Planting & Growing Instructions

Lawn Repair - Bare Spot Repair

Improving Bare Spots
Mow your lawn closely, then remove leaves, dead grass, etc. Rake, harrow lightly, or aerate the bare spots to prepare the seedbed. Conduct a soil test to be sure the soil has the proper balance of nutrients. Fertilize and lime if needed. Sow the seed and gently rake to cover. Keep the area well watered until the seed germinate and the seedlings have grown sufficiently to cover bare spots, then water as needed.

Care & Maintenance
Fertilize fall and early spring with a balanced fertilizer. Once the lawn is established, apply pre-emerge crabgrass preventer in early spring and weed and feed in mid-spring. Use lime when pH is low. Water twice weekly when established.
