Repairing Your Lawn

By Carl Jenson


Determining the main cause of the dry grass will likely be the first task in restoring dead yard. It is going to be extremely important to repair this issue ahead of carrying out anything else. This is usually the hard part and when it is not dealt with the grass will revert back once being fixed.

Possessing dead spots in your yard is quite ugly plus can make your house appear like it's not getting properly cared for. At times the cause could be by animal waste. This could be quickly remedied through not allowing the dogs and cats on your lawn. This can be done by putting up a fence.

At times weeds can cause your lawn to die out in spots. It's going to be important to evaluate which the weed is and see if there is a herbicide that may work for this issue. Spraying this around the yard might be required.

An additional way to repair dead grass when it is a result of drought or insufficient water is to utilize a sprinkler. Some individuals choose to install a sprinkler system with a timer to manage this problem.

If some people want to care for this problem right away then have spots of the dead grass and soil dug up and then substituted for brand new sod. This can only work if the original problem is taken care of.

An additional way to resolve a dead lawn issue is to put grass seed down. This is usually protected with some hay to keep the wild birds and other animals from eating the seeds. It'll need to be properly watered regularly also.

Using fertilizer may also be required when grass is dying off in patches. Sometimes it just requires more vitamins and nutrients in the dirt to really make it grow. There are lots of varieties of fertilizer that may be obtained so it may be important to have the soil checked to see what it is lacking that it needs.
