Dog Urine Patches In Chichester Gardens: Fast Repairs And Prevention

Dog urine concentrates nitrogen and salts in a small spot. In dry weather this burns grass blades and crowns, leaving a yellow or bare patch. Here is how to fix it fast and reduce future damage without giving up the lawn.

Quick repair steps

1. Flood the area within 12 hours to dilute salts.
2. Rake away dead material and lightly loosen the top 1 to 2 cm of soil.
3. Topdress with a thin layer of sandy loam.
4. Overseed with a hardy rye and fescue blend, press seed to soil, and water lightly each day until germination.
5. Keep off the area until the first cut at 6 to 7 cm.

Prevention that works

• Train to a dedicated pee zone with bark or gravel.
• Keep grass a little longer in summer to protect crowns.
• Maintain regular, balanced feeding so turf can recover.
• Encourage better hydration for more diluted urine.
• Spot water the exact area after incidents during heat.
