How to Repair Bare Patches in Your Lawn & Restore Healthy Growth

Bare patches in your lawn can be unsightly and create space for weeds and moss to take over. Whether caused by pet damage, foot traffic, pests, or disease, restoring bare spots is easy with the right approach.

1. Identify Why the Bare Patches Appeared

• Heavy foot traffic compacts the soil, restricting grass growth
• Pet urine creates yellow or dead spots
• Fungal infections kill grass in patches
• Drought or heat stress weakens grass in hot summers

2. How to Repair Bare Lawn Patches

Step 1: Remove Dead Grass & Loosen the Soil

Use a rake to remove dead grass and break up the topsoil to help new seeds take root.

Step 2: Overseed the Area

Choose a quality grass seed that matches your existing lawn. Spread it evenly over the bare patch.

Step 3: Water & Fertilise

Water lightly twice daily until new grass appears, then gradually reduce frequency. Apply a slow-release fertiliser to promote healthy growth.

Step 4: Protect New Grass

Keep foot traffic off the newly seeded area for at least 2-4 weeks.
