How to Fix Up Dead Grass

Dead grass can add an unsightly blemish to what might otherwise be a beautiful landscape. A few different issues can contribute to patches of dead grass -- yards frequented by animals, for instance, can have dead grass areas caused by waste. Heavy objects that sit on grass for an extended period of time can also cause grass to die. And then, of course, there are weeds that suck away key nutrients that grass needs to survive.

One of the best ways you can add instant improvement to the look of your landscape is by fixing up dead grass. A method used by quite a few homeowners is patching, which makes use of grass patches to fill in areas of grass that have died. Another way to repair the area is to reseed it with brand new grass. If you opt to take this path, you’ll want to use seeds from the same type of grass that’s already growing in your yard. Before you reseed, use a rake to pull all of the existing dead grass from the area so that your new grass has an easier time growing in.

When your new grass is planted and growing, a great way to keep it well watered and in shape is with an irrigation system.
