First do your research and find out what grass seed is best for your project. Loosen the soil up a bit with a hard dethatching rake, spread seed, cover with straw, give it a good watering. Water daily for several weeks.
Fertilizers
Hi Deirdre,
Maybe you could recover the lawn you have by watering and spreading seed. Keep watering if it is dry and wait for the seed to appear. A lawn should be fertilized with weed and feed at least once a year, ariate and mow but not too short........good luck.......
Hi . What type of lawn do you have planted? Is it a cool season grass or a warm season grass?
When does it tend to look bad?
There are many reasons your lawn does not look good. This includes seasonal dormancy, ( a time you would expect the lawn to look bad), Lack of sufficient water, Not enough sunlight, lack of proper fertilizing, Finally, competing weeds. Can you share photo?
You can always spread grass seed, but to green up a lawn spread lime pellets or powder. Wear a mask. My husband does this every so often and then complains because it grows faster. Ask where you buy lime about a spreader.
