Bare patches in the lawn look unsightly and are caused by damage, pets, or general wear and tear.

They can easily be repaired using Aftercut Patch Fix, which is a blend of grass seed, feed and seeding soil. This is best done in the spring or autumn months.

Follow the steps below to easily repair bare patches.

Step 1

Remove weeds, moss and debris.

Loosen the bare soil surface with a rake, breaking up any large lumps or compacted soil until it has a fine crumbly texture. You may need to add some Westland Top Soil or Westland Horticultural Sand if your soil is very clay-like.
