How to Easily Repair Bare Patches in Your Lawn | Squire's Garden Centres

It's all too common to have a bare patch develop in your once perfect grass lawn. There are many reasons it could happen such as drought, compacted soil, overuse, something has spilled on it like oil, an object has sat on it for too long, or it could even be caused by birds or pests. Whatever the reason, you want to repair it as fast as possible so it doesn't get any bigger and your lawn looks as perfect as can be.
The great news is that repairing bare patches in the lawn is very simple, just taking a few steps and key items, and before you know it the patch or patches that once plagued you will be gone to be replaced by lush new grass.
