Step 1: To repair a patch of grass you will begin by shoveling out the old sod. Hint: squaring off the patch area while shoveling will make it a nicer looking patch job. Step 2: Rough up the soil 3 to 4 inches deep, the soil will need to be loose for a successful patching. Rake out the loose soil to get all rocks and sticks out. Step 3: Bring in some new topsoil like Morrison Gravel’s Premium Lawn Blend to bring your soil up to grade and to mix into the previous soil for added nutrients. You may use sod or grass seed to patch the area. If using sod, Remember that your soil level should be 1/2 to 3/4 inch below grade. Cut a piece to the size of the patch and lay it on the soil, then finish trimming it to the correct size. Now press the area with the back of a rake and water thoroughly. For grass seed, Simply sprinkle it over the prepared area. Be sure to check with a hardware store that you are selecting the best option of seed for your yard and sprinkle it according directions for your particular seed. Then water the area sparingly. Final Step: Apply a starter fertilizer to the patched area and water again. Keep the patch moist until the area begins to root.
