How to Repair & Reseed a Patchy Lawn
Repair bare and thin lawn patches with preparation, seed, soil contact, watering and sensible aftercare.
- Identify why the patch failed first: wear, compaction, shade, poor drainage, pet damage or drought may need correcting as well as reseeding.
- Remove dead grass, weeds and loose debris, then lightly loosen compacted surface soil with a fork or rake.
- Level obvious hollows with suitable screened topsoil or lawn dressing and firm it lightly without compacting it hard.
- Choose grass seed suited to the conditions, such as general-purpose, hard-wearing or shade-tolerant mixes.
How to Paint or Treat a Fence & Garden Shed
Prepare exterior timber, choose a compatible coating and get more even coverage on fence panels, sheds and other garden woodwork.
- Check the timber condition first. Replace or repair rotten, structurally unsound or badly split sections rather than relying on paint to hold them together.
- Allow new or recently pressure-treated timber to reach the condition specified by the coating manufacturer before decorating; treatment moisture can interfere with adhesion.
- Brush off dirt, loose fibres and old flaking coating, and clean algae or contamination with a method suitable for the wood and previous finish.
- Protect nearby plants, paving, glazing and metalwork and avoid coating hardware or drainage gaps that need to remain free.
