Introduction

A patchy, thinning lawn can take away from the beauty of your outdoor space — but it doesn’t have to stay that way. Whether caused by pests, drought, heavy foot traffic, or neglect, damaged grass can bounce back with the right approach.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how we revive lawns, repair bare spots, and restore lush, even growth all year round.

Spring: Kickstart the Recovery

Focus: Repair and reseed (March–May)
Spring is prime time for lawn repair. We start by removing debris, loosening compacted soil, and applying fresh grass seed to bare areas. Adding a layer of nutrient-rich topsoil and a slow-release fertiliser helps new growth establish quickly.

Summer: Protect and Strengthen

Focus: Maintain health and prevent further damage (June–August)
During summer, the goal is to protect new grass from heat stress and damage. We mow at a slightly higher setting to shade the soil, water deeply but less frequently, and address any pest or weed issues before they spread.

Autumn: Build Long-Term Resilience

Cooler temperatures in autumn create ideal growing conditions for grass to thicken and strengthen. This is when we overseed thin areas, feed the lawn with a balanced fertiliser, and continue mowing until growth slows.
