Restoring them requires some work, including seeding. Our yard care experts, serving the Missoula County, MT area,\u00a0explain how to approach the job.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>4 Yard Care Steps for Dealing with Spotty Areas<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Don&#8217;t assume areas in your lawn that have weak growth or no grass at all will fill in. In fact, these are prime targets for pests, weeds, diseases, and other issues to get established. Instead, focus on restoring them with new grass seed. To do that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Get the right seed. <\/strong>Odds are that here in Missoula you have a Bluegrass\/Perennial Rye lawn, and you want to match the seed you are buying with the lawn you have. Make sure to read the label on the back of the seed\u00a0bag before you buy, this is where seed types and the percentage\u00a0are listed.\u00a0Check to make sure it is a Bluegrass\/Perennial Ryegrass mix.\u00a0If you have a shady lawn, some Chewing Red Fescue in the blend will be helpful, but avoid Fine Fescue types.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prepare the soil. <\/strong>You&#8217;ll want to make sure the soil is smooth, without any dips or bumpy areas. Otherwise, these will be difficult to cut when you&#8217;re mowing your lawn. Also, remove any rocks or stones that can interfere with new seedling growth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Apply and cover the seed. <\/strong>When you&#8217;re putting down new seed, read the instructions on the bag and follow them carefully. Use a spreader too, so that coverage is consistent and the new growth looks even. Once you&#8217;re done, cover your new seed with a light layer of topsoil.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water each day.<\/strong> After seeding is complete, make sure you keep them constantly moist. Lightly water\u00a0them several times a day. However, avoid heavy watering, which can damage or even drown the seed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Get Yard Care Help from an Expert Team in\u00a0Missoula County<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There&#8217;s a lot that goes into getting the best results when you seed.
