How to Repair and Reseed Dead spots on Your Lawn

Lawn care is essential to having a beautiful, green, thick healthy lawn. Dead spots seem to come from nowhere, appearing overnight, unsightly brown dead grass that needs to be removed and redone, from scratch. There is a variety of causes that make dead spots, to much water, fertilizer, perhaps fungus or dog urine, grass is temperamental! My husband has had great success with repairing dead spots and he will only use Scott products as they have continually proven worthy.
