Mow your lawn closely, then remove leaves, dead grass, etc. Rake, harrow lightly, or aerate the bare spots to proper balance nutrients. Fertilizer and lime if needed. Sow the seed and gently rake to cover. Keep the area well watered until the seed germinate and the seedings have grown sufficiently to cover bare spots, then water as needed.
Care and Maintenance:
Fertilize in the fall and early spring with a balanced fertilizer. Once the lawn is established, apply pre-emerge crabgrass preventer in early spring and weed and feed in midspring. Use lime when pH is low. Water twice weekly when established.
