How to encourage growth in lawn patches?

[amichaelmedia]

Hey team. After top dressing last month, lawn hasn't bounced back in parts where I scalped a little and also is the highest point in the yard. I've given some liquid fert. And watered more, but what else can I do to get these patches out? More top soil?

Good morning @amichaelmedia if you can aerate those patches with a garden fork that will help with any drainage issues. You could add a little bit more of the top dress on the patches. May I ask if you water at night ? If so please stop as that will cause fungal problems with your lawn. Liquid feeding will help and you have done that. Keep in touch and let us know how it goes. Good luck 🪴😊

Hi @amichaelmedia,

Some great advice there from @mich1972. I'd also add that you need to give the lawn time to grow into the areas. Four weeks isn't a huge amount of time for a lawn to infill. I'm currently two months into trying to get my lawn to cover patched areas and still have far more bare areas than your lawn.
