Thin Or Patchy Grass
Is there an area of your lawn that has always been a bit thin or where grass does not seem to grow as well as other places? If you are noticing the same spots or thinness as spring warms up the air and the ground, it may be time to get a soil test. Some areas in lawns end up having a pH level that is not congruent with the rest of the lawn and need some correction in order to allow for proper plant growth. There may be other reasons you are noticing patchiness, such as if that is where you animal uses the restroom frequently, which can add to the imbalance in pH of the soil. After you administer the soil test, or have it administered, invest in the appropriate soil amendment and in the correct levels to promote proper grass growth.
Grubs
Another reason you may be seeing some patchiness in your lawn, grubs like to feed on the roots of your grass, killing off the plant and causing some unsightly dead spots.
Bald Spots
If you have some areas of your lawn that do not have grass in them, from whatever reason, maybe high traffic, spring is a great time to get them taken care of. Bald spots are different from the patchiness we were talking about earlier, but it can still be wise to do a soil test before laying down sod or planting seed. Mark off the area until the sod has been fully established, or the seed has sprouted and the plants are mature.
