1. Either water your lawn or go out after a rain as well as remove weeds by h as well as , making sure to get the root system or else the weed will grow back. Use a d as well as elion tool to remove d as well as elions.
2. Re-seed entire lawn (in Fall as well as /or Spring), paying particular attention to bare spots. Use a grass mix with a higher percentage of Rye grass (rye grass is a quick growing annual that will help to establish the other slower growing perennial grasses).
3. De-thatch as well as aerate your lawn in the Spring. Continue to re-seed once a year till lawn is thick.
4. Keep you lawn mower at higher settings during the Summer months.
