Quick Lawn Repair

Even beautiful, lush, well-maintained lawns can need quick lawn repairs. Whether bare spots and thin areas come courtesy of beloved pets, municipal de-icing trucks or something amiss in soil pH, lawn damage can appear when and where you least expect it. These tips for quick lawn repair can help you get your lawn back on track fast:

Bare Spot Patching and Repair

When bare spots or thin areas happen in your lawn, you need a guaranteed fix that delivers quick, simple, luxuriant results. Pennington lawn patching and repairing products such as premium Pennington Smart Patch II mixes have what you need to patch or repair bare spots, fix thin lawns and grow a thick, beautiful lawn spot-free.

With premium Pennington Smart Patch II, you can eliminate the guesswork and frustration of lawn repairs. It not only fixes bare spots fast, it works to rejuvenate soil and protect against lawn diseases that leave spots bare. And like all our products, this dynamic pre-mixed product is guaranteed to grow under proper conditions.

Innovative Pennington Smart Patch II seeding mixtures combine drought-tolerant Pennington Smart Seed grass seed, professional-grade fertilizer, mulch that signals when it's time to water, plus a water-soluble tackifier that works like a blanket to keep seed where you put it — even when planting grass on slopes and hills. But that's not all: Smart Patch II also contains beneficial microbials that help restore biodiversity and soil health to make your lawn whole again.

If your lawn has more than bare spots, Pennington patching and repairing products can still help you turn your thin or damaged grass around. For extended thin areas with less than 25% damage, follow the same simple instructions for bare spot repair. Just apply Pennington Smart Patch II at the extended coverage rate noted on the product label.

Extended Thinning and Lawn Damage

For larger lawn areas with thinning or heavier damage — or to keep your lawn from growing thin — do what the pros do and overseed. When you overseed with premium Pennington Smart Seed grasses and products such as Pennington Lawn Booster, you're on your way to a thicker lawn with improved drought tolerance, improved disease resistance and significantly lower water needs compared to ordinary grass seed.

Purebred Pennington Smart Seed grasses are drought-resistant, water-conserving, environmentally friendly seed varieties that offer outstanding lawn performance and enhance the sustainability of your lawn. You can choose Smart Seed mixes and blends suited to your region and your lawn's unique conditions, including mixed sun and shade.

Developed through industry-leading research and breeding programs, Smart Seed grasses require up to 30% less water year after year than ordinary grass seed, and stay green up to three weeks without water.

Premium Performance and Results

With Pennington Smart Patch II mixes, each premium ingredient is designed and selected for superior performance and ease:

Superior, purebred Pennington Smart Seed enhances your lawn with all the benefits these top-performing, disease-resistant, water-conserving grass varieties offer.
Professional-grade fertilizer, specially chosen to optimize bare spot repairs, delivers a stabilized release of nutrients essential to healthy grass growth. This fertilizer continues to feed repaired areas for up to eight weeks after application.
Natural mulch helps to hold and maintain essential moisture needed by germinating seeds and grass seedlings as they establish. The subtle color change from dark to light as mulch dries out helps remind you to water repaired areas regularly.
Pennington's exclusive seed technology helps protect seed from common fungal disease that often strikes grass seedlings during their most vulnerable growing stage. This proprietary seed treatment helps grass seed establish faster and grow healthier.

As with Pennington Smart Seed grasses, premium Pennington Smart Patch II bare spot repair products can benefit any lawn owner who desires a beautiful, thick, spot-free lawn.
