Tall fescue Kentucky bluegrass Bermuda grass
If you have any dead or dying grass in your yard, use the rake to rake up the dead grass and remove it. Then, you can rake the soil underneath to get it ready for reseeding.
Potting soil also adds valuable nutrients to the ground to help grass seed grow.
Grass seed is very hearty, so it will have no problem growing roots and establishing itself as long as it makes contact with bare soil.
Consider using an automatic sprinkler system so you don’t have to worry about remembering to water. Plus, motion-activated sprinklers may help keep dogs off your lawn.
Straw and hay also helps avoid wet soil and mud during the rainy season. If you do have multiple dogs walking through the area every day, use other methods mentioned below to keep them away from the area.
If your dogs are used to roaming free in the yard, take them out on a leash the first few times and lead them to their new potty area.
For a more permanent option, build a fence by digging post holes, installing the posts, and filling them in with concrete. Then, add either wood or chain link to connect the posts.
If urine spots are a big concern, consider using a pet spot repair treatment on your lawn. Repair treatments help neutralize the acidity of urine and provide nutrients so the grass can grow.
