Is your dog's urine damaging your lawn? 👇👇👇
👉 Here are my top tips for fixing the damage
I'll show you how to repair dog pee stains on your lawn.
👉 The first step is to identify the burn on the lawn, which is characterised by a brown or yellow patch of grass with a dark green ring around the edge. This dark green ring is caused by excess nitrogen in the urine, which stimulates the growth of the grass around the burn.
👉 Next, I use a rake to clear away the dead grass, which helps to expose the soil and make it easier for the new grass to take root. I then fork the area to aerate the soil and improve drainage, which is important for healthy grass growth.
👉 To help break up the water tension in the soil, I use a wetting agent made from dishwashing soap. This helps the soil to absorb water more effectively and provides a better environment for the grass to grow and will dilute any remaining pee in the soil
👉 Next, I mix up some soil (you can also use compost) and seed in a bucket, to provide nutrients and improve soil quality. This is beneficial for growing strong, healthy grass that can withstand environmental stressors.
👉 Once the soil is prepared, I level the area with my foot, which is suitable for small areas. For larger areas, a rake or other leveling tool may be more appropriate.
👉 Finally, I come back a few weeks later to check on the progress of the new grass. With proper care and maintenance, the area should be fully repaired and looking great!
⭐ Overall, this process requires a bit of patience and effort, but it's a simple and effective way to repair dog pee stains on your lawn and keep your outdoor space looking beautiful.
