The Perfect Lawn Repair Tools For Pet Damage

Pets can wreak havoc with a lawn. They like to dig and scratch and, of course, grass makes a perfect toilet. The problem is, pets, dogs in particular, tend to work on the same areas all the time. This leads to patches of dead or damaged lawn everywhere. There are a couple of solutions.

When it comes to dogs and the damage they do using your lawn as a toilet. There is a great lawn repair tool combination that works wonders. Yesterday we wrote about clover and how hardy it is. Did you know that clover was impervious to animal urine. Dogs can go to the toilet all they want and it won’t affect the clover.

Animal urine adds to much in the way of nitrogen to the soil – clover loves nitrogen and will convert it into more growth. So rather than constantly repairing an area that a pet frequently uses, change its surface. Your pets won’t mind and your lawn will thrive.

To change the lawn’s structure, mow the damaged area back hard. Use a lawn repair tool to roughen and aerate the surface then sow with a clover seed that is suitable for your area and water it in well.  The clover may dominate that particular patch of lawn, but that is fine since it will continue to receive treatment from your pet. Over time, the clover will pump more nutrients into the soil – this will help your lawn to stabilize and animal urine will no longer be a problem.
