Will grass fill in bare spots on its own?

• <div><p>Whether or not grass will fill in bare spots itself depends on the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-identify-lawn-grass.htm">type of grass you have</a>. For example, grass with rhizomes (e.g., Bermuda grass) and stolons (e.g., Saint Augustine grass) will naturally fill in bald spots as it spreads laterally. However, clump-forming grasses will not spread. </p></div>

Q: How do I bring my yard back to life?

• <div><p>If your lawn and general landscape are struggling, consider calling a local landscape specialist to suggest lawn amendments, local plants, and hardscape changes to boost the long-term health of your outdoor space. While you may be able to take on small projects yourself&mdash;such as <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/reseeding-and-repairing-lawn.htm">reseeding your lawn</a> or testing the soil&mdash;a professional can help you build a plan to bring a struggling yard back to life quickly.</p></div>

Q: Is Bahia grass hard to grow?

• <div><p>Bahia grass is not difficult to grow, but you might need patience for this slow-growing grass. Whereas some grass species, like Bermuda grass, can take 1 to 2 weeks to germinate, Bahia grass can take two or three times as long, making it seem like it won&rsquo;t grow. But again, once your Bahia grass is established, it requires little maintenance. Its deep root system makes it a very durable grass that can bounce back after freezes and droughts. </p></div>

Q: Will grass grow back after vinegar?

• <div><p>Grass will grow back after being sprayed with vinegar. If you&rsquo;re looking for an alternative to chemical herbicides, vinegar can help you manage weeds. Use a mixture of 1 gallon of white vinegar, 1 cup of salt, and 1 tablespoon of dish soap to spray on your grass. This will kill the grass at the surface while keeping the roots intact, so it&rsquo;ll eventually grow back. You&rsquo;ll need to use an herbicide or manually remove the whole root system to get rid of grass for good.</p></div>

Q: Can I apply fertilizer before top dressing?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not required, but it is helpful if your goal is to produce new growth. Any fertilization should occur after the lawn is aerated and before the compost is applied. If you also plan to spread seed, you&rsquo;ll want to do so after the fertilizer is applied and once the ground is damp, but not wet.</p></div>
