But before you start anything, make sure to analyze the cause of the bald spot and tackle that problem first, sometimes these bald spots are caused by a spillage of a chemical or product that then killed the grass, or it could be because the bald spot is above a septic tank, or something is really just wrong with the soil itself. Once you’ve sorted the problem out, you can start the process of fixing the bare spot.

Pour the top soil all over the bald spot until covered, then spread the soil evenly with a metal rake. To speed up the growth process, plug out some areas on the bald spot, then plug out a few from the healthy area, and place the healthy plugged-out soil to the hole in the bald spot. Press the plugged piece in nicely, then fill the holes in the healthy area with some fertilizer so that it recovers fast, and spread the high nitrogen fertilizer all over the topsoil to encourage the growth of the grass to become quicker. Lastly, spray the podium fertilizer all over the area and you’re done!
