The Fast Fix: Lay sod. That’s it. Seriously—no erosion blankets, no guessing with seed, no "wait and pray it grows." Sod grabs on like it knows your dirt’s about to run away and says: “Not today, gravity.”
FAQ: Will Grass Eventually Fill in Bare Spots?
The Short Answer: Maybe. Eventually. Possibly. If the weather cooperates. If the seed takes. If your dog stops digging. And if you enjoy watching paint dry, you’ll love waiting on grass to “fill in naturally.”
