Helpful tips from lawn advisors:

When to plant perennial rye and fescue grass seed?

Seeding and patching should be an annual practice and done as needed to lawns throughout the growing season. The optimal time to apply Bare Repair Sun & Shade is spring and fall when temperatures consistently range between 55 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit.

How long does fescue and perennial grass seed take to grow?

Expect germination in 14 days or less.

Should I use Bare Repair before or after Sunday fertilizer?

You can apply either one first–the order is up to you, and it won’t damage the seed! Since some grass types come up quickly, having some nutrients there can enhance growth.

How to plant bare repair

Prep your soil. Remove debris and break up exposed soil in bare areas. This ensures seed-to-soil contact, which is essential for the seed to grow.
Spread Bare Repair at the recommended rate. Spread over patches at a rate of 1 cup per 1 sq. ft. For thinning lawns, apply 1 pound per 15 sq. ft.
Water seeded areas 1–2x daily. Water in the early morning and evening until grass is about 2” tall. Limit traffic on the newly patched spot until new grass is established.

Patch filler

This product worked really well to address some bare patches in my lawn from previous pet spots and other damage. Very easy to apply and maintain. After a couple weeks it had filled in nicely and came along even more with the use of other Sunday products.

I raked and cleaned up

I raked and cleaned up the bare area and placed the Bare Repair. I kept it watered slightly everyday for approximately 2 weeks. Before I knew it there was grass growing in the area. The areas blended right in to the grass. A really great solution for bare spots as the name suggests!!! Thanks

Easy 1-Step Spot Fix

My dog loves to leave me bare spots in my lawn from wiping/kicking her paws. (Pet owners know when this takes place). This is a great one step fix to keep on hand. Especially Through spring, summer, and fall.

Worked well

Planted this on a bare patch in fall. The grass started to grow within 3 or 4 days. I would recommend using some weed killer at some point as well (I did not, but will next time). Happy with the product.

A Grass Seed Patch that Works!

I removed some bushes from the yard and I’ve tried to grow grass in the bare spot several times using various patch products. No success. But before going to sod, I decided to try Sunday’s patch. It worked! There is finally grass in the once bare spot!

Easy to use

I liked that everything was all in one product instead of having to use separate fertilizer, etc. And that you didnt have to do much work to put it down. The grass I planted sprouted up immediately in one area bc it was much easier to keep it moist and from drying out than in another--but thats more on me and where my yard gets the most sun than t...Read More

Q: Can you use on Bermuda lawn?

Store Owner

03/22/25

A: This seed blend is a mix of 2 types of premium perennial ryegrass and 1 type of fine fescue grass seeds, so we don't recommend using on Bermuda lawns. Take a look at our Bare Repair Bermudagrass blend instead: getsunday.com/shop/lawn-care/bare-repair-bermudagrass-3-in-1-patch
