Breakdown

A bagged mix for patch repair
Scotts PatchMaster Lawn Repair Mix Sun + Shade Mix is a bagged lawn repair product for bare spots. It combines grass seed, recycled mulch, and fertilizer so the patch area gets seed, cover, and food from one material.
The mix is meant for spring or fall repair work when the soil surface can be prepared and kept moist. It suits side yard edges, small open patches, and lawn sections that need a fresh start after dead grass is removed.
The recycled mulch helps hold moisture
The mulch portion gives the patch a visible surface layer after spreading. Once watered, the mulch helps hold moisture around the seed during the first stage of growth.
Use a rake or cultivator to loosen the top layer before spreading the mix. A prepared surface gives the seed a clear place to settle and helps the material sit evenly over the patch.
The bag size fits several small spots
The 4.75 pound bag covers up to 140 square feet according to Scotts. That amount fits several small patches or a defined strip along a lawn edge.
After spreading, water gently and keep the surface moist as the product label directs. A soft spray, rain wand, or adjustable sprinkler helps the patch stay damp while the seed begins to establish.
