Patching

The repair of a worn or damaged area of sward, typically by cutting out the area using a turf doctor to remove a square or hexagonal piece of turf. A new piece of turf will have been cut using the same equipment and this can then be neatly inserted into the extracted piece of damaged or worn turf. This procedure can be ideal for small areas, but where the area is extensive then returfing may be required, however, this will assume the time of year is suitable, the area can be rested to allow adequate establishment and that adequate resources are available.
