New lawn in sections?

May 29, 2005 0 Replies

Greetings,



My lawn was heavily damaged by a Bobcat (the mechanical kind). I have big patches of dead grass and areas where the ruts are 12 inches deep. I bought a bunch of loam and spread it out to take care of the ruts. For the areas that were damaged but still had some grass, I roto-tilled them. I have two questions:


1) Can i seed a new lawn in sections, doing one half now and one half in the fall? (i'm in new england) I know it's late for the spring seeding already, the weather has been unusually cool. .


2) After roto-tilling the grass sections, I have thousands of small clumps of grass that are impossible to rake up. can I loam over them and then plant or do I need to remove all the tilled-up old grass?


Any advice is greatly appreciated.
