Its key benefit is a 2-in-1 solution combining grass seed with nourishing feed and a unique formula to neutralize pet urine salts.

FAQs
How long does it take for the grass to grow?
Germination typically occurs within 5-10 days, with significant growth visible within 2-3 weeks, depending on soil conditions and weather.
Can I use this on my entire lawn if it's generally thin?
Westland Patch Fix is primarily designed for repairing specific bare or damaged patches. For general lawn thinning, a broader overseeding product might be more suitable.
Is it safe to use around established plants or flower beds?
While the formula is child and pet friendly, it is best to avoid direct application onto established plants or into flower beds to prevent unintended growth or competition.
What is the coverage of the 2.4kg pack?
The 2.4kg pack can treat up to 32 large patches or 80 smaller patches, based on recommended application rates.
When is the best time of year to apply Patch Fix?
The best times to apply are spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November) when the soil is warm and there is adequate moisture for germination.
Will the grass grow in shady areas?
Yes, the specially selected grass varieties are suitable for repairing shady spots where grass may struggle to establish.
Can I mow the lawn after applying?
Wait until the new grass has grown to at least 5cm (2 inches) high before mowing. Set your mower to a higher setting for the first few mows.
Troubleshooting
Seeds are not germinating.
Ensure the area is kept consistently moist, has good soil contact, and has not dried out. Check for adequate sunlight and avoid applying immediately before heavy frost.
New grass is weak or sparse.
Verify that the correct application rate was used. Ensure the soil was adequately prepared and that the area receives sufficient water and sunlight. Consider a follow-up application if coverage was too thin.
Existing lawn is still damaged by pet urine.
Ensure the product was applied directly to the damaged patch. The neutralizing effect works best when seeds are sown into the affected soil. Reapply if damage is severe.
Grass color does not match existing lawn.
This product uses specially selected grass varieties. While efforts are made to match common lawn types, slight variations in color or texture may occur. It will blend over time with regular mowing and care.
