Grass needs sunlight to grow and if it does not it will be vulnerable to disease and eventually could die.

In most gardens, there are usually areas of the lawn, which are in partial or full shade. To protect these areas it is important to make sure that you have grass, which is tolerant to shade. This can be achieved through applying the right grass by localised overseeding or for larger areas by slit seeding.

It is also important to ensure that these areas are fertilised and watered less than the rest
of your lawn.
