Re: THE BEST ANSWER CHALLENGE - MEHNAZ'S QUESTION::::::::::
my FIL had this guy come and make holes in our lawn and flipped the soil. I thought it looked gross and reminded me of doggy do, but a couple of days later, our lawn had rich green grass!
Re: THE BEST ANSWER CHALLENGE - MEHNAZ'S QUESTION::::::::::
afshi....I think you are talking about aeration......unless I am wrong, that doesn't help with patchy areas where there is no grass.
Mehnaz.....if the areas are not too big then the best option would be to buy the rolled up sod and lay it down. You are in a pretty mature neighbourhood with respect to trees and I'm sure that keeping the little critters away will be an impossible task. I wouldn't even try. Sod is not expensive but it will take some elbow grease to dig up the ground and discard some of the top soil that is currently in the patches but it is well worth it.

Thanks guys! I will try Muzna's advice. :)
Re: THE BEST ANSWER CHALLENGE - MEHNAZ'S QUESTION::::::::::
make sure that you water according to the instructions that they give you at the nursery where you purchase the sod.......water is ultra-important when you are transplanting.
good luck...let me know if you need help.....
Re: THE BEST ANSWER CHALLENGE - MEHNAZ’S QUESTION::::::::::
When is the best time to do this? I read that we should do this early spring or in the fall. Not in the summer. 
Re: THE BEST ANSWER CHALLENGE - MEHNAZ'S QUESTION::::::::::
absolutely......you should be doing it now.....especially since the rains of spring will ease your watering routine.....
