We all love our pets, but sometimes they can cause our lawn problems.

• Dogs urinating on the lawn will often scorch or kill the grass causing brown or bare patches. The best remedy for this is to wash off the affected area with water as soon as possible.
• Pets using the lawn for exercise on a regular basis will cause stress and wear to the grass, especially during the winter months, when the soil is soft.
• Squirrels, rabbits and other forms of wildlife will often dig holes in your lawn. Keeping the lawn strong and healthy helps prevent this.
• Moles can also damage a lawn in a short period of time. The most effective remedy is to call in a registered mole control expert who will deal with the problem effectively.
• Badgers can totally destroy a lawn in a very short period of time when digging for pests such as chafer grubs. Try to find out how they are getting in and fence it off.
