Spotty grass

I’ve had this problem for about 3 years. Grass in a portion of my lawn (about 150 sq feet) that is shaded grows spotty. Only small clumps of grass grow in this area. The rest is bare earth. It looks like freckles The rest of the lawn is perfect.

I’ve seeded, put new top soil on and seeded again but the results are always the same.

Desperate for help.

Thanks.

Bernie

Find a shade tolerant grass and plant it on that spot

I don’t know your grass type so its hard to give an opinion. For example, I have empire zoysia, it would not grow well in your shaded spot. St. Augustine would most likely.
