I am new here today and am a keen amateur gardener (still learning). I
have just spent alot of money re-landscaping my garden. The back lawn
is still growing great and is very lush. However, the front has been
subject to dog urine (I have about 6 patches and could cry!). I am
getting the front walled in, but I need to know if I would need to just
replace the damaged patches, or is there anything I can do to promote
growth again? Any advice you can give me would be very appreciated.

In most cases, small areas like that will fill in by themselves. It
also depends on the type of grass. If you have some bluegrass in the
lawn, it will spread via rhizomes, which is one reason it's in many
grass seed mixes. Clump type grass will also grow larger to fill in
gaps.





Also, I notice in my back lawn I have some very small mushrooms coming
through. Is this something I should worry about or do I just mow them
up when I cut the grass.


Nothing to worry about. They usually occur when there is lots of
moisture and some organic material, like old wood, decaying near the
surface. Just make sure you're not overwatering the lawn.
Established lawns should get about 1" of water a week, which may be
one application or split into two, about 4 days apart, depending on
the soil.






I look forward to your replies.
