My puppy is slowly killing my lawn. I have brown circles all over it where he has pee'd. Will they grow back on their own or will I have to do something to help it? When I get my pup neutered, will it stop him killing it with his pee?

Question for gardeners - I don't get any sun on the right hand side of my garden. I have tried loads of plants in the border but they die. Can anyone suggest plants or bushes that will survive in clay soil and that doesn't need any sun?

"I have brown patch (a lawn guy diagnosed it) on my very nice st
augustine lawn in Austin, TX and it is spreading really fast!
I am planning to use Turfcide 10 from Home depot on it. I hope that
works.
Are there any special instructions for the spray or the granules. Like
do I water in? When? Do I spray all over or only the part with brown
spot?
How much time does it take for the lawn to show effects?
If my lawn has been fertilized in August, should I still go ahead and
fertilize it for the winter using Winterizer.
So many questions. Would appreciate answers to all of them cause I know
nothing about lawns!! (obviously:)
Anything else that helps me care for my lawn is welcome too. Thanks in
advance for the advice."

I googled this everywhere but no one describes the entire procedure. I am extremely new in this area and am pretty dumb in these matters. So pls help!!!

I have st augustine grass in Austin TX and just need to change 4 squares of it near the curb.

I have some questions:

1. what do I spread below it?
2. How do I place it?
3. Does the soil at the bottom have to be tight?
4. what if there are gaps? Do i fill them with soil?
5. After sodding, do i roll over it with something?
6. After sodding, when do I water?
7. How often do I water?
8. How do I water- with a hose? How long? Or with a mug and bucket? Does it matter?
9. Do I fertilize immediately or after 4 weeks?

Sorry about the long list but I have no clue what to do and am so worried. Thanks in advance!!!

I need my existing driveway ripped out and a new base and asphalt put in. My driveway is 68 feet by 21 feet and have no way to tell if the contractors are giving me fair estimates.

I live in NE Ohio, and have babied a "pet" Brugmansia for more than ten years. It reached 8 feet tall and stopped, thank goodness, for I have to drag the poor thing inside in October. What I've never been able to find out is: what pollinates those huge, white flowers? A bat? It's fragrant at night time. And whatever it is, it does not live in Ohio. I've never seen seeds. A note: a Brugmansia is NOT a Datura. The flowers are very simular, but the plants are different. Brugmansia flowers hang downward, while Datura flowers point upward.
