Even if they care about the looks, unless they are real lawn
fanatics and know what specific grass was originally planted,
expecting the typical homeowner to be able to match the grass,
buy the correct one to match, when fixing a spot is asking a lot.
Even among the same species of grass, there can be a big
difference in appearance and typical homeowner isn't going
to be able to determine much of anything, unless they already know.
It would be a good idea to keep a note of what was used, if you even
know, but IDK anyone that does that. And most of the seed sold is
a mix of varieties anyway, further complicating what you can do.

*nods*

just keep mowing it regularly and prevent any
stray weeds from moving into the bare spots and
they'll fill in from the surrounding grasses
eventually. if you want to speed it up you
can rough it up a little and add organic matter
which will make it easier for plant roots/stolons
to invade or seeds to start.

we just mow whatever grows once in a while.
don't care much what it is. if it can't survive
being mowed regularly then that's ok too...

i think we're down to about 2% of the area being
lawn now. would like to get rid of the rest of
it too.
