So if grass spreads by it seeds getting into every nook and cranny, how come we get patchy gardens?

Grass is a hardy plant but it’s not invincible. It can struggle to take root in dry and compacted dirt, areas of heavy shade, areas that are constantly waterlogged, areas with high foot traffic, areas poisoned by winter salt or jerk-ass trees with toxic leaves…
The barren spots in my own yard are the north-facing bits that get very little direct sunlight and the low spots that are often swampy.
If you’re really struggling to get a spot to seed, you may have to try a different kind of plant better adapted to whatever’s going on there, or a non-plant landscaping.
