Targeted repair of dead, thin or bare patches with new seed, sod or plugs, so small problems do not spread.
Every lawn has a trouble spot or two: where the dog runs, where the grill sat, where a tree dropped branches, where a disease or grub infestation left dead patches. Leaving bare soil invites weeds, erosion and a growing eyesore. A targeted patch repair gets grass growing again quickly and keeps the damage from spreading. In Middle Tennessee, patches often appear after hot summers, heavy shade, pet damage and fungus, and fall is the best time to fix them.
We first diagnose why the patch died, because replanting without fixing the cause just repeats the problem. Then we prepare the soil, loosen it and add compost or starter fertilizer, and repair with seed, sod or plugs, depending on your grass type and timing. We protect the patch with a light cover and give you watering and mowing instructions. For widespread damage, we may recommend a broader overseeding or renovation, and we tell you honestly which path makes the most sense for your lawn and budget.
Grubs, disease, pet damage, shade and compaction each need a different fix before replanting.
Loosening the surface and adding compost gives new grass a better start than seed on hard ground.
The best choice depends on your grass, the size of the area and the time of year.
A light cover and a clear watering plan keep the patch moist while it establishes.
