Is your lawn looking tired no matter how much you water, fertilize, or mow? While minor issues can often be fixed with patch repair, sometimes it’s smarter—and more cost-effective—to go with a full lawn replacement.
At Texas Sod Pros, we help homeowners decide when it’s time to stop patching and start fresh. Here are six clear signs that your yard is due for a full lawn makeover.
If weeds are taking over and you find yourself constantly battling unwanted growth, your lawn may have lost its natural defense. Over time, thinning grass allows weeds to dominate. Replacing your lawn with fresh sod instantly resets your yard with thick, healthy grass that crowds weeds out.
When your lawn has more bare soil than green grass—even after reseeding or fertilizing—it could mean the root system is beyond recovery. In this case, lawn replacement is your best option for lasting improvement.
Grubs and other pests can destroy large sections of your lawn from beneath the surface. If you've treated for pests but still see yellow patches and peeling turf, it’s often faster and easier to remove the damaged grass and install new sod.
Sometimes the problem isn’t your grass—it’s your soil. Compacted, nutrient-poor, or uneven soil can prevent any grass from thriving. A full lawn replacement allows you to regrade the yard and improve soil health before laying new sod.
In Texas, scorching summers can fry your lawn. If large areas are brown, dry, or dead—even after deep watering—it may be time to replace it with a drought-tolerant sod variety like Bermuda or Zoysia.
If you've tried everything—fertilizing, aerating, patching—and your lawn still looks bad, you're spending more time and money on temporary fixes. A full lawn replacement offers a long-term solution with instant results.
