Bald Spots in Your Lawn? Here’s How Patch Repair Can Bring It Back to Life
May 5, 2025

Bald patches. Brown spots. Dead zones. No matter what you call them, those ugly areas in your yard can make your entire lawn look neglected. The good news? You don’t need a full lawn replacement. With expert patch repair, your grass can look brand new again—fast.

At Texas Sod Pros, we specialize in diagnosing and repairing damaged lawns. Here’s how sod patch repair works, why it matters, and what to expect from the process.

🌱 What Causes Bald Spots in Lawns?

Before we repair, we diagnose. Bald or dead patches can result from:

  • Pet urine
  • Heavy foot traffic
  • Lawn diseases or fungus
  • Grub or insect damage
  • Drought or watering issues
  • Mowing too short (scalping)
  • Chemical spills or fertilizer burns

Knowing the cause helps us prevent the problem from coming back after the repair.

✅ What Is Lawn Patch Repair?

Patch repair is the process of removing dead or damaged sections of your lawn and replacing them with fresh, healthy sod. It’s like a mini lawn makeover—but without the full replacement cost.

We match the new sod to your existing grass type, so the repaired area blends in seamlessly.

🔧 How the Patch Repair Process Works

Here’s how we bring dead spots back to life:

  1. Inspect & Identify – We find the root cause of the damage.
  2. Remove Dead Grass – Old sod, roots, and debris are cleared away.
  3. Prepare the Soil – We loosen, level, and enrich the soil underneath.
  4. Lay Fresh Sod – New sod is installed tightly to fill the bald patch.
  5. Water & Care Instructions – We provide detailed aftercare tips to ensure healthy rooting.

🕒 How Long Does It Take to Heal?

  • Most patches begin rooting in 7–14 days with proper watering.
  • Full blending can take a few weeks, depending on the season and grass type.

With proper care, your lawn will look even and full again—without the hassle of starting from scratch.
