Patchy Lawn? Why Sod Repair Is the Smart Fix
September 23, 2024

No homeowner wants to see patchy, dry, or bare spots on their lawn. Whether it’s from pets, foot traffic, poor drainage, or sun damage, those rough patches don’t just ruin your curb appeal—they can spread if left untreated.

At Texas Sod Pros, we specialize in quick, clean, and long-lasting sod patch repair that blends seamlessly with your existing lawn. Here's why it’s a smart fix—and how we make it easy.

Common Causes of Lawn Damage

Your lawn goes through a lot. Here are some typical reasons homeowners call us for patch repair:

  • Pet urine or digging
  • Heavy foot traffic in the same areas
  • Drought or inconsistent watering
  • Fungal diseases or pests
  • Shade from trees or new structures
  • Improper mowing or soil compaction

Even a few small patches can make your entire yard look tired and uneven.

Why Sod Patch Repair Works Better Than Seeding

Trying to fix dead patches with grass seed can be frustrating. It takes weeks to grow, often doesn’t match your existing grass, and may never fully fill in.

Sod repair, on the other hand, offers:

  • Instant improvement—bare spots disappear same day
  • Better matching—we use the same or compatible grass type
  • Less maintenance—roots faster than seed and requires less care
  • Stronger hold—sod establishes quickly with proper soil prep

Our Patch Repair Process

Here’s how Texas Sod Pros handles sod patch repair with precision:

  1. Assess the problem – We identify what caused the patching to prevent future issues.
  2. Prep the soil – Dead grass is removed, and the soil is tilled, leveled, and conditioned.
  3. Custom-fit sod – We cut fresh sod to perfectly fill each patch and blend with your yard.
  4. Water and guide – You'll receive a watering plan to help it root fast and grow strong.

We treat every patch like a mini lawn install—because quality and consistency matter.

When to Repair Patches

You don’t have to wait for cooler months to fix your yard. We repair sod year-round, with optimal results in spring, summer, and early fall. The sooner you address damaged areas, the easier they are to fix—and the better your lawn will look.
