The most effective method involves removing dead grass, loosening the soil, and applying a high-quality grass seed or sod suitable for our local climate. Proper watering and a starter fertilizer are crucial for establishment. We can assess your specific soil and grass type to recommend the right solution.

A key step is applying a fresh, thick layer of mulch (about 2-3 inches) to block sunlight from reaching weed seeds. Using a landscape fabric barrier underneath can provide extra protection. For existing weeds, careful removal of the entire root system is necessary before re-mulching.

For warm-season grasses common here, late spring through early summer is optimal for patching and seeding, as soil temperatures are warm. Fall is an excellent time for mulch bed maintenance and pre-emergent weed control to get a head start on the next growing season.
