Bare patches are common in our local soil and climate. The best fix starts with diagnosing the cause—it could be compacted soil, pests, or uneven watering. We typically remove dead grass, loosen the soil, add a soil amendment if needed, and seed or sod the area. For a lasting solution in Canoga Park, we also recommend adjusting your irrigation schedule to ensure the new grass gets the right amount of water without runoff.

Clogging is often due to mineral deposits from our local water supply or debris in the lines. We start by flushing your system and checking filters and emitters. For a long-term fix, we might install a filtration system or recommend specific clog-resistant emitters suited for our water. Regular maintenance checks, especially before the dry season, can prevent most clogs and keep your plants healthy while conserving water.

One of the most critical tasks is preparing your irrigation system for the season. Before the heat arrives, have a professional check for leaks, clogs, and broken emitters. An inefficient system wastes water and can create those dry patches or overwatered areas. We also recommend aerating your lawn in the spring or fall to alleviate soil compaction, which helps water and nutrients reach the roots and prevents bare spots.
