Trusted Landscapers in San Jose, CA 95122 - Kacome Construction

The best approach starts with diagnosing the cause, which in our area is often compacted soil, poor drainage, or shade. We typically recommend core aeration to relieve compaction, followed by top-dressing with quality soil and overseeding with a hardy, sun-appropriate grass blend. For persistent problem areas, we might suggest converting the patch into a drought-tolerant planting bed or a decorative hardscape feature, which is a smart, long-term solution for San Jose's climate.

Prevention focuses on improving your lawn's resilience and your irrigation system's efficiency. We conduct irrigation audits to fix leaks and optimize sprinkler coverage, often recommending an upgrade to a smart controller that adjusts watering based on local weather. For the lawn itself, deep, infrequent watering encourages stronger roots. The most effective long-term strategy is incorporating drought-tolerant native plants and grasses, which we can seamlessly integrate into your landscape to significantly reduce water use while maintaining beauty.
