Then, we install a 3-4 inch layer of shredded hardwood mulch, which is excellent for our local climate as it mats together to block sunlight and retains moisture better than chipped mulch. This approach significantly reduces the weed seeds common in our area from germinating.

In our area, yes, it's very common. Grubs and chinch bugs are frequent culprits behind brown, thinning, or spongy turf. The best course of action is a professional diagnosis.
