Absolutely. Patchy grass is a common issue here, often stemming from soil compaction, improper watering, or pest activity. I start with a thorough inspection of your lawn and soil to identify the root cause. Drawing on my experience with everything from golf course greens to home lawns, I’ll create a targeted recovery plan. This often involves core aeration to relieve compaction, overseeding with suitable grass varieties, and adjusting your irrigation schedule to promote deep root growth and a thick, uniform turf.

Yes, addressing inefficient irrigation is a key part of our service. Sprinkler leaks and misaligned heads are frequent problems in our area that waste water and create dry or soggy patches. I can perform a complete irrigation system check, identify and repair leaks, adjust sprinkler heads for optimal coverage, and recommend a watering schedule that meets your lawn's needs without excess. Proper irrigation is foundational to a healthy lawn and managing your water bill effectively.
