The most effective solution is a two-step process. First, we perform core aeration, which removes small plugs of soil to alleviate compaction, allowing water, air, and nutrients to reach the roots. Immediately following, we overseed the entire lawn, focusing on bare patches, with a premium grass blend specifically selected for drought resistance and our local soil. This combination addresses the core problem and promotes a thick, healthy turf.

Our West Texas soil is prone to becoming hard and compacted, which chokes out grass roots and prevents water penetration—leading to runoff and dry patches. Our core aeration service physically breaks up that compaction. The created holes reduce soil density, improve drainage, and stimulate deeper root growth. It's a foundational treatment that makes any subsequent fertilization or watering much more effective for a lasting recovery.

Overseeding is crucial because bare patches won't fill themselves in our climate; they just get worse. We don't just sprinkle seed—we prepare the soil, use a high-quality seed blend of Bermuda and Buffalo grasses known for their heat tolerance and low water needs, and ensure proper seed-to-soil contact. This method introduces vigorous new grass plants that knit together with your existing lawn, creating a dense, uniform turf that naturally resists weeds and withstands our local conditions.
