For lasting repair of bare spots common in our area, we start by diagnosing the cause—often soil compaction, pests, or improper watering. We then aerate the soil, apply a high-quality grass seed blend suited for Abbeville's climate, and use a top-dressing to protect the seed. Proper follow-up watering is crucial, which is why we often check your irrigation system to ensure it's delivering even coverage without wasteful leaks.

Signs of a leak include soggy patches, unusually high water bills, or low water pressure at the sprinkler heads. In Abbeville's soil, even a small leak can cause significant erosion and lawn damage. We recommend a professional inspection. Our team performs a pressure test and checks each zone and valve to locate hidden leaks, then makes precise repairs to conserve water and protect your lawn's health.

Absolutely. A leaking sprinkler often creates two problems: a soggy area near the leak and dry, under-watered areas elsewhere in the zone. This uneven watering is a leading cause of bare spots. By repairing leaks and adjusting sprinkler heads for optimal coverage, we ensure your entire lawn receives consistent moisture. This is a key preventative step for maintaining a uniformly thick, green turf in the Abbeville heat.
