Ronnie's Lawn & Handyman Services - Houston's Local Landscaping

Dead patches in Houston lawns are often caused by soil compaction, fungal diseases common in our humid climate, or improper watering. At Ronnie's, we start with a thorough assessment to identify the root cause, then implement solutions like core aeration to relieve compaction, targeted fungicide applications, and proper reseeding with grass varieties suited to Houston's conditions. Our comprehensive approach not only revives dead areas but helps prevent future issues.

We use a multi-step approach: first, we remove existing weeds completely, including roots. Then we install high-quality landscape fabric as a barrier before adding fresh mulch. We recommend using thicker mulch layers (3-4 inches) which naturally suppress weed growth, and we can apply pre-emergent treatments that prevent weed seeds from germinating. Regular maintenance visits help catch any new weeds early before they become established.

Houston lawns benefit from consistent mowing at the proper height (usually 3-4 inches), regular edging, seasonal fertilization, and appropriate watering—especially important during our hot summers. We recommend deep, infrequent watering rather than frequent light sprinklings. Our maintenance plans include all these elements plus weed control, aeration when needed, and monitoring for pests or diseases common in our area.
