This is a classic sign of uneven watering, which is common with older or poorly adjusted irrigation systems. In our local clay-heavy soils, water often runs off or pools instead of soaking in evenly. We can perform a comprehensive irrigation audit to identify broken heads, correct water pressure, and adjust zones to ensure every part of your lawn gets the right amount of water, eliminating both drought stress and soggy areas.

Great question! The key is moving beyond traditional, thirsty lawns. We recommend incorporating native and drought-tolerant plants that are adapted to our climate and require minimal watering once established. We also specialize in installing smart irrigation controllers that adjust watering based on local weather data, and we use techniques like deep soil aeration and proper mulching to help your soil retain moisture more effectively.

Absolutely. Our process starts with a soil analysis to understand its composition and health. For drought-stressed lawns, we may recommend core aeration to improve water penetration, followed by overseeding with hardy grass varieties. For areas damaged by overwatering and potential fungus, we correct the irrigation issue first, then may need to dethatch, apply appropriate treatments, and re-sod severely damaged sections. Our goal is to restore your lawn's health from the ground up.
