Scarlet Landscaping - Charleston's Certified Landscaping Services

This is a common issue here. Often, it's due to uneven water distribution from sprinkler heads that are misaligned, clogged, or spaced incorrectly for your yard's specific layout and slope. We perform a detailed audit of your system to identify coverage gaps and adjust or replace heads to ensure every area, especially those prone to drying out, gets consistent, adequate water.

For lasting results in our climate, we recommend a full repair process: removing the dead turf, loosening and amending the compacted soil beneath (a frequent culprit), leveling the area, and then installing fresh sod or high-quality seed. We'll also analyze your irrigation to ensure the new grass gets properly established and doesn't succumb to the same problem.

Absolutely. We specialize in optimizing irrigation for local conditions. This includes adjusting watering schedules based on sun exposure and soil type, installing rain sensors to prevent overwatering, and re-zoning your system so areas with different needs (like sunny slopes vs. shaded gardens) get the right amount of water. This saves water and creates a healthier, more uniform lawn.
