Absolutely. A proper landscape design is the first step to solving drainage issues and reviving dead lawn areas common in our local soil. Our design process evaluates your yard's grading and identifies problem spots where water pools or runs off too quickly. We then create a plan that may include regrading, adding French drains, or selecting appropriate soil amendments and plants to improve absorption and establish healthy turf, effectively addressing the root cause of those unsightly patches.

To properly regrade a lawn and prevent dead spots, you'll typically need a mix of topsoil and fill dirt to adjust the slope for better drainage, along with high-quality sod or grass seed. We can help you calculate the exact amounts needed. Using the right soil is crucial—our local blends are formulated to promote strong root growth and improve water retention in Columbia's climate, which helps your new lawn resist drought and disease, keeping it lush and green.

While minor leveling can be a DIY project, significant grading issues that cause dead lawns often require professional assessment. Improper grading can worsen drainage problems. Our experts at Sonnenberg's provide valuable local knowledge. We can visit your property, assess the slope and soil conditions specific to Columbia, and design a cost-effective solution. This ensures the job is done right the first time, saving you time, money, and the frustration of recurring dead patches.
