5 Signs Your Lawn Needs to Be Replaced

Not sure if your lawn needs a full replacement or just some TLC? Here are five clear signs that it is time to call Sodding Company for a fresh start.

1. More Than Half Your Lawn Is Dead or Brown

If the majority of your grass is brown, bare, or patchy, spot repairs will not cut it. Once more than 50 percent of a lawn is damaged, full resodding is more cost-effective and gives you a uniform, healthy result.

2. Grubs Have Destroyed the Roots

Grub damage is one of the most common reasons for lawn replacement in the GTA. If you can pull up sections of your lawn like a carpet, the grubs have eaten the roots and the grass is beyond saving. New sod with fresh topsoil is the fix.

3. Weeds Have Taken Over

When weeds outnumber grass blades, no amount of herbicide will restore your lawn. The fastest and most effective solution is to strip everything out and start fresh with clean sod that naturally resists weeds.

4. Drainage Problems Are Getting Worse

If water pools on your lawn after rain, the grading is wrong. A lawn replacement gives us the opportunity to regrade the soil for proper drainage away from your house — something that cannot be fixed without lifting the existing lawn.

5. You Are Selling Your Home

First impressions matter. A fresh, green lawn instantly boosts curb appeal and can add thousands to your home’s perceived value. Real estate agents consistently say a new lawn is one of the best ROI improvements for a home sale.
