Texas lawns go through a lot — heat, drought, flooding, pests, and foot traffic.
Eventually, grass starts to show signs of wear: thin patches, dead spots, or areas that never seem to bounce back.
But how do you know when it’s time for a sod repair — and when it’s smarter to start over with new sod installation?
At Limitless Landscaping, we evaluate lawn health and offer both solutions to restore your turf’s beauty and function.
Here’s how to decide which one your lawn really needs.
If your lawn is mostly healthy but has a few problem spots, sod repair is usually the answer.
✅ Great for high-traffic patches
✅ Works for pet-damaged areas
✅ Solves issues from poor drainage or fungus
✅ More affordable and less invasive than full replacement
We replace small sections with matching sod (Bermuda, St. Augustine, or Zoysia), level the area, and integrate it seamlessly.
Pro Tip: Fix the cause before replacing the sod — whether it’s poor drainage, pests, or soil compaction.
Sometimes, the damage is too widespread for patchwork.
❌ If more than 40–50% of your lawn is bare, we recommend new sod installation.
Common signs:
🚩 Widespread brown or dead grass
🚩 Lawn never recovers after watering or mowing
🚩 Invasive weeds have taken over
🚩 Soil is too compacted or uneven for healthy growth
We remove the old turf, amend the soil, level your yard, and install fresh, healthy sod that’s suited to your location and sunlight.
Before you repair or replace, it’s important to know what caused the problem:
Our team conducts a site assessment to determine root causes and correct them — so your new or repaired lawn thrives.
When repairing sod, we:
✔️ Cut out the damaged sections
✔️ Match the grass type for a seamless look
✔️ Level and prep the soil
✔️ Install new sod tightly and evenly
✔️ Provide watering and care instructions
We make sure the repair blends in beautifully and takes root quickly with the right follow-up care.
For full replacements, we:
🧱 Remove the old sod and debris
🧪 Test and amend the soil for pH and drainage
🛠️ Level and grade the area properly
🌿 Install fresh, premium sod
💧 Set a watering schedule for establishment
You’ll get a lush, green lawn that’s ready for foot traffic, outdoor fun, and instant curb appeal.
After sod repair or installation, proper maintenance is key:
We offer lawn maintenance plans that ensure your new turf stays healthy and strong all year long.
Whether it’s targeted sod repair or a full sod replacement, we’ll help you choose the right solution for your lawn’s health, your budget, and your long-term goals.
