A few dead spots do not mean the whole lawn has to go. If the grass around them is healthy, cutting out the bad areas and laying new sod gets the yard back to one even lawn with far less work than a full replacement.
The key is fixing whatever killed the grass first. In Chandler that is usually a sprinkler zone that misses, summer heat on a thin spot, foot traffic or packed clay soil, and sod repair only lasts once that cause is dealt with.

These are the six kinds of lawn damage we repair most often in Chandler, Gilbert and Mesa grass lawns.
Most are small enough to patch. When the dead area covers most of the yard, a full sod install is the smarter spend, and we will tell you that up front.
Big brown areas in an otherwise green lawn, often from a zone that is not getting water.
Spots worn down to dirt by foot traffic, play or a shortcut across the yard.
Patches burned out or dug up where the dog runs.
Bermuda that thinned out under a tree, replaced with a more shade tolerant grass where it fits.
Lawn torn up for a pipe, sprinkler or utility repair.
We look at how much of the lawn is still alive and tell you straight whether patching or a full install is the better buy.
New sod dropped into a spot a sprinkler never reaches will die the same way. We check coverage, traffic, shade and soil at each patch, and your written quote says what caused it and what we will do about it.
Sometimes the fix is a sprinkler head, and sometimes it is loosening caliche or clay under the patch. Either way, it happens before the new sod goes in.
Done in this order, the new sections knit in and stop looking like patches. Square cuts and a level soil bed are what make a repair disappear.
Each sod repair in Chandler follows the same five steps, whether it is one dog spot or a dozen dry patches across a Tempe backyard.
Why each area died.
Dead sod removed in square sections.
Loosened, leveled and topped up.
New sod set flush with the lawn.
Soaked, then short daily cycles.
Sod repair fixes the damage. Keeping it from coming back usually means sorting out the sprinklers and thickening the rest of the lawn with seed in the fall.
Regular mowing at the right height also helps the patches blend in with the grass around them. Most repairs go better when they are paired with at least one of these.
Patches are priced by the job, not by the square foot off a list. Four details set what a repair costs.
A single large dead area goes faster than many small spots scattered across the yard. If a sprinkler fix or soil work is needed first, that is listed on the quote too.
Added up across every spot we replace.
One big patch goes faster than ten small ones.
A sprinkler fix or soil work adds to the job.
Some varieties are easier to source than others.

These are the questions we hear most about sod repair in Chandler, from matching the grass to caring for the new patches.
We match the grass type, Bermuda or St. Augustine, and the closest variety we can get. New patches can look a shade different at first and blend in as they grow and get mowed with the rest.
Seed on a bare spot takes weeks to fill in and weeds often get there first. Sod covers the area right away. For thin but living grass, overseeding is the better fit.
Most often a sprinkler zone that is not reaching, followed by foot traffic, dog urine, heavy shade and packed soil. Each one needs its own fix before the sod goes in.
Anything from a single spot a few feet across to several patches around the yard. Once most of the lawn is gone, a full sod install is usually the better value.
Yes, for the first couple of weeks. New sod needs more frequent water than the established grass, so we show you how to give those spots extra without soaking the whole yard.
Yes. Once the work underground is done, we level the trench and lay sod over it so the line blends back into the lawn.

A repair only blends if it is the same kind of grass as the lawn. These are the lawns we patch most.
We identify your grass before ordering anything, since Bermuda and St. Augustine look nothing alike up close. A mismatch is obvious the first time the lawn gets mowed.
