If you have a beautiful, lush lawn in your property, you know that proper care is essential to keep it in optimal condition. However, even dedicated homeowners may sometimes have difficulties keeping their lawn healthy and green, which often requires fresh grass sod to be installed. In this blog, we are exploring common signs that you may need to replace your lawn with new sod in Edmonton. Let’s have a look at some examples.

Poor Drainage

If you have recently noticed that your lawn is having difficulties draining water, it may be necessary to replace it with a fresh grass sod. Though the right level of humidity is essential for keeping your lawn in optimal condition, excessive amounts of water can cause the opposite effect, soaking the grass and killing its roots. This is typically more visible during rainy months, such as July, when the water from constant precipitation may take more time to be absorbed. In most cases, this is a sign that your lawn is not being able to drain water properly, which may require you to replace it with fresh grass sod.

Bare Spots

Another sign that you may need fresh lawn sod installation is finding excessive bare spots in your lawn. This typically means that the roots in that particular area have died, which prevents the growth of grass. Roots can be killed for a variety of reasons, including diseases, heavy traffic, insect infestation and more. Regardless of the reason, it is usually very difficult to fully revitalize a lawn in such conditions with watering and fertilization only. In most cases, grass sod replacement is recommended.

Weeds Throughout the Lawn

Weeds can cause great damage to your lawn if not properly controlled. This is because they will compete with your grass for air, water, and most importantly, nutrients. Excessive amounts of weed can quickly lead to the death of roots in certain areas, leaving you with a patchy and dull-looking lawn. If you are having difficulties dealing with weeds in your lawn, it may be necessary to replace it with a fresh sod. 

Serious Diseases

While it is possible to treat some diseases without replacing your sod, most noticeable signs are only visible when your lawn is severely affected. These include brown patches, dead spots, dull appearance, mould growth and more. In many cases, the best alternative to treat diseases in your lawn is to replace it with a new and healthy grass sod. This ensures a more definitive solution and avoids costly and time-consuming treatment methods.
