You want your lawn to be beautiful and green and grow uniformly without too much maintenance. When problems start to develop, it can be easier and faster to replace the turf entirely than to nurse it back to the shape you want. Watch for these signs of stubborn problems that call for new sod.

When Should You Replace Your Turf?

1. Bald Spots

If you have a yellow spot, you might be able to resolve it with extra water, but if you're starting to see dirt or mud, you have a much bigger problem. That area won't grow back unless it's reseeded. If you don't remember exactly what kind of grass you have, planting the wrong kind of seeds will result in that area always looking different. Laying entirely new turf will give you a fresh start with uniform grass across the whole yard.

2. Weed Takeover

When you have just a few weeds, pulling them isn't too difficult. If you have too many weeds, however, they can start to choke out the grass. Even if you take the time to remove them all, your lawn will still be thin. Replacing it provides thick, lush growth immediately.

3. Lawn Disease

Watch for signs of fungus and diseases, including yellow or brown spots that don't go away with water or ring-shaped spots with healthy grass in the middle. Brown spots or red threads on the blades of grass can also indicate sickness, or you may see that the plant or its roots are rotting.
