When your lawn starts to look patchy, brown, or uneven, you may be left wondering—should you repair the lawn or replace it altogether? At Rosalio Padron Lawn Service, we help homeowners throughout Texas make the right choice based on their specific lawn conditions, budget, and long-term goals.

Here’s how to determine what’s best for your yard.

Signs You Need Lawn Replacement

Lawn replacement involves removing the existing grass and laying new sod or seed. This is ideal when:

• More than 40% of your lawn is damaged
• You have severe weed or pest infestations
• Soil is compacted or poorly draining
• Grass hasn’t responded to fertilization or watering
• You’re switching to a better grass type for your lifestyle or local climate

Lawn replacement gives you a fresh start, especially when combined with soil prep and proper irrigation setup.

When Lawn Repair Is Enough

Lawn repair addresses specific trouble spots without overhauling the entire yard. It's perfect for:

• Small brown patches
• Pet damage
• Sprinkler malfunctions causing dry zones
• Minor weed infestations
• Seasonal thinning

Our team offers patch repair, reseeding, aeration, and fertilization to restore healthy growth and visual appeal. For many homeowners, this is a cost-effective solution that keeps their lawn looking great without a full replacement.

Key Factors to Consider

Before making a decision, ask yourself:

• How much of the lawn is affected?
• What type of grass do you currently have?
• Is your irrigation system working properly?
• How soon do you want results?

Lawn repair is typically faster and more affordable. Lawn replacement, while a bigger investment, yields a longer-lasting transformation when done correctly.
