Twin Oak Landscaping
Sometimes a lawn is fine except for the three dead patches you look at every day. Targeted repair fixes those without paying to renovate the whole thing.

The Service
Bare spots have causes: a dog run, a spot where something was parked, grubs, fungal damage, heavy shade, a buried rock near the surface, or salt from a winter of driveway treatment. Reseeding without dealing with the cause produces a patch that dies again in the same place next year.
So the work starts with working out why. Then the spot gets loosened, topdressed with good soil, seeded at a heavier rate, and blended into the surrounding grass so the repair does not read as an obvious circle once it grows in.
Owner-Operated
Each patch loosened, topdressed, seeded and blended by hand, with the cause looked at so it does not simply come back.
What's Included
Our Process
Common Questions
Because something is causing them. Dog urine, a buried rock holding heat, grubs eating roots, deep shade where grass cannot sustain itself, or salt runoff from the driveway will all kill grass repeatedly in exactly the same spot. Until the cause is addressed, reseeding is an annual expense rather than a repair.
For a handful of discrete patches, yes, and it is often the sensible choice. But if the lawn is thin generally with several bare areas, a full aeration and overseeding usually gives a much better result for not much more money. We will tell you which one your lawn actually needs.
We can repair it, and it will die again if the dog keeps using the same patch. Honest answer: this is a management problem as much as a lawn problem. We will repair it and tell you what would keep it alive, rather than pretending seed is a solution to a recurring cause.
Three to four weeks to green up and most of a season to truly match the surrounding lawn in color and density. Repairs done in September blend in well by the following spring, which is another reason fall beats spring for this work.
