A Yard Built For Play Again
The Maple Street family had stopped using their backyard: thin turf, bare goal-mouth patches, and a soggy corner that never dried. They wanted a lawn kids and a dog could actually play on.
We renovated the full 4,000 sq ft — stripping failed turf, regrading the wet corner, and laying fresh sod over amended soil, then coached the family through the first six weeks of watering.
- Full tear-out and soil amendment
- Regraded wet corner with drainage
- Kid- and pet-tough sod blend
Fixing Water Before Grass
The soggy corner was the real villain — seed and sod had failed there twice before. Our soil probe found compacted clay holding water a few inches down.
We regraded the corner to daylight, added a simple dry-well, and blended compost deep into the whole profile. Only then did sod go down — and it rooted in under three weeks.
