Maple Street Family Lawn

A patchy, worn-out yard reborn as thick, kid-proof turf — full renovation, regrade, and fresh sod in one season.

Overview

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.

Challenge & Approach

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.
