Now Is the Time to Repair Shade Damaged Spots in Your Lawn
Why Shade Damage Happens
If you’ve noticed weak or bare spots in your lawn, especially in areas that don’t get much sunlight, you’re not alone. Many homeowners struggle to maintain healthy grass in shady areas. The good news is, there are effective ways to repair shade damaged spots and restore your lawn’s lush appearance.
The Best Solution: Palmetto Grass
At Houston Grass, we recommend Palmetto St. Augustine grass for those looking to repair shade in their yards. Unlike Raleigh St. Augustine, which needs six to seven hours of direct sunlight, Palmetto does fine with just four to five hours. This makes it the ideal choice for repairing shade-damaged areas where other grasses struggle.
Limited-Time Offer: Palmetto by the Piece
During the spring, we offer Palmetto by the 16 by 24 inch piece, perfect for patching up small, weak spots without buying a full pallet. However, as temperatures rise, it becomes harder to keep Palmetto fresh for sale by the piece. Demand is also lower due to the higher cost compared to Raleigh, so this offer is only available for a short time each year.
How to Identify and Repair Shade Damaged Spots
To repair shade in your lawn, start by identifying the problem areas. Take photos every hour through the day to see which spots get at least four hours of sunlight but less than six. Once you’ve found the weak spots, pick up Palmetto pieces from Houston Grass and install them as you would with any new sod—just water them in well.
Don’t Wait—Repair Shade Now!
This is likely the last month to get Palmetto by the piece until next spring. Don’t miss your chance to repair shade damaged spots and enjoy a beautiful, healthy lawn all year long.
