A patchy, uneven, or thinning lawn isn’t just an eyesore—it’s a sign your turf needs help. Whether it’s the result of pet damage, soil issues, poor drainage, or just time, proper lawn repair and lawn renovation services can bring back the lush green space you miss. At Ground Up Services, we specialize in diagnosing yard problems and delivering lasting, professional solutions across the Portland Metro area.
What’s the Difference Between Lawn Repair & Renovation?
While many use the terms interchangeably, there’s a key distinction:
-
Lawn repair focuses on localized fixes—think pet spots, small dead patches, or mower scalps. It’s great for healthy lawns that just need a few touch-ups.
-
Lawn renovation services, on the other hand, involve larger-scale fixes like dethatching, aeration, full reseeding, and addressing underlying issues like soil compaction.
Depending on the state of your lawn, we may recommend one or both services. At Ground Up Services, our experts will assess your lawn and provide a clear plan based on what it actually needs—not a one-size-fits-all service.
Common Causes of Lawn Damage
Knowing what caused your lawn to deteriorate helps prevent future issues. Some of the most common culprits we see include:
-
Heavy foot traffic or pet urine
-
Poor drainage or compacted soil
-
Insect or grub damage
-
Drought stress and irregular watering
-
Incorrect mowing height or frequency
-
Lack of nutrients or imbalanced pH
Regardless of the cause, our lawn repair services are designed to address the root of the problem—not just the surface symptoms.
