Our knowledgeable staff here at Garden-Ville are available to answer many of the questions you might have about gardens, landscaping, and trees. Many problems with plants, however, cannot be responsibly diagnosed other than in person. We're located in central Texas and may not be familiar with the details of gardening in very different climate or soil zones. One of the guiding principles of organic growing is adapting methods to the particularites of local soil and climate. With that in mind we'll do our best to answer your question, but if we can't we'll be happy to help you find the appropriate resources or professionals in your area.

Your sod will fill back in. How long it takes will depend on how large the dead spots are. Any spots the size of a sod square or smaller probably aren't worth re-sodding. Anything significantly larger than that may take more than a season to fill in completely, so you might want to stick a new square in the middle of those areas to fill it in faster. The best way to encourage the lawn to fill in quickly is to keep it healthy. We recommend spreading a 1/2" layer of organic compost over the entire lawn area right now (during the fall) to promote a healthy lawn the following year. This increases organic material in the lawn, provides essential nutrients, builds soil, and reduces watering requirements because the soil has more water retaining capacity.
