Complete Lawn Renovation — Out with the Old, In with the Green
About This Service
Is your Irving lawn more brown than green? Overrun with weeds? Patchy, thin, and embarrassing? Sometimes the best solution is not trying to nurse a dying lawn back to health — it is starting fresh with a complete lawn replacement. Irving Sod & Grass Installation specializes in full lawn renovation services that transform even the most neglected Irving yards into lush, thick, beautiful lawns that you will be proud to show off to your neighbors.
Our complete lawn replacement process addresses every factor that caused your old lawn to fail. We do not just slap new sod on top of old problems — we diagnose the underlying issues, whether that is compacted soil, poor drainage, wrong grass variety for your conditions, grub damage, or disease. Then we systematically correct each issue before installing premium sod that is specifically selected to thrive in your Irving property's unique conditions. The result is not just a new lawn — it is a fundamentally healthier growing environment that will support thick, green turf for years to come.
Lawn replacement is also the perfect opportunity to fix grading issues that cause water to pool near your foundation, address bare spots under trees by switching to shade-tolerant varieties, or upgrade from a high-maintenance grass to a more drought-tolerant option that saves water and reduces your Irving utility bills. Many homeowners are surprised to learn that replacing their lawn entirely costs less than years of treatments, overseeding, and repairs — and the results are dramatically better. Whether your yard is 1,000 square feet or 10,000, Irving Sod & Grass Installation has the equipment, experience, and sod sourcing relationships to handle your complete lawn renovation efficiently and affordably.
Why Choose Us
Here's why Irving homeowners trust Irving Sod & Grass Installation for their Lawn Replacement needs.
We do not just cover up problems — we identify and correct the soil compaction, drainage issues, and wrong grass varieties that caused your old Irving lawn to fail in the first place.
Lawn replacement is the perfect time to switch to a better-suited variety for your property. Move from high-maintenance grass to drought-tolerant options that save water and look better with less effort.
We re-grade your yard during replacement to ensure proper water flow away from your Irving home's foundation and eliminate low spots where water pools and breeds mosquitoes.
A complete lawn replacement removes the existing weed seed bank and gives your new sod a clean start. Combined with proper pre-emergent applications, your new lawn stays weed-free much longer.
Trying to fix a badly damaged lawn through overseeding, aeration, and treatments can take years. Complete replacement gives you a perfect lawn in one day, fully established in 4-6 weeks.
We till, test, and amend your Irving property's soil with compost, gypsum, and nutrients to break up clay, improve drainage, and create the ideal growing environment for your new sod.
Our Work
How It Works
We evaluate your current lawn's condition, test soil health, assess drainage patterns, and identify the root causes of decline. We then recommend the ideal replacement strategy for your Irving property.
We use commercial sod cutters to remove all existing grass, weeds, and thatch down to bare soil. The old turf is hauled away completely, leaving a clean slate for your new lawn.
We till to 4-6 inches, incorporate organic amendments and nutrients, correct any drainage or grading issues, and create a smooth, properly sloped surface ready for new sod installation.
Fresh, premium sod matched to your property's conditions is installed, rolled, and thoroughly watered. You receive a customized care guide for your new lawn's first critical weeks in Irving.
If more than 50% of your Irving lawn is dead, weedy, or bare — replacement is typically more cost-effective than renovation. Renovation (aeration, overseeding, treatments) works best when at least 50-60% of desirable grass is still present. Other signs you need replacement: the wrong grass type for your conditions, persistent drainage issues, or severe grub/disease damage that has destroyed the root system.
Complete lawn replacement in Irving typically runs $2.00-$3.50 per square foot, including old lawn removal, soil preparation, amendments, new sod, and installation. A typical 4,000 sq ft yard costs $8,000-$14,000. The higher cost compared to basic sod installation reflects the additional labor for removal, disposal, and soil correction work.
Most residential lawn replacements in Irving are completed in 2-3 days: Day 1 for old lawn removal and soil prep, Day 2 for sod installation. Larger properties or those requiring significant grading work may take 3-4 days. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
We haul away all old turf, weeds, and debris as part of our standard service. The removed material is composted at licensed facilities rather than sent to landfills. Your yard is left completely clean before soil preparation begins.
Absolutely — partial lawn replacement is a great option when only certain areas are damaged or when you want to switch to a shade-tolerant variety under trees while keeping your existing sun grass. We can seamlessly blend new sod with your existing lawn for a uniform appearance.
