OR SHOULD I JUST INSTALL NEW SOD?

Answer 1

Before you spend the extra money for sod get some Shultz Iron Green. You can get it at lowes or home depot, it is in a bottle that attaches to your garden hose. Just hook it up and turn on the water and spray on all the spots that are bad. It works well as long as you are getting enough water to your lawn. It works on mine. If it works on yours you will save a lot, if not, you only spent about $10 for 2 bottles. Good luck.

Answer 2

Install new sod or get weed and feed
