Dead lawn patchesMadrid, Madrid

Brown or bare patches in your lawn can result from grub damage, fungal disease, pet urine, compacted soil, or improper watering. A landscaper can test the soil, treat the underlying cause, and reseed or resod the affected areas to bring your lawn back to life.

Why this is common in Madrid

Madrid's hot-dry summers and cold winters demand drought-tolerant, frost-hardy planting, and water-efficiency rules under regional drought planning increasingly govern irrigation. Private gardens concentrate in the northern suburbs and the chalet belts (La Moraleja, Pozuelo), generating significant pruning, irrigation, and seasonal maintenance demand.
