Dead lawn patches — Barcelona, Catalonia
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.
Waarom dit veel voorkomt in Barcelona
Barcelona's private gardens concentrate in the upper districts (Sarrià, Pedralbes) and the hillside Tibidabo belt, where terraced plots and Mediterranean planting require specialist care. Rooftop terraces (terrats) and balcony greening are common in the dense Eixample, and water-efficiency rules increasingly govern irrigation under Catalan drought planning.
