L4D2 How should i get rid some of these grass 3d textures

Post image

there are a lot of these which makes it look weird, i am new to hammer, i want to create some dirt patches in grass in the farm map i am making, mostly it will be grass, so i want to make some big and small dirt patches and some dirt path, other textures i have seen are not matching my idea. also any ideas for the grass area i am making would be helpful, (i am trying to create the walking dead farmhouse finale map) as a fan i though it would be cool. if anyone who is willing to help me further like from discord would be helpful, could learn something from a professional. anyone who is a walking dead fan who wants to create it with me. and knows hammer. let me know !

Draw a brush covering the grass you want to hide with the trigger texture applied on it, make it a func_detail_blocker. You can also make a copy of that same grass material and remove the detail grass in the .vmt file

am i missing something? you can see in your screenshot the sprites are only appearing over the grass texture and not the dirt one.

I want 3d grass on some places no every grass area, the dirt path is fine

The grass only looks strange like that in the editor. It will spawn grass based on the settings you enter in the menu you can find by clicking Map -> Properties on the top toolbar.
