Without seeing your lawn, I’d say you haven’t done any serious damage and you likely don’t need new sod. They will keep coming and spreading as long as it’s treated correctly; watering, fertilizing, proper mowing, weeding, etc.

Keep in mind that those “string of lights” you have pulled up are how this grass grows and thrives.
Thank you for your input, any suggestions for weed / insect control and fertilizer .
