"Cipriano has been working with us for 7 years on maintaining our yard. He has a wealth of knowledge on plants, flowers, and trees. He landscaped our front and back yards, which included fencing and irrigation and drainage. When dealt with a problem he is able to provide workable ideas to solve it…which he has done several times for us. He has a “good eye” for what works best and a real passion for gardening and landscaping."

"It has been about 5 weeks now and the lawn looks great! Better than we had expected. All of our neighbors saw it looks really good. We would definitely hire again and recommend Conrad and his crew. They worked hard and did an excellent job."

"This is the second review I am writing for RainforestLA in reference to a second job they have just completed for my wife and I. We can now confidently say that our backyard is now the most aesthetically pleasing part of our house, as well as the most enjoyable part in which to spend time, thanks to the beautiful work done by Yosef and his guys at RainforestLA. They produced quality work quickly. As has been our experience, Yosef kept us up-to-date with daily progress reports. Because of our earlier experience with the company, we felt free to trust their suggestions and my wife and I are, once again, extremely grateful to RainforestLA for transforming our backyard into the perfect place to lounge. We plan on hiring them again, and cannot recommend enough."

"mY recent exemplary experience with this company warrants a very strong endorsement. Dealing with Diego Castenada, COO of Dario Landscaping was a rare treat in this era of unreliability and poor performance on representations. He is a very likable gentleman who was punctual, delivered comprehensive proposal in days as promised and proceeded to perform as promised. The job, a walled garden that included street exposure, was completed in the time projected by an excellent professional team and the finished product was exactly what we had in mind. All said, an enjoyable experience with an outstanding result."

"Antonio was professional and personable. My puppy had chewed through the wires that connected the backyard sprinklers to the controller in the garage. Antonio presented a creative solution to install a portable controller for the valves controlling the backyard sprinklers so that we didn’t have to break up concrete to put down new wires to connect to the controller in the garage. He also replaced the backyard valves, fixed a broken irrigation pipe, and replaced a number of broken sprinkler heads. Very pleased with his work."

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

Along with helping your grass grow in thicker and healthier, overseeding better equips it against hungry insects, common lawn diseases, drought, heavy foot traffic, and other foes that can weaken or kill the grass over time. By investing the extra time and money into overseeding, you’re lowering potential costs of fertilizer, pesticides, or possibly reseeding the lawn in the future.

The average cost to seed or reseed a lawn is about $1,100, with prices typically ranging from $450 to $1,700. The final cost depends on factors like your lawn size, the type of seed used, and local labor rates. On a per-square-foot basis, you can expect to pay between $0.10 and $0.20.

Here are some cost estimates based on lawn size:

  • 500 square feet: $50–$100

  • 2,000 square feet: $200–$400

  • 4,000 square feet: $400–$800

  • 5,000 square feet: $500–$1,000

  • 1 acre: $3,000–$5,880

  • 2 acres: $6,000–$11,760

  • 5 acres: $15,000–$17,640

Popular seed types for residential lawns include bahia, fescue, and Bermuda. Compared to installing sod, seeding is generally a less expensive option, especially for larger areas.

Additional services can add to the total cost:

  • Fertilization: $80–$400

  • Soil testing: $700–$2,100

  • Yard cleanup and leaf removal: $200–$560

  • Weed treatment: $110–$325

  • Mowing: $50–$210

Shade-tolerant grass seed still needs between four and six hours of sun to germinate, and many types require a little extra care to thrive. However, it is possible to plant new grass seed in shaded areas when you choose the right variety.

Even the most shade-tolerant turf grass needs at least three or four hours of full sunlight or a good amount of partial sunlight throughout the day. You might want to look at other gardening options for full shade, like plants that can survive in full shade, hardscaping, or structural architecture, to still get that yard of your dreams without compromising on your landscaping design. 

Due to its slow growth, Bahia grass does not generally take over weeds. In fact, the opposite can be true. Young Bahia grass is susceptible to being taken over by weeds. 

Likewise, in the cool season, Bahia grass goes into a dormant state that can allow weeds that thrive in early spring to get the upper hand. If you want to prevent weeds from taking over your yard, remove them by hand or apply a Bahia grass-friendly pre-emergent herbicide to your lawn before weeds have a chance to appear.
