"Excellent experience from start to finish. The landscaper, Noe, was easy to work with, provided a clear and detailed quote, and was able to fit us into the schedule right away. The crew was careful, methodical, and professional while replacing our grass with artificial turf. The project took three days, the work was done beautifully. I am very happy with the results and highly recommend them."

"Leo's Green Gardener got in touch with me promptly, came out the very next morning after we talked, and did a fine job. They repaired my drip irrigation system, added new emitters where needed, and reaimed my sprinkler heads. The work was done fast and the charge was reasonable. Overall, I had a great experience with them."

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

Bahia grass is not difficult to grow, but you might need patience for this slow-growing grass. Whereas some grass species, like Bermuda grass, can take 1 to 2 weeks to germinate, Bahia grass can take two or three times as long, making it seem like it won’t grow. But again, once your Bahia grass is established, it requires little maintenance. Its deep root system makes it a very durable grass that can bounce back after freezes and droughts. 

While hydroseeding is typically meant for bare soil, it is possible to hydroseed over an existing lawn with some adjustments. For the new seed to germinate and thrive, it needs good seed-to-soil contact. Without it, most of the seed may not take root and will die. To improve your chances of success when repairing a patchy area, mow any existing grass as low as possible and loosen any exposed soil before application. It is also recommended to use a finer mulch mixture when spraying, as this will help the seeds reach the soil and root without suffocating the existing grass.

Water daily, avoid heavy foot traffic, and mow when the grass reaches 3-4 inches.

Having a luscious lawn won’t take a century to grow with hydroseeding—most hydroseed lawns sprout within 7 to 14 days. Once the new grass is about 4 inches tall, which is about six weeks after the installation, it’s ready to mow. After the initial mow, keep foot traffic at a minimum for another four weeks to solidify the rooting system.

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.
