"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."

"Douglas does a quick and thorough job. My property is steep hills with poison oak and yellow jacket nests, but he didn't let that get in the way of doing a highly professional job. I'm grateful that I'm now ready for fire season and will have him back to do routine maintenance as things start growing back."

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

Whether or not grass will fill in bare spots itself depends on the type of grass you have. For example, grass with rhizomes (e.g., Bermuda grass) and stolons (e.g., Saint Augustine grass) will naturally fill in bald spots as it spreads laterally. However, clump-forming grasses will not spread. 

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.

Although these terms sound similar and are sometimes used interchangeably, overseeding and reseeding your lawn are very different processes. Overseeding, the simpler of the two, involves a few steps to restore thinned or patchy grass by raking, aerating, and seeding uneven areas of turf to promote regrowth.

Reseeding a lawn is a more drastic and involved process, often necessary if the lawn is diseased, more than a third dead, or very overgrown with weeds. Unlike overseeding, it requires removing most of the existing lawn and starting a new one from scratch, a much bigger and more time-consuming job.

The best time of year for power seeding depends on your local climate. The soil should be warm, but the air should be cool. If the weather gets too hot after you grow new grass seed, it can die off easily. The best time for power seeding warm-season grasses is late spring to summer, and the best time for power seeding cool-season grasses is in the fall.

Yes, in most cases, grass will return after your dog urinates on it. But without preventative measures, there’s always a chance your dog will pee on the grass again, leading to brown patches come summer. This aside, even if your grass is dead in patches, simply reseeding the dead spots should help restore your lawn. 

If you choose not to reseed your lawn, unaffected grass surrounding the dead patches will spread over any dead spots. But be prepared for this option to take longer—you likely won’t be able to grow grass fast.
