"We recently purchased our first home and have worked with alot of vendors since then...working with Gilbert on our irrigation and drip project was by far one of our best experiences. He is trustworthy, did the work well, on time and at good cost (with no hidden fees). I would recommend his services to anyone and will work with him again on any future projects."

Customers say: Quality work

"Several months ago I hired a contractor to fix my sprinkler system, and that person created a nightmare of leaky hoses all around in a big knot. Thank goodness for Raul from 916 Irrigation...I had a sense right away he could be trusted and knows what he is doing. He did not disappoint. I had such a mess that it required digging up concrete and redoing the entire valve system. The pricing was fair, the job was done quickly, and the sprinkler system works again. I can now begin to water my lawn automatically, and the area looks so much better. Raul put the equipment below ground, with a nice cover over it. So it functions better, but also looks SO much better. I could not be happier with the job done. I tried to get quotes from other companies, but they wrote back to me long after I had hired 916 Irrigation. Raul was excellent at communicating which is really important to me when I'm having work done. I hope you will hire Irrigation 916, and I believe you will be quite pleased you did! All the debris was cleaned up, and he went the extra mile of moving one of my sprinklers at no additional cost, to prevent a vehicle from being ruined by water. Need some work done? Better call Raul!"

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

The amount of time it takes for grass to germinate varies depending on the grass species. Even after germination, it’s going to take a while to see grass blades start emerging from soil. Some grasses germinate quickly and emerge after several days of growth (and healthy watering). Others may take up to three weeks to show themselves. Cool-season grasses tend to take the longest to germinate at one month.

When stored under ideal conditions, grass seed lasts anywhere from 10 to 18 months from the testing date without any real decrease in the germination rate. You can still use the seeds after this timeframe, but the germination rates drop 10% to 20% each year. 

If you’re just embarking on an overseeding project, using seeds that have been in storage for a few years isn’t too big of a deal. However, if you’re planning on redoing your entire landscape, your best bet for a healthy, luscious lawn is to use new seeds.

Professional lawn care can increase your home’s value, as it beautifies your exterior and improves curb appeal. Potential buyers who pull up to a house that looks neat and clean will get a great first impression, and savvy buyers will know that a well-maintained exterior is probably indicative of proper care for other things, like electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems. Ultimately, a lawn that’s professionally cared for can boost your home’s appearance and lead buyers to offer more for your house.

Like most plants, the seeds need water, optimal temperature, sunlight, and oxygen. Each variety of grass seed will have slightly different needs—higher or lower temperatures, for instance—so pick one that syncs up with your home’s climate and the time you wish to plant. Take a look at the 10-day forecast to ensure there won’t be a major rainstorm.

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
