Q: Do I need to aerate my lawn before seeding?

• <div><p>Aerating a lawn before seeding it or adding new grass seed is a smart decision. By loosening up compact soil and allowing it to take in more air and water, your seeds will have an easier time establishing roots and growing. Aerating beforehand also means your seeds will have better contact with the soil, so more of your seeds have a chance to germinate. If you do plan to aerate your lawn before seeding, aerate about two days before you plan to start seeding.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between overseeding and power seeding?

• <div><p>Overseeding typically involves spreading grass seed either manually or with a machine that sprays the grass seed out and onto the soil. With overseeding, the grass seeds sit on the soil, and some may fall deeper into the soil if you aerated beforehand. With power seeding, a machine cuts narrow rows into the soil and pushes the grass seeds directly into the soil.</p></div>

Q: What types of grass seeds are available?

• <div><p>Common options include Kentucky bluegrass, fescue, and ryegrass. Choose based on climate and lawn usage.</p></div>

Q: Should you fertilize new grass seed?

• <div><p>Yes, but the best approach is to apply fertilizer well before you actually sprinkle the seeds. Apply fertilizer with an NPK ratio somewhere around 10-10-20, or 10-10-10, depending on soil test results and the type of grass you're planting, about six to eight weeks before planting grass seed. This mix added to loosened soil will give the grass seed its best chance of getting off to a solid start. </p></div>

Q: Do lawn care or mowing companies need to be licensed?

• <div><p>In most municipalities, lawn care and mowing companies require at least a business license to operate legally. However, requirements can vary by location, and some areas mandate that landscaping companies be licensed, insured, and bonded, or even hold a general contractor license. Before hiring any lawn service, confirm they are fully insured. This protects you from liability for injuries on your property and also protects the company's employees. You can use Angi's state license lookup tool to verify a company's licensing status in your area.</p></div>

"Brad Sayre Landscape Services far exceeded my expectations in every way! For starters, Brad came in with a knowledgeable presence and helpful attitude informing me I had some problematic drainage issues in my backyard. Not only did his team address this and install my irrigation & sod project, they did both for a very reasonable fee. Super professional, very helpful, friendly crew. Customer service far exceeds the numerous other landscapers I had by for a quote who didn't even acknowledge the drainage issue. Have already recommended them to my mom as well as friends and colleagues. A++++ service. Will definitely hire them again with any future landscaping projects (and perhaps monthly maintenance!) Don't bother wasting your time and energy contacting anyone else and just hire Brad Sayre Landscape Services."

"Cinthya's Landscaping came by to provide an estimate for repairing our drip irrigation system. They quickly discovered that the drip emitters were all installed backwards when the system was installed two years ago. The emitters had worked backwards for a while but that error caused them to eventually fail. I happily payed them a small amount for coming out and finding what was wrong with the system and turned them all around myself. Cinthya and Manny were very professional and a pleasure to work with."
