"Chad, of "SD's Finest Landscaping" did a great job in fixing and adjusting my total lawn and garden irrigation system. Their pricing was fair, given the amount of work involved. I will certainly go back to them for any future outdoor landscaping and irrigation projects. I interviewed other landscaping services; "SD's Finest Landscaping" was, by far, the best in terms of quality and price."

"Had them come out for an estimate of reworking my irrigation, trimming and possibly landscaping (I already had a landscaper). Showed up on the day stated, on time and got after it! Got my irrigation repaired for less than other estimates, with practices that will save me money and hired them for follow-on landscaping that surprisingly came in under what I was paying for lesser service. I highly recommend Ed and his team. They rock!"

"Artistic Solutions replaced a back yard leaking 40 year old 3/4 inch irrigation valve and corroded cast iron pipes with the latest PVC replacement parts. The problem was fixed, and they did a good job. The sprinkler system works fine without leaks."

"I needed my irrigation system updated before the hot weather sets in. I met with Stephen from Scott's Landscaping on Wednesday, May 21st, and discussed what I needed done. Stephen started work on Thursday, the 22nd. He did a phenomenal job, and left the job site very clean. I am very happy with all aspects of the irrigation overhaul. I would definitely recommend Scott's Landscaping and would hire them again in the future."

Lawn Irrigation FAQs, answered by experts

Germination varies with grass type and climate, generally taking 7 to 21 days. Full lawns develop over a few months.

Provided you're using an appropriate starter fertilizer for grass seed, you can put down seeds and fertilizer at the same time. However, putting them down separately, one after the other, on the same day will help to avoid over- or under-applying the lawn food. Avoid using a fertilizer with weed control elements, as these will likely keep the grass seeds from starting.  

Make your ryegrass thicker by boosting soil health. Add organic matter, aerate the lawn if the soil is compacted, fertilize appropriately, and see if your lawn needs dethatching. Your local lawn care service can come and look at your lawn and provide specific advice and remedies for your lawn issues.

The time you should wait before walking on new grass depends on whether you used seed or sod. If you laid new grass seed, it's best to wait about eight weeks before stepping on it, as new grass is fragile. For sod, it typically establishes itself in the ground in about two weeks. For heavy traffic, like driving a car across a new grass driveway, you might need to wait an entire season.

Soaking grass seeds in water before seeding is called pre-germinating. It’s not necessary but can be very helpful in some cases. Some grasses like are very slow to germinate, and basic seeding on the ground is unlikely to be effective—that’s especially true of cool season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass, rye grasses, and Bermuda grass. Soaking these seeds in a bag or bin of water for one to four days beforehand can give the grass the start it needs to survive.
