"Victor was the most professional company that came to give me a bid. He was the only one who gave me a detailed written estimate. He took the time to completely ck my sprinklers made sure of what exactly needed to be repaired or replaced. Planted new flowers, plants & transplanted for me. All new soil where needed. The price was good. I would have been disappointed with any other company. He's charged me a good price for my monthly service. I will only hire him to do the back 1/2 acre. I highly recommend his service."

"The project went great! Sebastian was amazing. He and his guys transformed our yard to something beautiful. They cleaned up the whole hill side (removing all the weeds) , added compost, and planted new plants over the entire area. They also replaced our irrigation valves and repaired all of the sprinklers that needed it. They cleaned up other parts of the yard and mulched everything. It looks amazing!! So lucky I found them!!"

"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."

"I received a phone call within minutes of requesting a quote. Mr. Ruiz came out the same day (Sunday). Showed him the problem on the surface. (Which was an irrigation problem) .He had to dig up some dirt and found the issue. After getting the parts to fix the problem, he showed up the next morning and not only did he complete the requested job. He fixed some wires someone else had cut doing another job. I was manually turning on the sprinklers and using the hose to water the grass. He looked at all my sprinkler heads. He set up the timer on the sprinkler system to ensure my system was working perfectly. The PRICE was RIGHT!! I was holding my breath on how much this would cost. After I paid for the services, I went inside and did a happy dance. I have funds left over to order take out for dinner. I also found out that he provides other lawn services like installing artificial turf and retaining walls. I will definitely hire again. I also appreciated that Mr. Ruiz wore a mask during this uneasy time. (Covid-19)"

"Jacob was very professional. He would update me and let me know when they would be there to start the job and when the job would be completed, they took down both trees I asked for and left my property in good shape. I would definitely hire him again if I had trees to be removed."

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

Morning and late afternoon are the best times for watering new grass seed. The seed gets a healthy balance of water and sunlight, and the excess water evaporates. If you water the grass long after the sun goes down, the air is too cold, and there's no sun to make excess water evaporate. This keeps the grass damp for too long, increasing the chances of over-watering.

Even the most shade-tolerant turf grass needs at least three or four hours of full sunlight or a good amount of partial sunlight throughout the day. You might want to look at other gardening options for full shade, like plants that can survive in full shade, hardscaping, or structural architecture, to still get that yard of your dreams without compromising on your landscaping design. 

Choosing between sod and seed depends on your budget, timeline, and maintenance preferences.

Sod:

  • Pros: Provides an instant, lush lawn and immediate curb appeal. It's more resistant to weeds and erosion, can be installed any time during the growing season, and offers a consistent appearance.

  • Cons: Has a higher upfront cost, typically $0.90 to $1.80 more per square foot than seed. It offers fewer grass varieties and must be installed immediately upon delivery.

Seed:

  • Pros: Less expensive upfront, making it a budget-friendly option. It offers a wider variety of grass types and is easier for a DIY installation.

  • Cons: Takes much longer to establish, potentially up to two years for a full lawn. It requires more maintenance, including regular weed control, and is more difficult to cultivate.

Ultimately, if you want a beautiful lawn quickly and have a larger budget, sod is an excellent choice. If you are patient, want to save money, and prefer a wider selection of grass types, seeding may be the better option.

The best time to plant grass seed depends on your local climate and whether you have cool-season or warm-season grass.

For cool-season grasses (like tall fescue), the ideal time to seed is late summer or early fall (typically August and September). During this period, the soil is still warm from the summer, but the air is cooler, creating optimal conditions for germination and root establishment before winter. There is also less competition from weeds. Spring is a secondary option, but cooler soil temperatures, the risk of a late frost, and less time for the grass to mature before summer heat can make it less successful.

For warm-season grasses (like St. Augustine), the best time to plant is from late spring through mid-summer (typically May and June), when temperatures are consistently between 75 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit.

In general, it is best to avoid seeding during winter or early spring, as cold soil and air can prevent seeds from germinating. For recommendations tailored to your specific grass type and climate, consider consulting a local lawn care professional.

Yes, orchard grass is a perennial weed that will come back each spring. However, if you maintain a healthy, dense lawn in the spring, orchard grass will not have as much space to flourish. Remove signs of the weed early in the spring season whenever possible.
