"While on vacation a pipe ruptured which sent a substantial amount of sooty water under our home slab and flooded our house. After the restoration company trenched the water main and irrigation pipes we identified a break in the main water line as the culprit. We had several companies come out and seeing our predicament tried to gouge us. On a whim I filled out a request on Home Advisor. Shortly after I received a call from Raul Jr Fernandez fron New Horizon Landscapping. To make a long story short, we agreed on a time for him to come out and confirm the scope of work and the effort needed. Raul arrived on time and was professional. Since the irrigation piping was uncovered, in addition to the broken water main pipe, I asked if he could replace my old irrigation controllers, some of the old irrigation pipes and sprinkler heads. Also install a shut off valve for the irrigation system where it tees of from the main water line. Raul provided an estimate that was more affordable than I was expecting. He arrived 2 days later as agreed upon on time. He completed the job in a timely manner, job site was clean and the work meet or exceeded expectations. Raul even did a few extra fixes with out charging me. The bill was exactly what he estimated and more affordable than other estimates I received over the phone. Raul was friendly, professional and kept the work site neat. I Definitely recommend Raul and wouldn’t hesitate for a second to rehire New Horizons Landscapping."

"Mike is amazing. He came by to give my husband and me an estimate and, a few days later, he was over to install our irrigation system at a very reasonable rate. He arrived right on time, both times. He was highly professional and knowledgeable, sharing his expertise by offering invaluable advice for our backyard project. He was a pleasure to do business with, and we highly recommend his services. Thank you, Tobyn and Nathalie! :)"

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

While it’s possible to grow grass seeds by throwing them down, this isn’t the best way to plant them. By amending and prepping the soil beforehand, you’re providing optimal contact between seed and soil for a better chance at germination. If you throw them down without preparing the soil beforehand, seeds are more likely to blow away, get eaten by hungry birds, or never grow.

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.

If your lawn and general landscape are struggling, consider calling a local landscape specialist to suggest lawn amendments, local plants, and hardscape changes to boost the long-term health of your outdoor space. While you may be able to take on small projects yourself—such as reseeding your lawn or testing the soil—a professional can help you build a plan to bring a struggling yard back to life quickly.

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. 

Services typically include mowing, edging, trimming, and debris cleanup. Additional options may consist of fertilization and weed control.
