"William installed a new sprinkler system in my front and rear yard. He also seeded the areas needed for new grass, added decorative rocks, and mulch in places we requested. The price for all we had done was lower than expected, and very competitive with other estimates i received from other landscaping companies. He is very professional, and a great person to reach out to if you need landscaping done at your residence. You will not be disappointed with the end result!!!"

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

No—in fact, it can be beneficial to your lawn if you maintain a routine. By flipping blades of grass in the opposite direction, you’re allowing that side to absorb more sunlight than it normally would. Alternating the mowing directions will help your grass gather sunlight more evenly over time, leading to a more vibrant and healthy lawn. 

Yes, it's common for lawns to look bare after dethatching. Dethatching brings soil to the surface to create a "bald" look on your lawn. While you may choose to patch or reseed your lawn if bare patches seem excessive, it's normal for a lawn to look bare after dethatching. With the layer of debris that was blocking water, nutrients, and air from reaching your grass now gone, your lawn is likely to grow better than ever.

In general, cool-season grasses such as fescue grass, ryegrass, and Kentucky bluegrass are best for creating a striped lawn. Warm-season grasses like bermuda and zoysia grass don't curl as much, so grass stripes aren't as easy to see. If you live in a climate that’s better suited for warm-season grass, zoysia grass will typically be your best option.

To prepare your lawn for core aeration, water it the day before you aerate. (Alternatively, you can wait until it rains and aerate the following day.) Aerating after watering or a rainy day will make the process easier since you can penetrate moist soil better than dry soil. You should also flag your sprinklers so that you don’t accidentally hit them while aerating. If you have a lot of thatch buildup in your yard, you might need to dethatch your lawn before aerating as well.

Stick to your watering schedule. As long as new grass is getting plenty of water from irrigation, it shouldn’t need watering right after you cut it. Watch for signs like yellowing grass that shows a new lawn isn’t getting enough water and needs more regular irrigation. If you want to water after mowing, wait until the afternoon. Hot, direct sunlight can scorch grass more easily when it’s wet, so it’s better to wait until the day has cooled off.
