"Jose was very good to work with. His people did a great job overhauling the landscaping on my entire 1/2 acre lot. They removed overgrown trees (including difficult stumps) and bushes leaving no trace they were ever there. They installed new sod in the back yard and planted new plants and ground cover all around the lot. I highly recommend Jose."

"Privado put in new sprinkler valves, a new control box, and drip irrigation for 12 potted plants. They also capped 7 buried sprinkler heads that were covered by the work of another contractor when we had our lawn replaced and crushed granite brought in to replace the back lawn. The work was done in a couple of days and was completed so neatly and the ground restored completely. I would not hesitate to recommend their work to anyone contemplating this type of job."

"Hector and Cynthia were awesome. Cynthia reached out lightning fast to follow up with my information request and Hector was about to come over shortly after that to inspect my yard and give me an estimate. He got my sprinkler system back up and running and also helped us with some landscaping of our shrubs in the front and the trimming of a tree that had far too much growth. I felt that the prices were reasonable and the work was top-notch and professional. Highly recommended!"

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

Sod is different from grass because it comes in thick layers of mature grass, roots, and soil for quick transportation and easy installation. This is different from seeding your lawn, which involves directly laying grass seeds into the ground. Grass seeds take approximately 30 days to begin germinating and up to 18 months to reach maturity, whereas sod comes ready to go.

When stored under ideal conditions, grass seed lasts anywhere from 10 to 18 months from the testing date without any real decrease in the germination rate. You can still use the seeds after this timeframe, but the germination rates drop 10% to 20% each year. 

If you’re just embarking on an overseeding project, using seeds that have been in storage for a few years isn’t too big of a deal. However, if you’re planning on redoing your entire landscape, your best bet for a healthy, luscious lawn is to use new seeds.

One of the most effective ways to improve lawn absorption is to learn how to aerate your lawn. This is a process where you poke tiny holes all throughout it to break up tough soil and sediment, creating pathways for sunlight, water, air, and nutrients to seep into the plant’s roots. In turn, it promotes stronger root systems, making your lawn or plants less susceptible to pests and disease. Ideally, you’ll want to aerate your lawn at least once per year during the growing season—think late summer to early fall. 

Always mow the lawn on a short setting when overseeding. The thinner coverage offers more space for the grass seed to take root in the soil. When reseeding a lawn, however, you may need to remove your old turf altogether.

Properly preparing the soil for planting grass seed may include applying fertilizer several weeks before spreading the seed if you plan to overseed the lawn. However, in most cases involving a brand-new lawn, spreading a starter fertilizer along with the grass seed will give it the best chance of taking root quickly and growing strong.
