"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

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.

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

Instant greenery, erosion control, and no waiting for germination make sod a preferable choice.

Due to its slow growth, Bahia grass does not generally take over weeds. In fact, the opposite can be true. Young Bahia grass is susceptible to being taken over by weeds. 

Likewise, in the cool season, Bahia grass goes into a dormant state that can allow weeds that thrive in early spring to get the upper hand. If you want to prevent weeds from taking over your yard, remove them by hand or apply a Bahia grass-friendly pre-emergent herbicide to your lawn before weeds have a chance to appear.

Power seeding and aeration are both excellent ways to improve lawn health, but they serve different functions. Aeration focuses on improving soil health by creating channels that allow more water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide to reach the roots. In contrast, power seeding is a method of planting grass seeds, often by creating narrow trenches in the soil. One service isn't better than the other; they are complementary. It is beneficial to aerate your lawn before power seeding, as this makes the seeding more effective by helping the germinating seeds access the resources they need. It's a good practice to aerate your lawn once or twice a year, regardless of whether you plan to power seed.
