"Jose and Saul are not your average landscapers. They are well versed in landscape design, cement work, plant and legume knowledge, construction and property management. They have been in my employ for over twenty years. They are friendly, bilingual and timely in their appointments. I highly recommend Sola de La Vega!"

"We actually hired them to repair our sprinkler system. We had another company from Home Advisor tell us they had no idea what the problem was. Brian came in, identified the problem, repaired it and installed a new sprinkler system. Our sprinklers now cover the entire lawn! Brian contacted us promptly, arrived on time, got the job done on time and his price was very reasonable. I will contact him again if we ever have any other issues in our yard. He was great!! Hire him, you will not be disappointed!!"

"Carlos is a delightful person who is willing to work collaboratively and creatively. His rates are very reasonable and he is good at helping you fit your dream into your budget. He has a little trouble staying on top of complex work, especially when it involves subcontractors, but the wait is worth it. We are more than pleased with the extensive work he did for us and our landscaping is the envy of the neighborhood."

"We thoroughly enjoyed working with this company for our turf repair project. They got us in weeks ahead of schedule as they knew time was an issue for our busy daycare. They came up with a plan to fix the seams and clumping issues in our turf that we just had installed by another company. They made the most of a tough project and were able to provide us with a playground surface our littles will be able to use for years to come. The guys are fun to work with and Dawn is a problem solver. I can’t recommend them enough."

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

If the grass is dead, you cannot bring it back to life. However, you can grow new grass in its place or try the methods mentioned above to revive the grass if it isn’t entirely dead. You can expect St. Augustine grass to come back after moderate droughts, but it will suffer significant nutrient loss after an extended period of drought.

Unfortunately, no. Grass seeds need a lot of moisture until they become sprouts, so this is an especially sensitive time. While they'll dry out if they get dehydrated, over-watering creates other problems. The grass seeds don't recover because they can just wash away or even rot, making for low germination rates. The ones that do germinate after being pushed under the soil may start to sprout only to die from lack of sunlight.

There are several best practices you can do to keep your lawn looking healthy. Knowing when to water grass is among the most important. Having your sprinkler timer set to early morning is best because it gives your grass and plants enough time to absorb water before the sun and wind can evaporate it. To maximize a sprinkler’s impact, aerate your lawn once or twice per year. Doing this achieves better absorption and stronger root systems for your grass.

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.

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.
