"I highly recommend Glacier Irrigation, as Sam and his team have done an exceptional job installing a new sprinkler system on my extensive property spanning over 2 acres. The high-efficiency system they implemented ensures complete coverage and significantly reduces water consumption compared to my previous setup. Moreover, in addition to the sprinklers for the lawn, they expertly installed drip lines for both vegetable and non-vegetable plants. The project was executed professionally, adhering to the agreed schedule and budget. I wholeheartedly endorse Glacier Irrigation for its outstanding work."

"David and his son, David (Great Lawns Landscaping) upgraded a very old distribution box of our irrigation system, which was installed personally by a previous owner, so that it would operate like a brand new system. They took on a job that most irrigation contractors would only shake their heads. Not only did they intelligently determine how to make a tricky repair, but they did it right away at a very reasonable cost. They will be my first choice for irrigation issues in the future. I highly recommend them."

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

The amount of time it takes for grass to germinate varies depending on the grass species. Even after germination, it’s going to take a while to see grass blades start emerging from soil. Some grasses germinate quickly and emerge after several days of growth (and healthy watering). Others may take up to three weeks to show themselves. Cool-season grasses tend to take the longest to germinate at one month.

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.

First, you should figure out whether you have dormant or dead grass. Dead grass won’t come back, so you’ll have to reseed if you’re hoping for a lush lawn. However, grass can go dormant if it hasn’t received enough water or if temperatures are too cold. If it’s still decently warm outside, you can revive dormant grass by watering it. But if it’s mid-January in New England, for example, you’ll need to wait until the weather warms up again. If you want to keep grass green in winter, consider a grass like Kentucky bluegrass, which maintains its color year-round.

Fast-track your seeds to success by pre-soaking them for 24 hours in a shallow container filled with tap water. The water will penetrate the husk and moisten the embryos inside. After one day of soaking, sow the seeds in the soil. Never soak the seeds for more than one day (unless the specific variety calls for longer), as prolonged soaking could cause them to rot.

Mowing is one of the most important ways to maintain your lawn because it encourages grass to grow horizontally, creating a fuller, more uniform yard. On top of mowing your lawn, you’ll want to routinely fertilize your lawn, water it regularly, and take care of pests the moment they arise.
