"Glacier Irrigation went above and beyond to install a new 11 head 2 zone irrigation system with a Rachio timer. This was a new instal that required piping ran in the house to the main line. Sam, the owner, used the best available equipment to instal the lines outside so they did not tear up the grass like all other installers would do. He uses high efficient sprinkler heads to get proper coverage without eating into the monthly water bill. Sam has an excellent plumber, Liberty, who he uses to complete any of the plumbing that needs to be done from the house to outside. The best part of Glacier irrigation is the communication you will receive from Sam. So many companies don't answer their calls, but he is responsive and quick to give an appraisal. I will continue to recommend Glacier irrigation to anyone looking for their lawn to come back to life."

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

If you’re wondering whether grass seed will germinate on top of soil, the answer is yes. In fact, it’s the best way to plant your grass seed. Spread seeds in an even layer on top of loose, fertile soil will allow them to germinate and grow strong roots. Topping them with a thin layer of straw will help them retain moisture and stay put, as well as protect them from getting eaten by animals.

Having a luscious lawn won’t take a century to grow with hydroseeding—most hydroseed lawns sprout within 7 to 14 days. Once the new grass is about 4 inches tall, which is about six weeks after the installation, it’s ready to mow. After the initial mow, keep foot traffic at a minimum for another four weeks to solidify the rooting system.

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

Too much clover in your lawn can indicate several issues with your soil. Clover can thrive in soils with abnormally high pH, low-cut grass, and low nitrogen. Amending these issues can push clover out for good.

Hardy perennial clover loves the low nitrogen and compact conditions that often come with poor, infertile soils. But other factors also contribute to a clover explosion, including drought conditions, cool temperatures, under fertilization, and over-irrigation. You’ll need to evaluate all these elements when planning to kill off the clover.

Seeding a lawn offers several advantages over laying sod, primarily related to cost and variety. Seeding is less expensive upfront, making it a more budget-friendly option. It also provides a much broader selection of grass varieties, allowing you to choose the best type for your specific climate and soil. Additionally, seeding allows grass roots to establish directly in the native soil, and the installation process is typically less labor-intensive than sodding. However, it's important to consider that sod offers better immediate protection against weeds and erosion.
