"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."

"Great Lawns did an excellent job on my sprinkler repair job. David came out to view the problem, diagnosed the problem and gave me a quote to do the repair. I hired Great lawns and set a date for them to come out and do the repair. David and a helper showed up on the agreed on date and proceeded to do the work, it was a pleasure to watch them do the work, yes I watched them every step of the way. They expertly repaired the leak, it was a leaking main valve to my sprinkler system, which was 6 feet underground where it connected to my homes main water line. David made the repairs, tested everything and filled in the hole, which was 5 feet by 5 feet by 6 feet deep. It was amazing to watch an expert work. I would hire David and Great Lawns again in a New York minute, the work was excellent and the cost was very fair. A job very well done!"

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

If thrown on the ground and left, some Bermuda seeds will sprout on the surface, but you will have a diminished germination rate. It’s best to cultivate the area before spreading the seeds for optimal results. Rake the area first and then evenly distribute the Bermuda seeds. Cover the space with about ¼ inch of soil before watering the area.

Common options include Kentucky bluegrass, fescue, and ryegrass. Choose based on climate and lawn usage.

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.

If your grass is stressed from being over-trimmed, try watering it heavily and then allowing it to recover for at least two weeks before mowing again. If you notice brown patches where the grass has died off because it’s too short, you should remove the dead grass and overseed the area. Leaving dead patches can invite weeds and other problems, so if you want a totally green lawn, getting rid of dead patches should include removing the dead sections before reseeding the area.

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.
