"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."

"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

The best time to plant grass seed depends on your local climate and whether you have cool-season or warm-season grass.

For cool-season grasses (like tall fescue), the ideal time to seed is late summer or early fall (typically August and September). During this period, the soil is still warm from the summer, but the air is cooler, creating optimal conditions for germination and root establishment before winter. There is also less competition from weeds. Spring is a secondary option, but cooler soil temperatures, the risk of a late frost, and less time for the grass to mature before summer heat can make it less successful.

For warm-season grasses (like St. Augustine), the best time to plant is from late spring through mid-summer (typically May and June), when temperatures are consistently between 75 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit.

In general, it is best to avoid seeding during winter or early spring, as cold soil and air can prevent seeds from germinating. For recommendations tailored to your specific grass type and climate, consider consulting a local lawn care professional.

It depends on the condition of the grass during the drought. If your grass completely died, it won’t turn green again after drought. However, if it just went dormant, you still have a chance to revive your lawn once drought conditions have passed. Follow proper lawn care practices after a drought to try and get your lawn back to its healthy, green self.

Soaking grass seeds in water before seeding is called pre-germinating. It’s not necessary but can be very helpful in some cases. Some grasses like are very slow to germinate, and basic seeding on the ground is unlikely to be effective—that’s especially true of cool season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass, rye grasses, and Bermuda grass. Soaking these seeds in a bag or bin of water for one to four days beforehand can give the grass the start it needs to survive.

Grass varieties such as tall fescue, zoysia, Bermuda, Bahia, and centipede grow best in sandy soil. These types of grass are drought resistant, so they help retain water and nutrients more easily. Consult a local lawn care company to determine the best type of grass to plant in your sandy lawn.

If it’s been a few weeks and you haven’t seen anything pop up, double-check your seed packet and make sure you didn’t miss any steps. Did they need cold stratification (putting seeds in the freezer and then transferring to water before planting)? Do they have an exceptionally long germination period? 

 If you’ve followed all of the directions closely, you may just have had a bad batch of seeds. (Sadly, it happens.)
