"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!"

"I couldn't be more happy with how my landscape project turned out! The team at Rocky Mountain Landscape were easy to communicate with, punctual and professional. They also made it easy as a 'one stop shop', performing concrete, fencing, irrigation and landscaping! My yard looks fantastic and the quality of work is top notch. I can't wait to use them for phase two of my landscaping project."

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

The best grass type for shady areas depends on your region, your preferences, and your yard’s microclimate. Overall, the best cool-season grass for shade is ryegrass or tall fescue, while the best warm-season grass for shade is St. Augustine. But again, this can depend on what you’re looking for in the grass. The best grass for your shady yard might be one that looks good to you, one that tolerates high foot traffic, or grass with other characteristics that make it fit your lawn needs. 

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.

While hydroseeding is typically meant for bare soil, it is possible to hydroseed over an existing lawn with some adjustments. For the new seed to germinate and thrive, it needs good seed-to-soil contact. Without it, most of the seed may not take root and will die. To improve your chances of success when repairing a patchy area, mow any existing grass as low as possible and loosen any exposed soil before application. It is also recommended to use a finer mulch mixture when spraying, as this will help the seeds reach the soil and root without suffocating the existing grass.

Water the lawn thoroughly, apply fertilizer, and overseed if necessary to promote healthy growth.

Both zoysia grass and bermuda grass are somewhat similar to St. Augustine because they’re all warm-season grasses. Beyond that, most grass types have unique properties that set them apart. Zoysia grass costs twice the price of St. Augustine grass on average and it has thinner blades and a deeper green appearance. Bermuda grass, compared to St. Augustine, has much thinner blades, is softer to the touch, and has a higher tolerance for colder weather.
