"Shorescapes took a formally wooded area in my yard and transformed it to a green lawn. They added topsoil, planted seed and covered it with a seed mat . The grass grew well and I now have a beautiful green lawn."

"Value - A, Communication - D Short version: Chris Fox is great but I got frustrated with not knowing if/when he was coming. Details: Chris Fox designed and installed my irrigation 5 years ago and helped me get a well. I was very happy with everything and felt it was a good value. At that time, I rated his company as an "A" and recommended him to my neighbors. Since then he has been doing annual and ad hoc maintenance on the irrigation system he installed. My only issue has been communication. I leave voicemails that may or may not get answered with a call back. Chris may then show up without an appointment and try to do what is needed without talking to me, leaving a note, or leaving a voice mail. For my last inquiry, after my second voicemail, I got a voicemail response from a nice lady that said he had been here and did not see the issue. So is not that he isn't making the effort to do the requested work. Rather he does not tell me so I usually have no idea if he got the message, if/when he is planning to come. I would consider using Chris Fox again if he kept me better informed,"

"They arrived in the morning and was completed by the afternoon. The guys were very professional and polite. We had a pool in our backyard that was taken down and it was a huge sandpit. They removed the sand and added pea gravel and now we have a space to make into an outdoor sitting area."

"McGinnis was great and flexible with scheduling our service. They showed up on-time and remained true to their quote. They removed some old gravel/stone from our yard and laid down sod. Afterwards they maintained our irrigation system and everything is beautiful. My wife and I couldn't be happier!"

Lawn Irrigation FAQs, answered by experts

Whether you’re putting down fresh seed or reseeding, there are a few things to keep in mind when seeding your lawn. Be sure to choose the correct seed for your climate, seed at the right time of year, and water two to three times a day for the first week. Generally, Dudley recommends seeding in spring and fall as it is usually cooler and rainier.

Shade-tolerant grass seed still needs between four and six hours of sun to germinate, and many types require a little extra care to thrive. However, it is possible to plant new grass seed in shaded areas when you choose the right variety.

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. 

The best hardiness zones for St. Augustine grass are USDA growing zones 8, 9, and 10. However, with a bit of extra attention, it'll also grow well in zones 7, 11, and 12.

Buffalo grass spreads through both underground roots and above-ground stolons. The widespread root and stolon system makes up for this grass’s overall lack of density. It’s a hearty grass, so it spreads on its own slowly, especially considering that most of the male (no staminate) varieties of grass are sterile. You may think about over-maintaining your lawn to encourage growth, but this would have the opposite effect.
