"Crimson Bay did a beautiful job cleaning up my existing landscaping areas. They took out the old stones & washed them. They pulled up the old plastic & leveled out the ground underneath, removed moss from the concrete wall, added a weed deterrent, laid down new landscaping paper, & put the cleaned stones back & added edging. They were professional, polite, & worked diligently. I thought the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend them."

I have been in the industry for the last 9 years, and love everything I do. My own business just started 2 weeks ago as Rogans Contracting. We do a handful of projects from remodeling bathrooms, plumbing work, electrical work, landscaping, flooring, decks and patios, and many more. As a team we would love to get out and into the community a little more, hopefully you'll be the next one we get to meet.

"Responded to request right away by calling me and then came out to my home to assess my needs. Gave me literally five different options based on cost and different ways to irrigate my landscaping. Was awesome working with landscape and hardscape contractors and working with and around their schedule. Always returned my calls. Had great recommendations for other additions I did to my home, like when I installed a fountain, Brian ran a separate water line so the fountain would automatically fill. All around great experience, I will use him again as I do more landscaping and will recommend to friends."

"I'm glad I found them. I had been working with the people who originally installed my sprinkler system, and the pricing for flushing the pipes or minor adjustments to the sprinkler heads was getting way out of hand. Lawn Quenchers has reasonable pricing and good workmanship. I'll be using their services again in the Spring."

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

Power seeding can be worth it if your existing lawn is looking sparse or patchy. Power seeding can quickly and effectively plant new grass seeds and help grow a thicker lawn. But if your lawn is in pretty good health but could use a little more TLC through dethatching, fertilizing, weeding, or aerating, you may not need to spend money on power seeding costs.

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.

If you use a starter fertilizer designed for this purpose, you can overseed and fertilize at the same time. If you opt to use a fertilizer for established grass or one with a weed control component, it's best to wait at least four to eight weeks after seed application to allow the new grass to take hold and establish itself. 

Unfortunately, garages are one of the worst places to store grass seeds, despite their proximity to yards. Garages are hot and humid, two environmental traits that are detrimental to grass seeds. Grass seed has the best chance of survival in a dry space with temperatures ranging from 30 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit. 

With that in mind, the best place to store seeds is in a sealed container in the refrigerator or in the coolest part of your home. Also, limit your seeds’ access to sunlight for the best germination results down the line. 

The average cost to seed or reseed a lawn is about $1,100, with prices typically ranging from $450 to $1,700. The final cost depends on factors like your lawn size, the type of seed used, and local labor rates. On a per-square-foot basis, you can expect to pay between $0.10 and $0.20.

Here are some cost estimates based on lawn size:

  • 500 square feet: $50–$100

  • 2,000 square feet: $200–$400

  • 4,000 square feet: $400–$800

  • 5,000 square feet: $500–$1,000

  • 1 acre: $3,000–$5,880

  • 2 acres: $6,000–$11,760

  • 5 acres: $15,000–$17,640

Popular seed types for residential lawns include bahia, fescue, and Bermuda. Compared to installing sod, seeding is generally a less expensive option, especially for larger areas.

Additional services can add to the total cost:

  • Fertilization: $80–$400

  • Soil testing: $700–$2,100

  • Yard cleanup and leaf removal: $200–$560

  • Weed treatment: $110–$325

  • Mowing: $50–$210
