"Mike and his crew came out recently and installed our sprinklers system. They were extremely professional and you could barely tell they had even installed anything in our lawn. They left little or no mess behind and were extremely efficient. After the installation I had a couple minor issues but Mike was out the same day I contacted him and he quickly addressed them. I would highly recommend Four Seasons if you are looking to get a Sprinkler System Installed. Mike's customer service was excellent and so was the quality of his work!"

"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."

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

Depending on the species, most fescue grasses thrive in USDA hardiness zones 3 through 8, though some varieties can thrive as far as zone 10. While it’s a cool-season grass, it has the unique ability to adapt and thrive in many different types of climates. For this reason, you'll mostly find fescue grasses throughout the transitional temperature zones of the country.

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.

If the grass is dead, you cannot bring it back to life. However, you can grow new grass in its place or try the methods mentioned above to revive the grass if it isn’t entirely dead. You can expect St. Augustine grass to come back after moderate droughts, but it will suffer significant nutrient loss after an extended period of drought.

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

While hydroseeding is designed for bare soil, it is possible to apply it over an existing lawn with certain adjustments. For the new seed to be successful, it needs good seed-to-soil contact to germinate and take root. Without proper preparation, most of the new seed will fail to establish and will die. To hydroseed over existing grass, first mow the lawn as low as possible, then loosen and clear any exposed soil. It is also recommended to use a finer mulch mixture in the hydroseed spray, which helps the seeds penetrate the existing turf and reach the soil without suffocating the established grass.
