"Mike and his crew did a great job. He came in with the best price and got the job done as scheduled. I was amazed at how good a condition the lawn was in after they completed the installation. I was very happy with the results and would highly recommend them"

"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."

"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."

"The guys from Brison (3 of them) exceeded my requirements, not only did they level the lawn, they removed all the vines from the house, fence and trees as well as mowing the backyard and bagged and removed ALL the debris. I give them my highest recommendation and my greatest thanks."

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.

The time you should wait before walking on new grass depends on whether you used seed or sod. If you laid new grass seed, it's best to wait about eight weeks before stepping on it, as new grass is fragile. For sod, it typically establishes itself in the ground in about two weeks. For heavy traffic, like driving a car across a new grass driveway, you might need to wait an entire season.

Wait at least three weeks after overseeding ryegrass before breaking out the lawn mower. Mowing sooner will tear up much of the delicate, newly seeded ryegrass as it won't have established strong roots to anchor it yet.

No, watering dead grass will not bring it back to life. If the grass on your lawn is truly dead, no amount of water will bring it back to life. However, some methods can bring dying grass back to life. Consider aerating, overseeding, or analyzing your soil to get to the root of why the grass is dying. 

Choosing between sod and seed depends on your budget, timeline, and maintenance preferences.

Sod:

  • Pros: Provides an instant, lush lawn and immediate curb appeal. It's more resistant to weeds and erosion, can be installed any time during the growing season, and offers a consistent appearance.

  • Cons: Has a higher upfront cost, typically $0.90 to $1.80 more per square foot than seed. It offers fewer grass varieties and must be installed immediately upon delivery.

Seed:

  • Pros: Less expensive upfront, making it a budget-friendly option. It offers a wider variety of grass types and is easier for a DIY installation.

  • Cons: Takes much longer to establish, potentially up to two years for a full lawn. It requires more maintenance, including regular weed control, and is more difficult to cultivate.

Ultimately, if you want a beautiful lawn quickly and have a larger budget, sod is an excellent choice. If you are patient, want to save money, and prefer a wider selection of grass types, seeding may be the better option.
