"Josh has been out to my house a few times now and does a great job each time. The first was about a year ago where he re-routed our sprinkler system to provide better coverage and connected it to city water after our well dried up. We haven't had any issues with our sprinkler zones since and the lawn looks great now. The second time he came to fix a broken pipe and also dug out our sprinkler heads after the sod had grown over them. Once again, he did a fantastic job. Both times he was communicative, on time, and gave us a fair price for good work. Mac is my go-to for irrigation services. Thanks, Josh!"

"Will and his team were very polite and respectful! They arrived on time and got right to work on our lawn. We had several steps involved in putting down new sod , (Provista),removing the old lawn, prepping the lawn and sprinkler system, delivery of new sod. Will kept us informed of every step as they went along. Our lawn looks beautiful and they did an excellent job from start to finish!! We would absolutely recommend Will and his team at Elevated Lawn and Landscaping!! Awesome work, Thank you so much . Craig & Rhonda Pearson"

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

The best time of year for power seeding depends on your local climate. The soil should be warm, but the air should be cool. If the weather gets too hot after you grow new grass seed, it can die off easily. The best time for power seeding warm-season grasses is late spring to summer, and the best time for power seeding cool-season grasses is in the fall.

Bermuda grass is one of the fastest-growing warm-season grasses because of its system of aboveground stems (stolons) and below-ground stems (rhizomes). Adequate water and sunlight in a warmer climate will nurture the spread of Bermuda grass. This rapid growth rate makes Bermuda grass resilient and effective at choking weeds. However, this aggressive advancement can also make the grass difficult to contain and control.

Although these terms sound similar and are sometimes used interchangeably, overseeding and reseeding your lawn are very different processes. Overseeding, the simpler of the two, involves a few steps to restore thinned or patchy grass by raking, aerating, and seeding uneven areas of turf to promote regrowth.

Reseeding a lawn is a more drastic and involved process, often necessary if the lawn is diseased, more than a third dead, or very overgrown with weeds. Unlike overseeding, it requires removing most of the existing lawn and starting a new one from scratch, a much bigger and more time-consuming job.

Provided you're using an appropriate starter fertilizer for grass seed, you can put down seeds and fertilizer at the same time. However, putting them down separately, one after the other, on the same day will help to avoid over- or under-applying the lawn food. Avoid using a fertilizer with weed control elements, as these will likely keep the grass seeds from starting.  

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
