"I had a disappointing experience with Sprinklawn for their lawn irrigation services. Here's what happened: The crew arrived late for the first appointment, which was supposed to be done in 30 minutes to an hour. They couldn’t force air out of two zones because they didn’t have the right tools or enough time. The technician said someone would have to come back later to fix it. On the second visit, the team tried again, but still couldn’t find the valves. Instead, they hooked the pressure to a sprinkler head, which isn’t the right way to do it. This crew came 20 minutes early and spent less than 20 minutes on the job. They said they were too busy and would need to finish it in the spring. After they left, I noticed a sprinkler head in my yard was broken. I had replaced that head less than two years ago, so I think it broke during their work. When I told the technicians my concerns, they just said they didn’t have enough time. When I called customer service, they gave me the owner’s number. The owner, Gary, was very matter-of-fact and said the way they handled it was the only option because my system is old. My main concerns are: Sprinklawn doesn’t seem to fix problems correctly the first time. Their process seems to add extra stress to my irrigation system, causing more issues later. Customer service is poor. They didn’t even offer a credit for the sprinkler head they broke. I won’t use Sprinklawn again because of the poor service and lack of care. I gave two stars because they have been good at repairs in the past when they had enough time and the right tools. But this experience was very frustrating."

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

Don’t pick up dirt after aerating. Even though it's tempting because soil cores are incredibly unsightly, these cores and the dirt they leave behind are ecologically important. This is what keeps your grass looking beautiful and growing healthily. The soil cores need two to three weeks to decompose, but you can swat them with a rake if their natural shape bothers you.

A manual spike aerator or aerator shoe is a very affordable way to aerate a lawn. Such devices can often be purchased for between $30 and $50. Liquid aerator is another affordable option, but this enzymatic spray may not work as well as actual, physical aeration for helping ease compacted soil and may take several applications.

Short answer: yes. Although aeration is beneficial for most lawns and soil types, if it’s done too frequently, you can weaken the grass’s roots so much that they’ll begin to have trouble. Generally, most lawns can be aerated as infrequently as once every one to three years, although those with more foot traffic and compaction may benefit from aeration up to twice yearly.

Hydroseeding over an existing lawn is possible, but certain adjustments are necessary since the process is for bare soil. Hydroseed mix is ​​usually very thick, which helps protect the seeds during germination. If you have existing grass on your site and still want to hydroseed, it's better to use a finer mulch mixture when spraying. A finer mulch mix means the seeds can root into existing soil without suffocating the existing grass.

Experts typically recommend aerating your lawn about once per year, but your aeration frequency will depend on your soil type, lawn condition, and other factors. For instance, you should aerate annually if you have clay-heavy soil or frequent foot traffic in your backyard. However, if your soil is loose or sandy and you don't use your yard often, you can probably aerate every other year.
