Customers say: Quick response

"I hired Lorenzo after inheriting an old sprinkler system and firing the previous repair company who was non-responsive and difficult to work with. I hired Lorenzo and 1.5 years later I could not be happier. He fixed my previous system, helped me add a line and change existing head locations, and install a new wifi controller. He is always incredibly responsive, very easy to work with, and is impeccable in his clean up - you would have never known he trenched for a 50 foot long line. I could not recommend Lorenzo more. I have since told friends and families to use Lorenzo for all of their sprinkler system needs."

"The installation of our new home’s sprinkler system in 1990 was flawless. After the installation American National Sprinkler turned our system on in the spring, drained & shut down in the fall, and serviced our system for 30 years. Pricing was always fair. I never felt like they were trying to overcharge. Their service employees were always professional, courteous, and prompt. Customer service was the same and helpful. Our lawn always looked GREAT. Friends, and family always asked why - my response was fertilizing but mostly due to my AMERICAN NATIONAL sprinkler system."

Lawn Irrigation FAQs, answered by experts

Make your ryegrass thicker by boosting soil health. Add organic matter, aerate the lawn if the soil is compacted, fertilize appropriately, and see if your lawn needs dethatching. Your local lawn care service can come and look at your lawn and provide specific advice and remedies for your lawn issues.

Sod is different from grass because it comes in thick layers of mature grass, roots, and soil for quick transportation and easy installation. This is different from seeding your lawn, which involves directly laying grass seeds into the ground. Grass seeds take approximately 30 days to begin germinating and up to 18 months to reach maturity, whereas sod comes ready to go.

Due to its slow growth, Bahia grass does not generally take over weeds. In fact, the opposite can be true. Young Bahia grass is susceptible to being taken over by weeds. 

Likewise, in the cool season, Bahia grass goes into a dormant state that can allow weeds that thrive in early spring to get the upper hand. If you want to prevent weeds from taking over your yard, remove them by hand or apply a Bahia grass-friendly pre-emergent herbicide to your lawn before weeds have a chance to appear.

Soaking grass seeds in water before seeding is called pre-germinating. It’s not necessary but can be very helpful in some cases. Some grasses like are very slow to germinate, and basic seeding on the ground is unlikely to be effective—that’s especially true of cool season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass, rye grasses, and Bermuda grass. Soaking these seeds in a bag or bin of water for one to four days beforehand can give the grass the start it needs to survive.

Fine fescue grass can germinate within 12 to 22 days. Of course, factors such as soil and climate can determine how long it will take for your no-mow grass to sprout. New grass seed needs adequate sunshine, oxygen, moisture, and healthy soil for successful germination. The best time to plant fescue grass is early spring or early fall.
