"I had hit the lawn sprinkler pipe while digging up the front yard and couldn't find the sprinkler head, so I wasn't sure what I needed to get. I called hawkeye and they were able to make it out the same day to fix it. Communication was great and did a good job for me. Thanks"

"I tried several companies before I found Mario and he is so much more reliable and professional and personable than any of the others I tried.  I bought a house with a fairly old sprinkler system, so when turning it on or off it needs someTLC, and when something goes wrong it's often hard to find the right part.  Mario is good at returning calls, coming out on short notice if necessary, and figuring out how to deal with my antique sprinkler system.  His prices are very reasonable, so I know when I have a repair he is charging me a fair price.  He is also very patient in explaining the details of the system or the problem if I want to understand it before making any decisions.  I would recommend him without hesitation for any lawn irrigation needs."

"We've been very pleased with them and I would give them an 'A' overall. We've been using them since October of last year and they are a local company. They were last here 2 weeks ago and we spent $50 for them to mow our lawn and do some weeding. 9 or 10 months of the year they are here every week. They're reliable, competent, responsive and on time."

Lawn Irrigation FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, but the best approach is to apply fertilizer well before you actually sprinkle the seeds. Apply fertilizer with an NPK ratio somewhere around 10-10-20, or 10-10-10, depending on soil test results and the type of grass you're planting, about six to eight weeks before planting grass seed. This mix added to loosened soil will give the grass seed its best chance of getting off to a solid start. 

Power seeding and aeration are both excellent ways to improve lawn health, but they serve different functions. Aeration focuses on improving soil health by creating channels that allow more water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide to reach the roots. In contrast, power seeding is a method of planting grass seeds, often by creating narrow trenches in the soil. One service isn't better than the other; they are complementary. It is beneficial to aerate your lawn before power seeding, as this makes the seeding more effective by helping the germinating seeds access the resources they need. It's a good practice to aerate your lawn once or twice a year, regardless of whether you plan to power seed.

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.

Whether you’re putting down fresh seed or reseeding, there are a few things to keep in mind when seeding your lawn. Be sure to choose the correct seed for your climate, seed at the right time of year, and water two to three times a day for the first week. Generally, Dudley recommends seeding in spring and fall as it is usually cooler and rainier.

Technically, yes, at least some of the grass seed you throw on the ground will germinate. If the area doesn’t have good drainage, rain or overwatering can move seeds before they have germinated, leaving your patches still patchy. What does grow won’t have strong roots if there isn’t proper aeration.
