"I recently had foot surgery and needed to use a commercial lawn service for 6 weeks. In the process of caring for our lawn, they knocked the plastic cap off the top of one of the irrigation heads. We called Ty at Hawkeye about replacing it, and within a day he was here and it was done! Their service is outstanding! Bill Hunter"

"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."

"After the blistering summer of 2012, and hand watering all of the flowers, shrubs, trees and grass, I decided that we needed an irrigation system. So I called my favorite contractor, Dunn Home Improvements (DHI) to put it in. Josh Dunn and his crew arrived at the appointed time with all of the tools and equipment necessary for the job, professionally dressed and ready to start working.  The first day they installed a new 8 zone irrigation system and used a trencher in the yard and flower beds for the water lines.  The second and third day they laid lines and installed approximately 40 heads, a rain sensor and backflow preventer.  All three days they arrived on time and ready to work.  They also maintain the system by coming out twice a year to start my system in the spring and shut it down in the fall.  They also adjusted any heads that needed it.  They did a great job and answered all of my questions.  Great Customer Service! Now all of my plants are very happy, healthy and beautiful and I didn't have to water anything by hand.  Working with DHI folks is always a pleasure.  DHI is the only number that I call when I want to build, remodel and install.

"We worked with the Tainter brothers on a huge patio project. The original consultations and design stage of the project went very well. We chose a stone patio that needed to be raised several feet from the ground to deal with a sloping yard and a back door that is 4 feet off the ground. We wanted a koi pond with a waterfall built into the patio. We incorporated 2 purpolas and flower beds around the outside edges. Some of our inground sprinkler needed to be reworked to accomodate the patio. We did not haggle over money. We wanted our dream patio. We were told by Craig that we would have a meeting with Anthony to design the water feature in the near future. So the project begins. Removal of the old patio. No problem. Laying of the base. No problem. The day they were to lay the stone Craig wanted to make a change. He brought a few samples he wanted to go with. This was a little rushed and I settled for a stone I would not have chosen if I did it again. A sump pump drain pipe was discovered in our yard when the tractor cracked it. No problem, they would fix it good as new when they were finished. We apparently have a very active sump pump, and a lot of water moves through it daily. So we now have a bit of a swamp on the uphill side of a stone patio project. Great care is being given to the stone work, looks fantastic. Anthony arrives one day and begins building the koi pond. Odd, we never had our meeting with him as promised by Craig. Lots of details still to work out on this prize feature of our patio. But Anthony is not here to talk, he has 2 days he had specially planned into his week to build the pond. I intervene and call a halt to the pond construction until we can meet about design. Anthony was polite to me, but he took his frustration out on a pile of dirt until the dirt finally won. We were able to meet about the design and very glad we did, the design the brother's had in mind was not at all close to the design we wanted. I am not talking shape. It is a 5 x 8 x 4 rectangular pond. I am talking about how to incorporate the filter, waterfall, and pump. The mosquitoes are starting to get bad as the swamp is not being dealt with. The tractor path from the street to the patio is tearing up a swath of the lawn. The outside temperatures are getting to be insanely hot at 105 degree days. The lighting is put in and looks great. But communication with Craig is starting to erode. Just when it needs to be at its best getting the final touches on the work, the part everyone looks at, he is very distant. We get a terrible batch of paving bricks, they were supposed to be a tri color mix. One pallet is almost all black, a sharp contrast to the rest of the variegated pavers already in place. They work with me in ordering a replacement pallet that is truer to the intended color promised by the manufacturer. One day I asked Craig about how he chose to plant a tree, he had buried it with the burlap, wire and cording still on the rootball. I said that needed to be taken up and removed, he started to say something, then turned away talking to himself so I could hear that he has always planted them that way and no one else ever had a problem. The koi pond is finished... um.... but has no electric run to it. The flower beds are created around the outside... they put 5 inches of topsoil over clay, chat, and cement spoils from the project. The filler sand that sits between the pavers was put down, it started to rain, it was finished very quickly and looks like a job my teenage son would do. The in-ground sprinkler was moved to accomodate the patio.... 3 weeks after the project we finally discover the source of two odd wet spots... it had two leaks. The contract said they would restore our lawn... they raked and threw down some grass seed. (I had a lawn that could rival a baseball field. Now I had mud with seed.)... We tried to contact Craig to discuss these issues and to get this project finished in a way that left everyone smiling. Craig didn't show up any more. He didn't return phone calls. We left messages. He did send out his workers to address some of the issues we stated in our messages... the leaky sprinkler pipes were fixed. A cheap sod was laid in place of the seed. In the end it all came down to communication. We withheld $700 from the final payment saying we needed two issues addressed. Craig just simply never called back. We never hesitated when he came to us with price increases to adress a change we asked for. We know he was generous with his material on the beautiful stairs.  We were absolutely dumbfounded with his lack of communication on the koi pond. We have no idea how a pond that requires a pump and a filter never had electric in the cost structure. Voices were never raised. Harsh words were never spoken. We would call and say we needed to discuss the condition of the lawn or the invoice because we were confused on a few items. We simply never heard back. Very very odd ending to huge project."

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

When stored under ideal conditions, grass seed lasts anywhere from 10 to 18 months from the testing date without any real decrease in the germination rate. You can still use the seeds after this timeframe, but the germination rates drop 10% to 20% each year. 

If you’re just embarking on an overseeding project, using seeds that have been in storage for a few years isn’t too big of a deal. However, if you’re planning on redoing your entire landscape, your best bet for a healthy, luscious lawn is to use new seeds.

If you’re wondering whether grass seed will germinate on top of soil, the answer is yes. In fact, it’s the best way to plant your grass seed. Spread seeds in an even layer on top of loose, fertile soil will allow them to germinate and grow strong roots. Topping them with a thin layer of straw will help them retain moisture and stay put, as well as protect them from getting eaten by animals.

Lawn care is tough work—even when you hire pros, there’s no guarantee your grass won’t die (unless, of course, your company offers a guarantee). But lawn care companies don’t control the rain or watering restrictions. Your type of grass also impacts the type of care required to keep a lush lawn—and how much that care costs. Talk to a lawn care pro to determine the best times to treat your lawn based on type of grass and your climate.

Treating dry soil can bring back a dormant lawn, but not a dead one. After nurturing a dry lawn back to proper moisture levels, you should closely observe whether your grass revives with the soil. If not, you may need to reseed your lawn or start fresh with new turf.

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.
