"I would give them minus stars if possible. They installed the irrigation system at the newly built home I purchased. I then continued with them to activate and winterize the system for 2-3 years. The office person is by far the rudest person I have ever encountered. Every time you call .. The first question asked is ;did you pay for the service Makes you want to say well no, of course not, I expect you to do it for free. I prepaid every year, but somehow my system never got activated until I called and complained that my new sod was looking bad .. Then I always had to prove I had paid and listen to their excuses. Last year the owner even had the nerve to tell me the system was on and running but I was too stupid to know it!! But then had no explanation or apology when I proved the control for the system was in the "OFF" position. I was charged $75.00 each for two visits last summer when I asked if the system needed to be set differently. The first time the owner was in the area and stopped for all of 5 minutes and argued with me about what I wanted done. The second time he did not even stop and check the system but charged for a service call anyway. I have a another company doing my service this year, they are friendly explanation, polite and do a stellar job. I would not recommend this company to my worst enemy!"

Lawns questions, answered by experts

Your lawn needs to recover after aeration, so make sure the work is done at some point during its peak growing season. This will depend on your region and the type of grass you have, but generally, aerate once or twice per year, either during the late spring, early summer, or early fall.

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.

Not only are lawn depressions unsightly, they also cause your yard to be uneven and have divots, which can be a tripping hazard. Lawn depressions also make mowing more difficult and can potentially cause damage to your mower.

No, it's not a good idea to put grass seed directly on top of dead grass. For successful germination and growth, grass seed needs good soil contact. To prepare the area, start by removing the dead grass using a shovel or a sod cutter. Then, loosen the soil, add soil amendments if necessary, and spread the grass seed evenly. This allows the seed to come into direct contact with the soil, promoting better germination and establishing a healthier lawn.

Before you put down grass seed, you should cultivate your soil or add two inches of topsoil. You should also put down fertilizer at the same time as your seed to prompt healthy growth. Be sure to water after you put down grass seed, especially for the first two weeks.
