"The process from start to finish went exceedingly well! The online quote system was easy and efficient to use also. We decided to completely start from scratch by removing all of the overgrown shrubbery and the overgrown wax myrtle tree from our front yard. Eric, the business owner, was very responsive and quick to reply to emails and text messages. He was able to get me a quote very quickly via the online quote app they use. I accepted it and we set up a date to have the work done. Marvin's crew showed up right on time and got right to work. The entire job was completely finished in less than 4 hours, which included a thorough cleanup of all small branches and leaves. They loaded all of the ripped out vegetation onto a trailer and took it to the dump. I was very impressed with Eric and Marvin's crew's professionalism and thoroughness. I will definitely use Cornerstone again and also recommend them to others. I've included before and after photos."

"David did a wonderful job landscaping our back yard. He brought in about 10 Sasanqua bushes, planted them in new soil and mulched all the beds. He is reliable and knowledgeable. We told him we hoped to get the work done so the yard would look nice for Thanksgiving, and he accommodated us by doing the work the day before the holiday. If you need landscaping, do not hesitate to hire David Cedotal."

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

While it may seem easier and faster to throw grass seed onto dirt and call it a day, that method likely won’t yield great results. Preparing your lawn for reseeding or seeding by clearing rocks and debris, aerating, removing existing grass, or leveling it. You should also plan out the best time to plant your grass based on its type and your location to ensure it grows well. So, if you want your grass to grow successfully, put more time and effort into the project than throwing seed on the ground.

Unfortunately, no. Grass seeds need a lot of moisture until they become sprouts, so this is an especially sensitive time. While they'll dry out if they get dehydrated, over-watering creates other problems. The grass seeds don't recover because they can just wash away or even rot, making for low germination rates. The ones that do germinate after being pushed under the soil may start to sprout only to die from lack of sunlight.

The easiest way to rough up soil to accept grass seed and provide the best opportunity for its growth is to make several passes over the area with a garden tiller and rake away the loosened vegetation and debris. However, in some cases, very hard ground may require using a shovel or pick to break up pieces into smaller chunks that the tiller can handle more easily.

This depends on the type of grass seed, as some types do better in different environmental conditions. Cool-season grasses go dormant during the summer months when the soil temperature exceeds 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Once exposed to regular doses of heat, the germination rates decline, with seedling death not far behind. 

As for warm-season seeds, they come from tropical parts of the world and thrive in heat. They actively grow in warm air temperatures between 70 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and they prefer soil temperatures between 65 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Once temperatures dip and frost rolls in, if you don’t store them properly, warm-season grass seeds will die quickly.

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.
