Customers say: Quality work

"Craig and his team stand out in what is a very competitive market. Start to finish I was pleased with Craig's professionalism, insight, patience, and quality of work performed. As you would expect with most large jobs his price per head came down as we expanded into other parts of the lawn and his estimate was the price, no surprises.
I highly recommend The Irrigation Company and I look forward to the opportunity of working with them again in the future.

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

Technically no, but they can look very similar and people often refer to the weedy grasses interchangeably. However, several differences keep these species separate. Crabgrass is often a darker color than carpetgrass and tends to sprout much earlier in spring. When allowed to grow out, crabgrass grows stems outward from the center of a stalk in a star-like pattern, which carpetgrass does not have.

One of the best ways to save money on lawn care is to sign up for an annual contract for ongoing service rather than paying for one-off or as-needed services. If you guarantee a landscaping company ongoing work, they’re more likely to give you a break on the cost. Plus, ongoing services will keep your property in tip-top shape and help avoid the high cost of playing catch up on an overgrown lawn. You can also save money by sticking to the basics and foregoing add-on services like weeding and pest treatments.

The average cost to seed or reseed a lawn is about $1,100, with prices typically ranging from $450 to $1,700. The final cost depends on factors like your lawn size, the type of seed used, and local labor rates. On a per-square-foot basis, you can expect to pay between $0.10 and $0.20.

Here are some cost estimates based on lawn size:

  • 500 square feet: $50–$100

  • 2,000 square feet: $200–$400

  • 4,000 square feet: $400–$800

  • 5,000 square feet: $500–$1,000

  • 1 acre: $3,000–$5,880

  • 2 acres: $6,000–$11,760

  • 5 acres: $15,000–$17,640

Popular seed types for residential lawns include bahia, fescue, and Bermuda. Compared to installing sod, seeding is generally a less expensive option, especially for larger areas.

Additional services can add to the total cost:

  • Fertilization: $80–$400

  • Soil testing: $700–$2,100

  • Yard cleanup and leaf removal: $200–$560

  • Weed treatment: $110–$325

  • Mowing: $50–$210

The best hardiness zones for St. Augustine grass are USDA growing zones 8, 9, and 10. However, with a bit of extra attention, it'll also grow well in zones 7, 11, and 12.

The best grass type for shady areas depends on your region, your preferences, and your yard’s microclimate. Overall, the best cool-season grass for shade is ryegrass or tall fescue, while the best warm-season grass for shade is St. Augustine. But again, this can depend on what you’re looking for in the grass. The best grass for your shady yard might be one that looks good to you, one that tolerates high foot traffic, or grass with other characteristics that make it fit your lawn needs.
