Customers say: Quality work

"From initial contact to completion of the installation this week, Craig was terrific. He was always timely and updated us if there was a change in the schedule. His workmen were pleasant and respectful. The work was done carefully with minimal disruption to the lawn and plants given the scope of the installation. We had a total of six zones of irrigation installed. I felt from the beginning that Craig understood the scope and complexity of the project."

"Grasshopper Irrigation did an excellent job on fixing a wiring issue that occured when we had a chipmunk get tangled up in some of the wiring in our irrigation system. The tech was very knowledgable and profession. He was able to fix a broken valve stem and get the system back up and running quickly. I have also used them for winterization services on the system for the past few years and they do great work at a very reasonable price."

"Great experience! Someone came out to inspect the system identified the issues immediately. The next day they came back to finish fixing the system and replaced several broken sprinkler heads. Reasonably priced and demonstrated expertise in the irrigation space. Would hire again!"

"We had another company install our sprinkler system 3 years ago and it wasn't done correctly. We've given many times to correct it and they couldn't. Bryan from this company came out and immediately knew how to resolve all the problem spots and fix the heads to spray how they needed. Not only is he excellent at his job his customer service is awesome. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, happy and understood the best way to manage our lawn. This company is blessed to him on their team!!"

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

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.

Choosing the right grass seed and planting it at the right time are the most important factors in establishing fast-growing grass. You also need adequate water, sunshine, and nutrients. To speed up the growth process, you can implement some tips and tricks, including watering it deeply and frequently, and using an iron-rich fertilizer to boost its appearance.

Even the most shade-tolerant turf grass needs at least three or four hours of full sunlight or a good amount of partial sunlight throughout the day. You might want to look at other gardening options for full shade, like plants that can survive in full shade, hardscaping, or structural architecture, to still get that yard of your dreams without compromising on your landscaping design. 

Provided you're using an appropriate starter fertilizer for grass seed, you can put down seeds and fertilizer at the same time. However, putting them down separately, one after the other, on the same day will help to avoid over- or under-applying the lawn food. Avoid using a fertilizer with weed control elements, as these will likely keep the grass seeds from starting.  

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.
