"I really can’t say a single bad thing about my irrigation installation experience. Chris came out for the quote and was very knowledgeable, professional and listened to my needs. I asked where heads would go because I was considering some hardscaping in the near future and didn’t want placement to be an issue. He actually recommended a company to me and the two companies worked with each other on my entire backyard makeover The installation crew was meticulous with adjusting the heads and I love the different styles of heads placed around the property. Chris’ communication was awesome from start to finish. The technician programmed my controller for me and the system has worked beautifully. I hydroseeded and began to see grass after just a week with a sprinkler system. The whole experience was seamless and I couldn’t be happier."

"Jose and his whole team did a fantastic job on our back yard project. We had a 90 ft retention wall put in, multiple trees cut down, our entire back yard leveled out, and a sprinkler system installed. His team was always on time, hard working, and cleaned up after themselves. Jose’s team was able to get our project done in less than 3 weeks, and we were very impressed with the quality of their work. They also ended up building us a smaller rock wall that was not originally part of the plan and looks beautiful. I included before and after pictures here, but I can say that the pictures don’t do it justice."

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

Planting grass from seed requires time to grow before it can handle even light foot traffic. Most varieties require a minimum of three months before you can walk on them regularly. You can expect to wait at least one year before your lawn can hold up to heavy use. Because sod is already established, it can be walked on more quickly than grass planted from seed.

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.

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.

Power seeding and aeration are both excellent ways to improve lawn health, but they serve different functions. Aeration focuses on improving soil health by creating channels that allow more water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide to reach the roots. In contrast, power seeding is a method of planting grass seeds, often by creating narrow trenches in the soil. One service isn't better than the other; they are complementary. It is beneficial to aerate your lawn before power seeding, as this makes the seeding more effective by helping the germinating seeds access the resources they need. It's a good practice to aerate your lawn once or twice a year, regardless of whether you plan to power seed.

Choosing between sod and seed depends on your budget, timeline, and maintenance preferences.

Sod:

  • Pros: Provides an instant, lush lawn and immediate curb appeal. It's more resistant to weeds and erosion, can be installed any time during the growing season, and offers a consistent appearance.

  • Cons: Has a higher upfront cost, typically $0.90 to $1.80 more per square foot than seed. It offers fewer grass varieties and must be installed immediately upon delivery.

Seed:

  • Pros: Less expensive upfront, making it a budget-friendly option. It offers a wider variety of grass types and is easier for a DIY installation.

  • Cons: Takes much longer to establish, potentially up to two years for a full lawn. It requires more maintenance, including regular weed control, and is more difficult to cultivate.

Ultimately, if you want a beautiful lawn quickly and have a larger budget, sod is an excellent choice. If you are patient, want to save money, and prefer a wider selection of grass types, seeding may be the better option.
