"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.

"Juan installed my sprinkle system today. He was on time, professional, and friendly at a very reasonable price. He provides his cell number in case I have any further questions. He adjusted all the heads and tested everything and made many adjustments. He gave me useful information about my front lawn as well as the back lawn. He kept in contact with me throughout the entire process. Mendez Irrigation does the best work at the fairest price. I would recommend him to everyone that asked me about my new lawn. I will use them again! Great job Juan and Team, thank you"

"Grasshopper was helpful from start to finish. They answered all of my questions and assisted me through the entire process. Betsy in the office was very helpful and handled everything making the process very easy on my end when it came time to scheduling, payments, etc. As far as the installation goes, they used a 3 man crew who completed the job in half the time I had expected. They were very careful with my lawn and did an amazing job cleaning up and staying neat. I had redone my mulch beds a month ago and planned on buying a half a dozen bags to throw down to hide anywhere the crews worked. When they were finished they had been so neat about everything I barely have to do anything. I am extremely happy with the work they performed and in the way it was performed. I would highly recommend Grasshopper Irrigation and will be using them for future projects."

"Edgar landscaping exceeded my expectations. Edgar's team did a nice job reshaping overgrown arborvitae and planting new shrubs. Very easy to work with and willing to take direction and make adjustments based on my feedback on the work. I would hire Edgar again for future projects."

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.

You should put pre-emergent herbicide and fertilizer on your lawn in the spring. Pre-emergent herbicide keeps weeds from taking root. Fertilizer helps your grass to grow lush and dense and blocks future weeds from growing. You can also add amendments, such as sulfur and lime, to enhance your soil quality. 

There are several possible reasons why your Bermuda grass is not thick, with the biggest reasons being too little water, too much shade, compacted soil, drainage issues, and too few nutrients in the soil. Bermuda grass needs frequent and direct sunlight to stay thick, so thinning grass is likely the result of a lack of sun. 

Aerating a lawn before seeding it or adding new grass seed is a smart decision. By loosening up compact soil and allowing it to take in more air and water, your seeds will have an easier time establishing roots and growing. Aerating beforehand also means your seeds will have better contact with the soil, so more of your seeds have a chance to germinate. If you do plan to aerate your lawn before seeding, aerate about two days before you plan to start seeding.

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.
