"After Grasshopper Irrigation turned on our watering system earlier this year, we had some sod laid and I noticed that it appeared that some jet6s were not covering needed areas on our lawn. I scheduled a visit to fix the problems. The customer rep (David) spent time with me watching how each watering jet was working and he identified several issues and then fixed them all. David was very knowledgeable and we ran tests of all jets when he finished his work. Very pleased with his servicing our watering system."

"Edison and his team quite literally saved our back yard. We had major flooding and ponding issues for the last two years, so much so that it killed off about half of the grass in our yard. These guys installed a new drainage system, regraded, and seeded our yard all within a matter of a couple weeks. We went from a marshy duck pond back to a lush green pasture and have had no signs of ponding or flooding since. Canâ t thank them enough!"

"Fantastic job. From beginning with the estimate to finishing up the installation of the new lawn everything went smoothly. Aurelio and his assistant returned the next morning in the snow to complete the last section of lawn. A true professional goes that extra mile for his customers."

"Anthony came and we talked about the project I wanted done. He was very professional and knowledgeable about what I wanted. He arrived with his crew on time and ready to get started. Anthony told the crew of four what to do and they all got started. They worked very hard and well with each other getting the job done. What a job they did my front yard and back yard are looking great with no leaves or papers that were blown in. I have hired Anthony to mow my lawns every other week thatâ s what an impression he and his crew made on me. Thank you â Thunderâ"

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

Water daily, avoid heavy foot traffic, and mow when the grass reaches 3-4 inches.

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.

When spring arrives, it’s best to hold off on mowing until temperatures have consistently reached a temperature of at least 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Attempting to mow grass that hasn't fully thawed from its winter dormancy can harm the delicate blades. Ensure your grass is dry before mowing and aim to mow when the grass is about three to four inches tall, trimming no more than one-third of the grass blade's height at a time. This timing encourages healthy growth and prevents shock to the grass, preparing your lawn for a happy, healthy growing season.

It is not recommended to mow wet grass, including grass with morning dew. Mowing when wet can damage your lawn, your mower, and potentially cause injury. Wet grass blades are more likely to be torn rather than cut cleanly, which can lead to brown tips and increase the risk of fungal diseases. Additionally, wet clippings can clump together, smothering the grass underneath, and can clog your mower. For best results, wait until the grass is dry to the touch, which is often about two hours after morning dew has evaporated. Regular lawn mower maintenance is also important for a clean cut.

In many cases, it’s a good idea to water St. Augustine grass daily to keep the soil moist and the grass thriving. It’s drought-tolerant, but it’s always best to keep it watered. However, it’s also important not to overwater, so skip watering during wetter conditions and aerate your lawn to promote proper soil drainage.
