"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."

"Throughout the repair, Mr. Federico was friendly and responsive. He was very upfront and transparent about what he was doing and finding in the system, and patiently went through each part of the irrigation system until we had determined the problem. Including digging around looking for the extra valve box, and tracing back what equated to colorful wire spaghetti back to the control box. Ultimately Mr. Federico was able to diagnose the wiring fault and repair it. He stayed to verify that every zone worked, and also moved a sprinkler head to help assist with a concurrent patio installation. I would strongly recommend him to anyone in the Wakefield and Stoneham area."

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

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.

If you use a starter fertilizer designed for this purpose, you can overseed and fertilize at the same time. If you opt to use a fertilizer for established grass or one with a weed control component, it's best to wait at least four to eight weeks after seed application to allow the new grass to take hold and establish itself. 

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.

Yes! Fescue grass is a perennial that naturally regrows every spring. That’s why we recommend planting this grass variety in the spring to jump into the ideal growing and regrowing schedule. Keep in mind that fescue grasses thrive in cooler and transitional areas, so some species do best in moderate climates below 90 and above 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

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.
