Customers say: True professional

"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."

"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!"

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

The best grass type for shady areas depends on your region, your preferences, and your yard’s microclimate. Overall, the best cool-season grass for shade is ryegrass or tall fescue, while the best warm-season grass for shade is St. Augustine. But again, this can depend on what you’re looking for in the grass. The best grass for your shady yard might be one that looks good to you, one that tolerates high foot traffic, or grass with other characteristics that make it fit your lawn needs. 

Bahia grass is not difficult to grow, but you might need patience for this slow-growing grass. Whereas some grass species, like Bermuda grass, can take 1 to 2 weeks to germinate, Bahia grass can take two or three times as long, making it seem like it won’t grow. But again, once your Bahia grass is established, it requires little maintenance. Its deep root system makes it a very durable grass that can bounce back after freezes and droughts. 

When stored under ideal conditions, grass seed lasts anywhere from 10 to 18 months from the testing date without any real decrease in the germination rate. You can still use the seeds after this timeframe, but the germination rates drop 10% to 20% each year. 

If you’re just embarking on an overseeding project, using seeds that have been in storage for a few years isn’t too big of a deal. However, if you’re planning on redoing your entire landscape, your best bet for a healthy, luscious lawn is to use new seeds.

Services typically include mowing, edging, trimming, and debris cleanup. Additional options may consist of fertilization and weed control.

The best time to plant is between spring and autumn. Springtime weather is typically mild and is when nurseries start to bloom. When the summer weather arrives and it’s hot out, it’s best to avoid planting bare-root plants, but you can still plant many in-container varieties. The first sign of fall is another great opportunity to plant biennials if you live in southern states, or a lovely vegetable garden up north.
