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

You can, like you can put too little down. Sowing too much grass seed can create competition between the seeds for resources (light, water, nutrients) and the seedlings could struggle to grow. When you sow too few, your lawn will come in thin. Your seed product has a recommended seeding rate, so use that as your guide.

Like most plants, the seeds need water, optimal temperature, sunlight, and oxygen. Each variety of grass seed will have slightly different needs—higher or lower temperatures, for instance—so pick one that syncs up with your home’s climate and the time you wish to plant. Take a look at the 10-day forecast to ensure there won’t be a major rainstorm.

The best time to plant grass seed depends on your local climate and whether you have cool-season or warm-season grass.

For cool-season grasses (like tall fescue), the ideal time to seed is late summer or early fall (typically August and September). During this period, the soil is still warm from the summer, but the air is cooler, creating optimal conditions for germination and root establishment before winter. There is also less competition from weeds. Spring is a secondary option, but cooler soil temperatures, the risk of a late frost, and less time for the grass to mature before summer heat can make it less successful.

For warm-season grasses (like St. Augustine), the best time to plant is from late spring through mid-summer (typically May and June), when temperatures are consistently between 75 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit.

In general, it is best to avoid seeding during winter or early spring, as cold soil and air can prevent seeds from germinating. For recommendations tailored to your specific grass type and climate, consider consulting a local lawn care professional.

Lawn care is tough work—even when you hire pros, there’s no guarantee your grass won’t die (unless, of course, your company offers a guarantee). But lawn care companies don’t control the rain or watering restrictions. Your type of grass also impacts the type of care required to keep a lush lawn—and how much that care costs. Talk to a lawn care pro to determine the best times to treat your lawn based on type of grass and your climate.

If your lawn and general landscape are struggling, consider calling a local landscape specialist to suggest lawn amendments, local plants, and hardscape changes to boost the long-term health of your outdoor space. While you may be able to take on small projects yourself—such as reseeding your lawn or testing the soil—a professional can help you build a plan to bring a struggling yard back to life quickly.
