"After a few rain delays, these guys came out on a Saturday morning to take down my 20+ year old tree and grind the stump. They did a great job from start to cleanup. The price was very good and I would definitely hire them again."

" I can’t speak highly enough about my experience with Burge Irrigation. From start to finish, they were professional, responsive, and clearly committed to getting the job done right. But what really made the difference was their lead technician, Reid. We were dealing with a complex irrigation issue that had stumped others, but Reid approached it with incredible knowledge, patience, and determination. He took the time to thoroughly diagnose the problem, explain everything clearly, and walk me through the solution step by step. It was clear from the start that he genuinely cares about the quality of his work and customer satisfaction. Thanks to Reid and the team at Burge Irrigation, the system is now working better than ever. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing reliable irrigation services. Reid is a true asset to the company!"

"quality of work is good. One issue was they tried to change agreed upon price after work was completed, however, they did honor original estimate. When reviewing my outside cameras to understand why agreed upon maintenance cost increased 100% from a few months earlier it became clear, two employees at all times were sitting in their truck while the other two were working..."

"Be aware of Atlantic Irrigation at (REMOVED ADDRESS), and their technicians regarding sexual harassment. Protect your family from overly-friendly technicians. We had an incident where one of their technicians was ?fresh? and ?hitting? on my wife, verbally, and also included unwanted touching her twice! This is an outrage and not an innocent act. You don?t "hit on" women or touch them in any way! No woman should be treated in this manner, married or unmarried. There should be no fear placed in any woman regarding men working on their property. We have filed a complaint with the Prince George?s County police, placed a restraining peace order against this person, named (NAME REMOVED), and also filed a complaint with the company. The company president, (NAME REMOVED), apologizes verbally and claims that they have not had such an incident. She said if this had happened to her, she would have called 911. There has been no follow-up to remedy this situation."

Lawns questions, answered by experts

Throwing grass seed on existing lawn isn’t likely to germinate, grow roots, or become healthy grass. You need to prep the soil, spread fertilizer with your seed, and sow the seed into the soil. Water the seed every day for two weeks to ensure it germinates and grows roots. Be sure to stay off the area and wait to mow until it reaches optimal height.

Enhanced root development, better fertilizer uptake, and improved drought resistance.

Lawn aeration and dethatching are meant to solve the same problem, loosening up compacted soil so that the root systems can grow and receive more water, oxygen, and nutrients. Aeration is the gentler option and often the preferable one. Dethatching completely tears out the thatch layer of the lawn and can inadvertently yank out healthy grass if done incorrectly. Aeration loosens the soil and only removes small cores of it.

Experts recommend aerating a lawn at least once a year. If you haven’t aerated your lawn recently, or if it has a significant amount of thatch buildup, you may need to aerate it twice annually for a few years. Keeping up with a regular aeration schedule helps ensure the long-term health of your yard.

There are several best practices you can do to keep your lawn looking healthy. Knowing when to water grass is among the most important. Having your sprinkler timer set to early morning is best because it gives your grass and plants enough time to absorb water before the sun and wind can evaporate it. To maximize a sprinkler’s impact, aerate your lawn once or twice per year. Doing this achieves better absorption and stronger root systems for your grass.
