"One of the very best companies that I've hired over the past 30 years. Extremely professional and the entire crew was very hard working. They quickly made any changes that I wanted to the original plan. Great communications. The irrigation system is easy to use and the lawn coverage from the overlapping sprays turned out perfectly. I really can't say enough good things about Hydro-Tech Irrigation Co."

"Atlantic Lighting and Irrigation installed both an irrigation system and accent lighting on two trees. From Ian Chaput, the estimator, to the crew, everyone has been professional and timely. Damage was done to my system by an outside party excavating the lot next to me. Atlantic returned and made the necessary repairs. I have already recommended Atlantic Lighting and Irrigation and will continue to do so."

"Very pleased with the outstanding customer service provided by Geary Powell and The Irrigation Professionals team. I submitted an Angi request to have a sprinkler system installed Monday afternoon September 11. Geary called me the next morning and was at my home four hours later to survey my property. His estimate was more than $1,500 less than the other two I received and included a highly rated Rachio wireless control box. After Geary completed the estimate, he told me they had an opening to install the system the following Wednesday, September 20. The team arrived at 8 a.m. and worked diligently for the next eight hours to install 40+ heads in eight zones. The foreman/plumber also did an excellent job plumbing in the backflow preventer, which required him to route the tubing through an enclosed ceiling in the basement. When the team was finished, they re-compressed our turf back and seeded the bare spots to restore our lawn back to normal. After the installation was complete, the foreman showed me how to download the Rachio application to my cell phone, walked me through the process of programming each zone to account for vegetation, sun exposure, land slope, etc., and did a quality check with me. Following his advice, I set up the irrigation profile to run before sunrise the next morning. The system worked perfectly, even telling me when and for how long each zone ran. I'm amazed by how irrigation technology has progressed over the years, as the Rachio controller connects to the weather service, which combines with the rain sensor to stop watering when it rains. And of course, the convenience of controlling our system via phone is an added plus. While the foreman was connecting the system to our water supply, he had to cut a 9 by 9 inch hole in the basement ceiling to insert a 90 degree connector into the tubing. His cut was very neat, he preserved the drywall, put down plastic to catch the dust, and told me the company would send someone out to repair the hole. The next morning Geary called to see if we would be available for someone to take care of it between noon and 1 p.m. that day. A very courteous young man arrived at 12:30 and less than two hours later (which included time for the mud to dry), just like the irrigation project, the work was completed flawlessly. In fact, you canâ t even tell a repair was made. Bottom line: from initial contact to delivery I couldn't be happier with the service we received from The Irrigation Professionals. The professionalism and outstanding customer service displayed by Geary and his team definitely live up to their name!"

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

This depends on the type of grass seed, as some types do better in different environmental conditions. Cool-season grasses go dormant during the summer months when the soil temperature exceeds 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Once exposed to regular doses of heat, the germination rates decline, with seedling death not far behind. 

As for warm-season seeds, they come from tropical parts of the world and thrive in heat. They actively grow in warm air temperatures between 70 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and they prefer soil temperatures between 65 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Once temperatures dip and frost rolls in, if you don’t store them properly, warm-season grass seeds will die quickly.

For optimal results, water newly planted grass seed at least twice a day—once in the morning and again in the late afternoon. The goal is to keep the soil consistently moist for the first two weeks, but be careful not to overwater or flood the seeds. After about two weeks, you can reduce the frequency to once per day. Always monitor weather conditions and adjust your watering schedule accordingly; for instance, you won't need to water as much if it rains.

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. 

Yes, you can put topsoil over sand to encourage grass growth. The topsoil will help to improve water retention and promote grass roots’ development, making it a recommended step of the seeding process. Adding a layer of topsoil will provide additional nutrients to the sandy soil, helping the grass grow and remain healthy through many seasons.

Some grass types grow better than others on hard dirt. For example, hardy grass types like perennial ryegrass and Kentucky bluegrass will grow better on tough soil. Keep in mind that you should still consider your area’s climate when deciding on a grass type.
