"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

Not only are lawn depressions unsightly, they also cause your yard to be uneven and have divots, which can be a tripping hazard. Lawn depressions also make mowing more difficult and can potentially cause damage to your mower.

The fastest growing grass seeds are Bermuda grass, which is a warm-season grass and ryegrass, which is a cool-season grass. Both of these grass types tend to germinate in five to 10 days. Other fast-growing varieties include perennial Ryegrass and fescues, all of which have unique characteristics and growing requirements.

Mowing is one of the most important ways to maintain your lawn because it encourages grass to grow horizontally, creating a fuller, more uniform yard. On top of mowing your lawn, you’ll want to routinely fertilize your lawn, water it regularly, and take care of pests the moment they arise. 

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.

Slit seeding takes about two to three hours for a medium or large lawn. Even bigger lawns or commercial properties can be seeded in about one day. From there, it will take about two weeks for the grass to start growing and another six weeks for the grass to establish stronger roots.
