"Green Thumb Irrigation did a fantastic job, we no longer have two brown spots on our lawn. Two sprinkling heads were replaced and two were raised. Also, the zones were changed and all together it made a big improvement. The areas which were not getting the water are now getting adequate water and the brown spots are becoming green. I recommend Green Thumb Irrigation, they do an excellent job. "

"Paul hired the person to plant 6 arborvitae..one planted crooked and two over my property line, three died and no response back after he promised to replant 3 more where the dead ones were. No soil amendment, no mulch applied after planting and the roots appeared diseased when I pulled them out. They were over 5 feet tall trees when planted and did not last a year. Paul failed to follow through with his promise to guarantee his work. Would not recommend."

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

Yes, Bahia grass spreads on its own thanks to its short stolon system. However, it might not seem like your Bahia grass spreads well due to its slow growth. Bahia grass takes around 3 to 4 weeks to germinate and an additional two weeks to grow thicker.

During this time, fast-growing, competitive weeds may pop up, so weed your lawn to give your Bahia grass a chance to grow. This grass can take up to two years to become established. Once established, Bahia grass typically does well in suitable climates.

When your sod is new, you should keep an eye on it to prevent dehydration. As new sod plants its roots into the soil beneath it, it can easily get dehydrated and start to turn brown. Keeping a consistent watering schedule for your new sod will help prevent this issue and will help it thrive as it roots into your yard.

Once your sod is about six weeks old, you can start to establish a regular lawn maintenance routine, complete with mowing, edging, and fertilizing.

Yes, many pros leave clippings, as they break down quickly, enhancing your lawn’s nutrient profile without extra effort from you.

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.

The average cost to mow a lawn is about $125, ranging between $50 and $200 per cutting, depending on yard size. Other cost factors include the shape of your lawn, accessibility, lawn health, type of grass, length of grass, and frequency of the mowing schedule. The cost to cut your grass will also vary depending on where you live. If your landscaper has to maneuver around obstacles or deal with hard to reach areas and steep slopes, this will likely increase your total mowing costs.
