"We had 811 Dig flags and spray paint in our yard for weeks in the fall waiting for our sprinkler system to be put in. Springfield Gardens didn’t come then so we took up the flags and 811 Dig came again in December and the sprinkler system got put in. Our yard was more dug up than expected and there were exposed lines sticking up above ground all winter. They came back April 22 at 5:15 even though they said they’d be here between 3:00-5:00, and the worker acknowledged that it was a poor quality job and a crew would need to come out and do several hours of work. We scheduled them to come out at 8:00am first thing on May 10 so my husband didn’t go into work that morning. The worker was over an hour late without calling to inform my husband. I did reach the office after multiple attempts, and she said the employee was looking for sod. He finally showed up without sod, and no one has brought sod almost two months later. We’ve gone ahead and spent hundreds of dollars for seed and spent countless hours picking up rocks that were left in our yard and patching the bare spots and adding soil around the sprinkler heads that were too high and causing a tripping hazard. Please learn from our mistake and don’t hire them to install an in-ground sprinkler system."

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

It’s not required, but it is helpful if your goal is to produce new growth. Any fertilization should occur after the lawn is aerated and before the compost is applied. If you also plan to spread seed, you’ll want to do so after the fertilizer is applied and once the ground is damp, but not wet.

No, watering dead grass will not bring it back to life. If the grass on your lawn is truly dead, no amount of water will bring it back to life. However, some methods can bring dying grass back to life. Consider aerating, overseeding, or analyzing your soil to get to the root of why the grass is dying. 

Before you put down grass seed, you should cultivate your soil or add two inches of topsoil. You should also put down fertilizer at the same time as your seed to prompt healthy growth. Be sure to water after you put down grass seed, especially for the first two weeks.

Lime isn't a fertilizer. Instead, it helps fertilizers, plant food, and naturally occurring nutrients reach the grass by boosting the pH level in acidic soils. While adding lime isn't a crucial task in some locations, it's vital to keeping a lawn healthy in many areas. Lime's ability to encourage healthy grass by making nutrients in the soil more effective makes the task worth the effort, regardless of location.

In most cases, it is worth paying for professional lawn care. DIY lawn maintenance is possible, but it can get extremely time-consuming, especially to make your property look well-maintained. Not only is lawn maintenance time-intensive, but it can also get expensive, even to DIY, especially considering the cost of fuel and maintenance for your lawn care tools. Professional lawn care services average around $100 per service, making it a relatively inexpensive investment, especially for how much time it saves you.
