"I have had an annual lawn irrigation contract with Metro since they installed the system in 1999. It has always went well and I am expecting the same result in 2021. The technicians have always been on time, professional, efficient and knowledgeable. This is one company you can depend on to perform as advertised and in accordance with their contracts. I highly recommend them for your lawn irrigation needs and service for existing systems."

Customers say: Terrific value

"I have to say, I was a bit hesitant to accept a bid that was less than half that of the other two that I received, fearing that the quality of work a service would reflect the lesser price. Jason's team came in a completely re-did my backyard (previously entirely concrete). They followed the plan that my wife an I came up with in nearly perfect detail, without skipping any of the essential steps. They installed sod, decomposed granite pathways, compost flower beds, two pavers patios, and an irrigation system for the lawn and all the planting areas with immaculate attention to detail and skill. There is no way that anyone could have done the job better to the extent that it would be worth double the cost."

"They are in process of transitioning ownership. There was some confusion on the scheduling process (I was given a date and time that worked and then they called me back and needed to reschedule). I was told "early afternoon" and was home waiting at 12:30, they arrived at 3:30. When I tried calling to get updated info, I had to leave a voice mail message a few times before I was able to speak with someone to get an updated time. The workmanship was good. New owner Chad spent about 10 min with me showing how to program our controller. I will plan to continue to use Aqua Irrigation for service."

"I tried several companies before I found Mario and he is so much more reliable and professional and personable than any of the others I tried.  I bought a house with a fairly old sprinkler system, so when turning it on or off it needs someTLC, and when something goes wrong it's often hard to find the right part.  Mario is good at returning calls, coming out on short notice if necessary, and figuring out how to deal with my antique sprinkler system.  His prices are very reasonable, so I know when I have a repair he is charging me a fair price.  He is also very patient in explaining the details of the system or the problem if I want to understand it before making any decisions.  I would recommend him without hesitation for any lawn irrigation needs."

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can overseed your lawn without aerating it, but results may vary. If you have the time, dethatching or aerating your lawn before overseeding will yield the best results. Overseeding your lawn without aerating will work, but less seed will take root. For the best possible results, aerate your lawn before overseeding it.

While hydroseeding is typically meant for bare soil, it is possible to hydroseed over an existing lawn with some adjustments. For the new seed to germinate and thrive, it needs good seed-to-soil contact. Without it, most of the seed may not take root and will die. To improve your chances of success when repairing a patchy area, mow any existing grass as low as possible and loosen any exposed soil before application. It is also recommended to use a finer mulch mixture when spraying, as this will help the seeds reach the soil and root without suffocating the existing grass.

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.

Planting grass from seed requires time to grow before it can handle even light foot traffic. Most varieties require a minimum of three months before you can walk on them regularly. You can expect to wait at least one year before your lawn can hold up to heavy use. Because sod is already established, it can be walked on more quickly than grass planted from seed.

While it’s possible to grow grass seeds by throwing them down, this isn’t the best way to plant them. By amending and prepping the soil beforehand, you’re providing optimal contact between seed and soil for a better chance at germination. If you throw them down without preparing the soil beforehand, seeds are more likely to blow away, get eaten by hungry birds, or never grow.
