"Had to start with Watersmith partially into the season since my last outdoor company couldn't respond in a reasonable amount of time. I needed some sprayer heads added and changed as well as the backflow test done and results forwarded to the city before starting the season. Watersmith has two departments (Irrigation and Lawn) but a single office team that you can reach on the phone, M-F. They will set appointments and relay information to the appropriate team. And also handle billing. Services cost slightly more than my last company I had but having a live person/s in the office during the work week is worth it. On this Labor Day w/e I discovered I was leaking water up through my front lawn and gave them a call and after pressing #2 got an on-call tech who came over within a hour and shut the water off till they reopen the following week. Was very pleased with that response! While I did not signup for the pre-pay plan this year (only 5% discount) they spelled out what the remaining treatments will cost as well as the sprinkler blowout this fall. I also want to see the results before committing long term."

"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

The quickest way to kill weeds is to burn them, pour boiling water on them, or pull them out by hand. Each of these methods works instantaneously. Beyond that, using vinegar for grass works in a couple of hours, as do herbicides you can buy at the store. The slowest way to kill weeds is to starve them of nutrients and sunlight with mulch or fabric covers.

The best time to fight crabgrass with pre-emergent herbicide is when forsythias tend to bloom. In the mid-Atlantic region, this is usually between April and May. Even if you're late to apply the herbicide, it’s effective as long as the crabgrass plant has fewer than five leaves.

Quack grass is a perennial plant that will continue returning yearly until you eradicate it above and below ground.

You don't want to over-fertilize your lawn because it can burn the grass and even kill it. Healthy soil usually requires two fertilization applications a year during the height of the growing season. This fertilization schedule typically starts at the start of fall and the end of spring, depending on the grass type and plants.

Apply fertilizer in early spring and late summer to promote robust growth through the seasons.
