"James from Metro Lawn Sprinklers & Landscapes "winterized" my Dad's lawn irrigation system on 11/8 in St. Peters. James showed up on time, conducted himself quite professionally and did a fantastic job. I was quite impressed with James AND the work that he did. I would definitely work with Metro Lawn Sprinklers & Landscapes and James again."

"Jason is very reliable and knowledgeable. He does an excellent job of opening and closing our sprinkler system. He has reminders on when the system needs to be opened and closed. We broke a sprinkler head and he came out that day and fixed it! Awesome service and very trustworthy!"

"I recently had foot surgery and needed to use a commercial lawn service for 6 weeks. In the process of caring for our lawn, they knocked the plastic cap off the top of one of the irrigation heads. We called Ty at Hawkeye about replacing it, and within a day he was here and it was done! Their service is outstanding! Bill Hunter"

"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

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.

If you’re wondering whether grass seed will germinate on top of soil, the answer is yes. In fact, it’s the best way to plant your grass seed. Spread seeds in an even layer on top of loose, fertile soil will allow them to germinate and grow strong roots. Topping them with a thin layer of straw will help them retain moisture and stay put, as well as protect them from getting eaten by animals.

Choosing between sod and seed depends on your budget, timeline, and maintenance preferences.

Sod:

  • Pros: Provides an instant, lush lawn and immediate curb appeal. It's more resistant to weeds and erosion, can be installed any time during the growing season, and offers a consistent appearance.

  • Cons: Has a higher upfront cost, typically $0.90 to $1.80 more per square foot than seed. It offers fewer grass varieties and must be installed immediately upon delivery.

Seed:

  • Pros: Less expensive upfront, making it a budget-friendly option. It offers a wider variety of grass types and is easier for a DIY installation.

  • Cons: Takes much longer to establish, potentially up to two years for a full lawn. It requires more maintenance, including regular weed control, and is more difficult to cultivate.

Ultimately, if you want a beautiful lawn quickly and have a larger budget, sod is an excellent choice. If you are patient, want to save money, and prefer a wider selection of grass types, seeding may be the better option.

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.

First, you should figure out whether you have dormant or dead grass. Dead grass won’t come back, so you’ll have to reseed if you’re hoping for a lush lawn. However, grass can go dormant if it hasn’t received enough water or if temperatures are too cold. If it’s still decently warm outside, you can revive dormant grass by watering it. But if it’s mid-January in New England, for example, you’ll need to wait until the weather warms up again. If you want to keep grass green in winter, consider a grass like Kentucky bluegrass, which maintains its color year-round.
