"We have already recommended Tru Irrigation to another individual looking for a landscaper. They did a great job on my property and they will service our property going forward."
"They are our first call any time concrete work is needed at our business locale. Not only fair pricing, but utmost concern that we are happy with their work! They have re-done concrete porches, concrete steps and railings (welding) and most recently worked to refinish our concrete outdoor hot tub. Highly recommend!"
"They showed up when they said they would. They finished the job timely. Their pricing was great. They did quality work, and it was all put together with a nice finish grad. No slobby work here."
"I used John for all my sprinkler repairs for the last 10 years. He is a very dependable and reliable. Always answered my calls and showed up when he said. Very clean and reasonably priced."
"They did a first-rate job, and gave a reasonable estimate. All the cut material was collected and taken away. My neighbor was so impressed that he hired the company to do his yard the next week."
"Mr. Evan has been out to help with pressure testing on two of our livestock watering access points, and was/is as professional, courteous, and knowledgeable as they come. I would and will encourage that anyone in need contact him first. Thank you my Friend"
One of the most effective ways to improve lawn absorption is to learn how to aerate your lawn. This is a process where you poke tiny holes all throughout it to break up tough soil and sediment, creating pathways for sunlight, water, air, and nutrients to seep into the plant’s roots. In turn, it promotes stronger root systems, making your lawn or plants less susceptible to pests and disease. Ideally, you’ll want to aerate your lawn at least once per year during the growing season—think late summer to early fall.
When stored under ideal conditions, grass seed lasts anywhere from 10 to 18 months from the testing date without any real decrease in the germination rate. You can still use the seeds after this timeframe, but the germination rates drop 10% to 20% each year.
If you’re just embarking on an overseeding project, using seeds that have been in storage for a few years isn’t too big of a deal. However, if you’re planning on redoing your entire landscape, your best bet for a healthy, luscious lawn is to use new seeds.
Always mow the lawn on a short setting when overseeding. The thinner coverage offers more space for the grass seed to take root in the soil. When reseeding a lawn, however, you may need to remove your old turf altogether.
Common options include Kentucky bluegrass, fescue, and ryegrass. Choose based on climate and lawn usage.
The best grass type for shady areas depends on your region, your preferences, and your yard’s microclimate. Overall, the best cool-season grass for shade is ryegrass or tall fescue, while the best warm-season grass for shade is St. Augustine. But again, this can depend on what you’re looking for in the grass. The best grass for your shady yard might be one that looks good to you, one that tolerates high foot traffic, or grass with other characteristics that make it fit your lawn needs.
