"Definitely a good job for the price and they came on dates and times as announced! They know what they are doing. Until the contract was signed they also replied immediately and we did fair negotiations. Me personally, I would like to have also a bit more pro-active communication after the contract was signed. Some examples: 1. I had to confirm with them the day before if they still come as discussed earlier 2. A partial payment was agreed after day 1 and although I even asked the day after proactive to get the invoice but didnâ t get it. Only got the total invoice after the entire job was done. 3. After signing the contract I sent an email with technical questions which remained unanswered. Even after contacting them by phone and afterwards resending that mentioned email no reply. 4. Same after the installation as there was a wiring issue with a flow meter. They said, they will check with the supplier to fix that but after not hearing anything from them after two days I made my own research and did the wiring by myself and send them over the link. Me personally, since I am also working in Sales for B2B goods I would like to have more communication since the above mentioned topics are nothing difficult to do but it gives the client a better feeling! The lawn was a little destroyed after the job but I donâ t blame the company for it as it was raining heavily the two weeks before doing the job and all was muddy in my backyard. Big plus for them besides the price is also that they use an accounting program with web interface, so that scheduling, invoicing and payment can be done online and you can go into your account and pull out e.g. old invoices! I also like that they are a very small company and are therefore focused on getting contracts and jobs done. Like this pricing is super fair and negotiable compared to bigger companies who also do commercial landscaping, etc. where then private clients are only in the second row. And most important: I did like their job they did! On time and when they were delayed they informed upfront and I was surprised how quick this was done! Besides the customer relationship management can be a bit improved after they got the contract I highly recommend Joey and his team!"

"Hired American Lawn to winterize our sprinkler system based on their good reviews. The tech was very friendly and knowledgeable and took the time to explain what he was doing and some things we should address in the spring. We will definitely be calling on them to activate our system."

"An amazing experience for my landscape lighting. From sales to scheduling to installation... All around a terrific experience and one that we’ve become used to with Tanzer. In the past, they've installed and modified our irrigation to perfection as well. The installers didn’t make a complete mess of the property, especially when they were digging the trenches. The sod was put back nicely, which is a HUGE deal for me. And they took their shoes off to go into the basement after working in mulch, grass and dirt. If you're looking for a landscape lighting and/or irrigation professional, they're the BEST!"

"I was having  a problem with water leaking out into the yard from an unknown source. Called several companies (I open the system myself) who said it was probably a defective valve or leaking manifold causing the issue. I asked for a ball park number which ranged from $200 to $325 "depending on what would have to be replaced". I called Quality Irrigation who took the time to ask specific questions on the phone. He came up with the same diagnosis but said with any luck it may be repairable without taking apart the manifold. He came out the next day, literally took the valve apart to find that a stainless steel nut was stuck in the diaphragm causing the value to slow leak and flood the yard. He reassembled the valve, boot up the system and it worked like a charm. He charged me just for his time, $85. I now have a new sprinkler service company! Thank you..."

"

The booking was easy and the tech was on time. He did what I was expecting, to open the system up. However, while a number of the heads were not turning and would need to replaced, he provided me and my wife with an estimate for $700 to replace 7 total heads!! He said, because we have well water, they'd recommend using heads that include steel, so they are $65 each, plus he added $15 to "lower" the heads based on newer standards with sprinklers. This was way more than I wanted to spend and also $400+ more than an estimate I then received from another company to do the same work using sprinklers of the same quality but not replacing all 7, instead replacing just 4. The cost per sprinkler head was more in the $35-$40 range.

I'm sure Royal irrigation knows what they are doing as far as sprinklers, and I'm trying to give them the benefit of the doubt, but the second estimate has me thinking that they are overpriced. They also didn't seem to want to work with us to find something that worked in our budget, unlike other vendors.

"I love my gorgeous backyard and could not be happier. Craig looked at my sad backyard which lost 7 trees in recent storms. And now I have the most beautiful backyard I could possibly imagine. I highly recommend. It is Craig's artistic design vision and expertise that sets him above and beyond. After talking to me about what I wanted, Craig formed a design vision in his head that was artistic as well as practical. Craig gave me my privacy back with beautiful trees and plantings and resolved my water problems by installing drainage channels. He removed eyesores including an old shed . He gave me the rock gardens and pathway that I wanted and installed drip irrigation systems for easy maintenance plus lights around the patio to highlight the beauty of everything he did. Everywhere you look now is beautiful."

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

Buffalo grass is not a dense grass, so weeds can grow between the buffalo grass plants. However, as long as you don’t overwater your lawn, weeds have a hard time growing. If you do notice weeds, you can use granular herbicides that are safe for buffalo grass in early and late summer.

Buffalo grass spreads through both underground roots and above-ground stolons. The widespread root and stolon system makes up for this grass’s overall lack of density. It’s a hearty grass, so it spreads on its own slowly, especially considering that most of the male (no staminate) varieties of grass are sterile. You may think about over-maintaining your lawn to encourage growth, but this would have the opposite effect.

Although these terms sound similar and are sometimes used interchangeably, overseeding and reseeding your lawn are very different processes. Overseeding, the simpler of the two, involves a few steps to restore thinned or patchy grass by raking, aerating, and seeding uneven areas of turf to promote regrowth.

Reseeding a lawn is a more drastic and involved process, often necessary if the lawn is diseased, more than a third dead, or very overgrown with weeds. Unlike overseeding, it requires removing most of the existing lawn and starting a new one from scratch, a much bigger and more time-consuming job.

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.

Orchard grass seeds can spread quite easily, traveling with the wind as well as birds and animals. Common grass seed packets, especially in the popular tall fescue variety, may contain the occasional orchard grass seed by accident. Always purchase high-quality turf grass seed without "other crop seeds" mixed in.
