"David Brainard (Brainard's Greenscapes) designed our back yard, which was nothing but sand and restored the front yard, which needed a makeover. The job involved leveling the sand, placing two colors of rock in various areas, revamping the irrigation with river rock, designing a flagstone sidewalk with circular patio, and designed two grass areas out of faux grass with steel edging around the grass sections. He also installed a drip irrigation system including a controller in the garage. David is very responsive, courteous, timely and full of ideas. He also is extremely knowledgeable about plants. He answers the phone immediately and follows up promptly. If you have a problem after the job is finished, David responds just as promptly as he did when the job began. He organized his crew (at times up to seven), and they, too, were very polite and courteous. They worked all day in the hot sun for six days. His workers were professional and did an outstanding job. The landscape looks beautiful. We are extremely pleased with the yard and would hire David Brainard again. We highly recommend him if your yard has any type of landscaping needs. Shirley and Duane"

"Bryan and his team did an amazing job on my backyard. They handled the installation of natural grass, irrigation system, rock and brick. Bryan and Elio were awesome throughout the whole process and got it done in a very timely manner. The price for the job was great and affordable, and the value of the job was spectacular. I will be recommending Bryan and his company to all of my friends and family, and will be using them in the future for my next projects."

"Fantastic. The crew showed up on time and worked hard for 4 days. They were extremely professional, they did everything they promised and more, and in the end, the irrigation system turned out to be great. It was not an easy project because the home had a older system that was a mess. I will hire this company the next time I need ANY landscaping work."

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

Slit seeding takes about two to three hours for a medium or large lawn. Even bigger lawns or commercial properties can be seeded in about one day. From there, it will take about two weeks for the grass to start growing and another six weeks for the grass to establish stronger roots.

Yes, you should water your grass after seeding it. During the first couple of weeks after laying the seed, you should water the lawn two or three times per day for 10 to 15 minutes each session. After that, you can switch to 20- or 30-minute watering sessions every other day.

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.

While it may seem easier and faster to throw grass seed onto dirt and call it a day, that method likely won’t yield great results. Preparing your lawn for reseeding or seeding by clearing rocks and debris, aerating, removing existing grass, or leveling it. You should also plan out the best time to plant your grass based on its type and your location to ensure it grows well. So, if you want your grass to grow successfully, put more time and effort into the project than throwing seed on the ground.

Properly preparing the soil for planting grass seed may include applying fertilizer several weeks before spreading the seed if you plan to overseed the lawn. However, in most cases involving a brand-new lawn, spreading a starter fertilizer along with the grass seed will give it the best chance of taking root quickly and growing strong.
