We are committed to excellence in every aspect of our business. We uphold a standard of integrity bound by fairness, honesty and personal responsibility. Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade, combined with ability, is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests and make their concerns the basis of our business

"I can't say enough about the professionalism and integrity of this company. We have had affordable irrigation do two separate irrigation projects for us now. each project came with its own challenges but this company was able to come in do the required work and barley leave any trace that they had even worked within our flower and shrub beds. Attention to detail was unbelievable. I cannot say how happy we are with our project, the cost was better than any other contractor we contacted even five years after he completed our first project. if you want a professional job, low cost, skilled work and attention to detail affordable irrigation is the company you want to hire."

Craig's Mowing and landscaping is the premier Capital District landscaping company. Based out of Clifton Park, NY, our elite team of hardscape engineers serves clients from Albany through Saratoga, Latham and Troy. Our goal is to create exceptional landscapes which will last for years to come, while at the same time backing our service with ongoing support and guidance, at a competitive rate.

"Craig did landscaping and installed a paver patio at my residence in which they did a phenomenal job. However I also had a lawn irrigation system installed which is where things went down hill. The gentlemen who installed it was friendly and on time but he installed the solenoid valve incorrectly for the drip hose on my arborvitaes. He had the on/off wires crossed. Although the system said the unit was running, no water was being supplied to them. They of course ended up dying. I thought maybe it was the soil. So I had the arborvitaes replaced by Craig for a few. These died too. Today I decided to replace the valve and that is when I discovered the solenoid wires were crossed. No testing was ever done on the irrigation system. I’m a bit disappointed in the oversight. Otherwise I do recommend this business for all other work. Stay away from lawn irrigation."

"AJ Lawn Sprinklers put in my irrigation system 25 years ago. I have tried SEVERAL times to find a different company to service me ever since but I have been told other companys will not touch a system they did not install so I have been stuck with this HORRIBLE company ever since! Every single year I have dealt with young inexperienced sub par employees that have cost me money and have done a TERRIBLE job and this company knows that and does NOTHING for the customer but continually up charges for the mistakes THEY created! Don’t walk…..RUN the other way from this company. I will have to learn to work this out myself or let it go rather than deal with this inept fumbling bumbling company again! I will not be extorted for one more red cent!"

"The initial meeting was great, the owner showed up on time, fully explained all that would be completed in detail. Within 2 days we had a written contract and were scheduled. They showed up as scheduled with a full crew and installed our walkway beautifully. We are very pleased with the product, the professional install and manners of the company. Now for the down side. We were left with numerous gouges in our lawn and the cobble stones that were slid toward our foundation were not spread back out to the walkway. The gouges and ruts left by their equipment required us to hire our own landscapers to repair and reseed. They left quite a mess of a well maintained property, and never even laced New seed or attempt to repair damage they created. We love our new paving project, but feel they could have repaired what they tore up. We fully understand that construction projects will create some disruption, but feel this was excess and there was no offer to repair it. We would call on them again, but cautiously on how much damage."

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

Yes, aerating your lawn will help grass grow. Pulling out soil plugs or applying liquid aeration solution allows more air to circulate around the roots. A well-aerated and hydrated root system is the foundation your lawn needs to grow green and lush. Even if your lawn is healthy, annual aeration will keep it beautiful each season.

Technically, yes—and you may have some successful growth—but this isn’t the ideal way to fill in sparse areas. By clearing leaves and debris, amending the soil, and aerating it properly before you lay the seeds, you’re providing the most ideal conditions for them to germinate.

Break up hard dirt in your yard with popular methods such as core aeration or manual aeration with a spade, mini excavator, or pitchfork. You can also alter your soil to keep it from compacting in the future. Adding compost, groundcover plants, or aeration granules—preferably made of organic materials—can also soften your ground and encourage water saturation.

Buffalo grass does not turn green as early in the spring as some other grasses. If you have a heavily shaded yard, buffalo grass may not receive enough sunlight to thrive. It’s not as dense as some other grass varieties, so it may not feel as comfortable on bare feet.

Water your yard a little more deeply after a drought for about two weeks (while still avoiding overwatering). Continue to water in the early morning hours before 10 a.m. You'll also want to invest in some high-quality fertilizer to get more nutrients to your roots and help them grow back stronger and quicker. Look up your grass and soil type, or do a soil test, to see what type of fertilizer you need.
