"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."

"After receiving bids from 4 other vendors, I selected American Lawn care to remove 6 Giant (120') Maple trees and 4 smaller pine trees from my property in Wappingers Falls, NY. Jason and his crew were extremely professional and utilized all of the most advanced equipment and techniques throughout the dismantle process . Jason is a very effective communicator who takes his business and his reputation seriously. I will be using American Lawn Care in the future and would highly recommend them to anyone. For a personal reference, feel free to contact me directly at [email protected]. Great work guys!"

Lawn Irrigation FAQs, answered by experts

The amount of time it takes for grass to germinate varies depending on the grass species. Even after germination, it’s going to take a while to see grass blades start emerging from soil. Some grasses germinate quickly and emerge after several days of growth (and healthy watering). Others may take up to three weeks to show themselves. Cool-season grasses tend to take the longest to germinate at one month.

Aerating a lawn before seeding it or adding new grass seed is a smart decision. By loosening up compact soil and allowing it to take in more air and water, your seeds will have an easier time establishing roots and growing. Aerating beforehand also means your seeds will have better contact with the soil, so more of your seeds have a chance to germinate. If you do plan to aerate your lawn before seeding, aerate about two days before you plan to start seeding.

Yes, but the best approach is to apply fertilizer well before you actually sprinkle the seeds. Apply fertilizer with an NPK ratio somewhere around 10-10-20, or 10-10-10, depending on soil test results and the type of grass you're planting, about six to eight weeks before planting grass seed. This mix added to loosened soil will give the grass seed its best chance of getting off to a solid start. 

If you throw grass seed on bare spots, some may sprout on the soil’s surface. However, the germination rate will diminish over time because the grass will not be rooted correctly. You may not get desired results if you toss grass seed on bare spots without proper lawn maintenance and cultivation.

If it’s been a few weeks and you haven’t seen anything pop up, double-check your seed packet and make sure you didn’t miss any steps. Did they need cold stratification (putting seeds in the freezer and then transferring to water before planting)? Do they have an exceptionally long germination period? 

 If you’ve followed all of the directions closely, you may just have had a bad batch of seeds. (Sadly, it happens.)
