"Project started and finished on time. Installers were very professional with no noticeable damage to lawn. This crew of three was well organized and supervised and watching them work gave me great confidence that the job would be done right. Please consider getting the amazing wireless controllers. Very satisfied with this job and Pacific. I honestly don’t think you will find a better company to install sprinklers. Price was competitive."

"From the start, Automatic Irrigation were professional and courteous. They offered a very competitive price (the best by a good margin) and followed it up with high quality work. One of the technicians who did the install has been with the company for almost 30 years, and the care he and his crew took in installing our system showed. They took care of even the smallest details, like sweeping up the small debris from having to drill through the wall for the water line, and properly sealing the hole afterward. The controller and components used were of the highest quality. I could have paid more and still been happy, but again, even price-wise, they were the best. Please feel confident that you will be in good hands going with Automatic Irrigation. I am happy to recommend them to you."

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

Yes, Bahia grass spreads on its own thanks to its short stolon system. However, it might not seem like your Bahia grass spreads well due to its slow growth. Bahia grass takes around 3 to 4 weeks to germinate and an additional two weeks to grow thicker. 

During this time, fast-growing, competitive weeds may pop up, so weed your lawn to give your Bahia grass a chance to grow. This grass can take up to two years to become established. Once established, Bahia grass typically does well in suitable climates.

No, you don’t need to edge your lawn every time you mow it, but you can if that’s your preference. Some homeowners edge their lawns weekly, every other week, monthly, or at the start of a new season (more likely for those with landscaping material like brick, plastic, or metal edging). It’s up to you how often you edge, and it depends on how quickly your grass grows and how crisp you want your edge lines to be.

Lawns can be high maintenance, and therefore require regular spending if you’re not up for doing certain lawn care tasks yourself. But you can save time and money on lawn maintenance by mulching, composting, and planting species native to your area, so they keep alive with less ongoing TLC from you.

You can leave grass clippings on the lawn, depending on their length. You don’t want to completely cover new grass and block it from sunlight, or encourage moss crowd out the more delicate grass. However, short clippings are usually fine to leave on the lawn. In some cases, they can be beneficial: Clippings can be a source of fertilizer and help protect the ground as young grass blades develop.

The growth of tall fescue grass often causes clumps of grass in your lawn. Avoid pulling up the clumps, as it won’t effectively remove them. Instead, dig out clumps and their roots when you notice them early in the growing season. Herbicides can also treat grass clumps, but they can also affect other plants you might not want to kill, so use them sparingly and always follow manufacturer instructions.
