"Not very familiar with irrigation system, the valve was leaking, several heads missing and/or broken. Matt tore down the whole piping system on side of house, replaced with new pipe, fixed all the sprinkler heads, realigned, and even found a massive leak in our flower bed. Excellent work, quick and efficient, the Bill was even emailed for no contact service. Great Job Matt and JSS services, we will call for service when we need it again without hesitation."

"Jim and Don did a great job installing a new system under difficult conditions. I have lots of tree roots and an existing lawn in the back yard. They made sure they cut the roots back. They were on time and got the job done when they said they would. Only issue I have is that the soil was not put back into the holes where they had to dig to install the nozzle heads. Price included a rain sensor and a controller accessible by smartphone."

Lawns FAQs, answered by experts

It’s possible to go too far trimming your bushes or hedges. If you overdo it, you may kill the plant. Stick to trimming about a third of the branches on your bush each season to prevent over-cutting. If your hedge is overgrown and needs a heavy trim, avoid cutting off the main branches that make up the top of the bush.

There are several ways to decompose yard waste quickly. The first step is to move all debris into a compost bin or pile. From there, microorganisms, bacteria, and insects will break down the yard waste into compost. To speed things up, shred the waste into smaller pieces, add live worms to the pile, or introduce nitrogen-rich compost accelerators like grass clippings, coffee grounds, and manure. Turn the compost over every few days. This process, called aerating, allows oxygen to get in and accelerate decomposition.

In general, expect to mulch your leaves about once or twice every fall. You want there to be a decent amount of leaves on the ground, but not too much where it’s difficult for the mower to cut through.

Several tools exist that can help remove unwanted grass. The one you choose depends greatly on how much you need to remove and how hard you'd like to work. A sod or turf cutter is the fastest method while using a shovel is labor-intensive and much slower. You may also need a garden rake, tiller, and wheelbarrow. 

Don’t pick up dirt after aerating. Even though it's tempting because soil cores are incredibly unsightly, these cores and the dirt they leave behind are ecologically important. This is what keeps your grass looking beautiful and growing healthily. The soil cores need two to three weeks to decompose, but you can swat them with a rake if their natural shape bothers you.
