"I found Luis Zapata with Aqua Irrigation on Angie’s list, and I must say that Luis far exceeded my expectations. Luis arrived early completed the job quickly and professionally. The cost was far less than I expected. I highly recommend hiring Aqua Irrigation for all of your Irrigation needs. It is refreshing to know there are still honest people out there who do a great job at a fair price."

"We needed a total audit of our sprinkler system due to landscape construction we had done over the years. Heads needed to be changed and moved and a new water line to one of the zones needed to be replaced. I made an appointment with Luis the owner of Aqua Irrigation who came to the appointment on time and never requested a different time because he was too busy or it didn’t work for him. He said he wants to run the current system to see what exactly was going on with it. I was apprehensive at first because I felt water was just going to flood everything but I understood he needed to know what exactly was going on and what was needed to fix everything. He tested everything and gave me a quote then and there so I didn’t have to wait for it. We set the appointment up for the work to be done and he showed up on time once again. He ran a new water line to one of the zones, changed numerous sprinkler heads that I knew needed replacement, and moved heads to proper locations based on the new changes to the landscape. The price was very reasonable. Someone else I had come to give me an estimate didn’t physically check the system and had told me I’d likely need a total replacement of the system. This obviously would’ve cost us much more. I found Luis to be professional, personable, honest, and knowledgeable. We were very happy with the work and would definitely recommend Aqua Irrigation. We’ve added them as our”go to” lawn irrigation service provider."

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

This depends on the type of grass seed, as some types do better in different environmental conditions. Cool-season grasses go dormant during the summer months when the soil temperature exceeds 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Once exposed to regular doses of heat, the germination rates decline, with seedling death not far behind. 

As for warm-season seeds, they come from tropical parts of the world and thrive in heat. They actively grow in warm air temperatures between 70 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and they prefer soil temperatures between 65 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Once temperatures dip and frost rolls in, if you don’t store them properly, warm-season grass seeds will die quickly.

Speeding up grass seed germination is possible, but it requires quite a bit of extra work and commitment. Keeping the soil moist is key, but here are a few other tried-and-true methods for growing your new grass as quickly as possible:

  • Mist grass up to eight times per day to keep the soil moist.

  • Purchase a moisture-retaining seed coating for your grass seeds.

  • Amend soil that is compacted or in the wrong pH range.

  • Choose the right grass seed for your area’s climate and soil conditions.

  • Avoid planting on windy days or during periods of extreme rain or drought.

If your lawn and general landscape are struggling, consider calling a local landscape specialist to suggest lawn amendments, local plants, and hardscape changes to boost the long-term health of your outdoor space. While you may be able to take on small projects yourself—such as reseeding your lawn or testing the soil—a professional can help you build a plan to bring a struggling yard back to life quickly.

Routine lawn care costs between $50 and $250 per service, with an average of around $100. Most homeowners need one service per week through the spring and summer, and many switch to snow removal services in the winter. The price you’ll pay will depend on a few different factors:

  • Size of your lawn

  • Complexity of your lawn layout and obstructions

  • Requested services 

  • Home’s location

  • How quickly your grass grows

It costs $1,500 on average to hydroseed a 1/2-acre lawn professionally. DIY hydroseeding costs about $300 to $500 for the machine rental, plus the cost of your seed, mulch, and fertilizer. Often, it makes sense to hire a local lawn seeding service to hydroseed for you to ensure the best coverage and growth.
