"The crew from ACE was on time, and as I was not able to be at home during the job;  Jim set it up that his crew would call me 45 mins prior to finishing,  so I could get home to pay them.  It worked out great!   The lawn and beds are totally free of debris.   Thanks to all at ACE

"Classic Drainage did a fantastic job to solve my drainage problems from my gutter downspouts.  So much water was draining around my house foundation, that the ground was perpetually saturated with water during the summer.  They dug a trench from the corner downspouts, connected the pipes to the downspouts, and laid the PVC pipes away from the house to drain the water off of my property.  After filling in the trench, they seeded and landscaped the work.  No more problems and everything is working great.  They provided a complete package and were very diligent in avoiding the established lawn irrigation system.  A few pipes were damaged, but they were fixed the same day.  Everything went very smoothly, professionally, and in a short time.  I would highly recommend this provider to anyone needing solutions to their drainage problems.

"The job went smoothly. The contractor responded promptly to my inquiry about the project & provided a detailed estimate in a timely fashion. Many of the companies I contacted about this job either did not respond to my inquiry or never delivered a bid. Emerald really stood out in this regard, which says a lot about the contractors in this line of work. The estimated date to begin the job was pushed back by around a month, but I was warned this might happen. The crew that did the job worked hard. Their English language skills did not match their stonework skills, so I had to relay my questions about it through Margie in Emerald's office, who is quite responsive. The final product looks good. A neighbor who oversees construction projects for a living looked it over & said it was done properly, so I assume it will not fall over like its predecessor. I would definitely hire this company again."

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

Choosing between sod and seed depends on your budget, timeline, and maintenance preferences.

Sod:

  • Pros: Provides an instant, lush lawn and immediate curb appeal. It's more resistant to weeds and erosion, can be installed any time during the growing season, and offers a consistent appearance.

  • Cons: Has a higher upfront cost, typically $0.90 to $1.80 more per square foot than seed. It offers fewer grass varieties and must be installed immediately upon delivery.

Seed:

  • Pros: Less expensive upfront, making it a budget-friendly option. It offers a wider variety of grass types and is easier for a DIY installation.

  • Cons: Takes much longer to establish, potentially up to two years for a full lawn. It requires more maintenance, including regular weed control, and is more difficult to cultivate.

Ultimately, if you want a beautiful lawn quickly and have a larger budget, sod is an excellent choice. If you are patient, want to save money, and prefer a wider selection of grass types, seeding may be the better option.

There are plenty of products to help green up your grass. Try an iron supplement spray or fertilizer that is rich in nitrogen. You can also apply a thin layer of compost on top of your lawn at the beginning of spring to give the grass a nutrition boost, which helps it achieve that bright color you are looking for. 

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.

Seeding a lawn offers several advantages over laying sod, primarily related to cost and variety. Seeding is less expensive upfront, making it a more budget-friendly option. It also provides a much broader selection of grass varieties, allowing you to choose the best type for your specific climate and soil. Additionally, seeding allows grass roots to establish directly in the native soil, and the installation process is typically less labor-intensive than sodding. However, it's important to consider that sod offers better immediate protection against weeds and erosion.

Hiring a professional lawn care service is generally worth the cost, especially if you have limited free time. Lawn care professionals can ensure your lawn receives the vital nutrients it needs to grow and thrive, guaranteeing a healthy, beautiful, and well-maintained yard with professional-looking results. While some homeowners enjoy doing the work themselves, hiring a company frees up your schedule. The decision also depends on your budget and whether you already own the necessary lawn equipment, as doing the maintenance yourself can reduce monthly costs. Additionally, many lawn care companies offer other services like snow and leaf removal to keep your property in top shape year-round.
