"The front yard of my townhouse was a mess. I had mostly weeds and dirt and a burning bush and tree that was out of control. Juilo and his crew came in and within two days, removed the burning bush, trimmed the remaining bushes, trimmed back the tree and installed a beautiful retaining wall, with river stone and perennials, and added new sod. My front lawn is now beautiful, thanks to ET. General Contractor, Inc. I highly recommend them for your landscaping project!"

"The crew was meticulous and hardworking. But what this vendor has that none of the other lawn services have is a knowledgeable and creative master Gardner on staff. As an MG myself, I love working with someone who was actually appreciative and expert in her horticultural knowledge. If you just want to whack the hell out of your lawn go with one of the other companies. This one is for people who want something far more valuable than an ordinary yard."

"I contacted Woods home services to give me an estimate of cost to install a new irrigation system at my home. They were the only company to respond within a day. The other companies took almost a week to get back with me. Jim (the owner) gave me a proposal within the same week and he always responded to my questions. I found the proposal to be a good price along with many options for add ons. He was willing to make accommodations for my system since I discovered that my well pump is only 7gpm and my yard is very large. Ultimately, I decided my well pump could not handle the pressure needed to effectively water my lawn at this time, when it is time for me to change the well pump I will call Woods to install the sprinklers. I would recommend this company mainly because of the response times and effective communications."

"The quality of the work by Ronco over the past 15+ years has been outstanding and the entire staff has been very easy to work with and super friendly! If we were moving to a home that has a lawn, it would be a no brainer for us to install a system and service from Ronco Irrigation!! Cannot recommend this company enough!!"

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

Although these terms sound similar and are sometimes used interchangeably, overseeding and reseeding your lawn are very different processes. Overseeding, the simpler of the two, involves a few steps to restore thinned or patchy grass by raking, aerating, and seeding uneven areas of turf to promote regrowth.

Reseeding a lawn is a more drastic and involved process, often necessary if the lawn is diseased, more than a third dead, or very overgrown with weeds. Unlike overseeding, it requires removing most of the existing lawn and starting a new one from scratch, a much bigger and more time-consuming job.

Properly preparing the soil for planting grass seed may include applying fertilizer several weeks before spreading the seed if you plan to overseed the lawn. However, in most cases involving a brand-new lawn, spreading a starter fertilizer along with the grass seed will give it the best chance of taking root quickly and growing strong.

Choosing the right grass seed and planting it at the right time are the most important factors in establishing fast-growing grass. You also need adequate water, sunshine, and nutrients. To speed up the growth process, you can implement some tips and tricks, including watering it deeply and frequently, and using an iron-rich fertilizer to boost its appearance.

Soaking grass seeds in water before seeding is called pre-germinating. It’s not necessary but can be very helpful in some cases. Some grasses like are very slow to germinate, and basic seeding on the ground is unlikely to be effective—that’s especially true of cool season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass, rye grasses, and Bermuda grass. Soaking these seeds in a bag or bin of water for one to four days beforehand can give the grass the start it needs to survive.

There are several best practices you can do to keep your lawn looking healthy. Knowing when to water grass is among the most important. Having your sprinkler timer set to early morning is best because it gives your grass and plants enough time to absorb water before the sun and wind can evaporate it. To maximize a sprinkler’s impact, aerate your lawn once or twice per year. Doing this achieves better absorption and stronger root systems for your grass.
