"They were on time and brought enough people to finish the job in two days. They were also able to notice a few potential issues and we solved them as an addendum to the job (rotting tree sloping land). A year later and my lawn still looks good...with their bi-weekly grass-cutting of course."

"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."

"Great experience. Never used Angi before but made it super easy. Was quoted $5200 for a pool irrigation reroute and repair which I thought was high. Within a day of submitting a need for it, I had contact from Jim and was scheduled only 3 days later. The crew showed up Friday morning at 9ish and finished by 5. Fantastic work. Did exactly what I asked plus cleaned up another zone that helps a lot. Great job to the whole crew. I think the main guy on site was John. He was very attentive. Thanks!!"

"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

Before you put down grass seed, you should cultivate your soil or add two inches of topsoil. You should also put down fertilizer at the same time as your seed to prompt healthy growth. Be sure to water after you put down grass seed, especially for the first two weeks.

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.

Buffalo grass spreads through both underground roots and above-ground stolons. The widespread root and stolon system makes up for this grass’s overall lack of density. It’s a hearty grass, so it spreads on its own slowly, especially considering that most of the male (no staminate) varieties of grass are sterile. You may think about over-maintaining your lawn to encourage growth, but this would have the opposite effect.

Unfortunately, no. Grass seeds need a lot of moisture until they become sprouts, so this is an especially sensitive time. While they'll dry out if they get dehydrated, over-watering creates other problems. The grass seeds don't recover because they can just wash away or even rot, making for low germination rates. The ones that do germinate after being pushed under the soil may start to sprout only to die from lack of sunlight.

You can, like you can put too little down. Sowing too much grass seed can create competition between the seeds for resources (light, water, nutrients) and the seedlings could struggle to grow. When you sow too few, your lawn will come in thin. Your seed product has a recommended seeding rate, so use that as your guide.
