"Jeff was TERRIFIC! I'm so glad we found New Leaf Landscaping. He was very knowledgeable and friendly and took the time to understand our system. We have a few upgrades planned when he comes back to open the irrigation system in the spring and are looking forward to his continued service."

"I have had nothing but the best service from Jo's Irrigation, so I was disappointed when I read the other reviews. I've never submitted a report before, and have been a member of Angie's List on and off for years in various locations throughout the country. Joe installed my sprinkler system several years ago, and he comes out twice yearly -  to winterize the system, and start it back up in the spring."

Customers say: Quality work

"Irrigation Rescue was very professional, responded quickly, and cost effective. I was very pleased with their service. Jerry diagnosed then repaired my system. I had a zone of my irrigation system that wouldn't shut off. He was able to locate the failed valve and replace it which had my system fixed quickly. I would highly recommend irrigation rescue and will contact them for all my future irrigation needs."

"Bert from Hampton Roads Irrigation was excellent to work with. Every detail was discussed and his crew was very professional and worked tirelessly to complete my irrigation system install. When installation was complete, system operation was clearly and completely explained and they thoroughly cleaned up my yard of debris related to their work."

"Nothing short of excellent. Landon was extremely educated, informative, prompt, and did exactly what he said he was going to do. He showed up on time and got my irrigation system up and running as if it was never down in the first place. Very fair price and outstanding quality work. Will definitely be using Smithfield irrigation from here on out. He also informed me he does full scale landscaping work as well which is always a plus as a one stop shop for all of my landscaping needs to get my yard looking pristine. 10/10 recommend using him for any and all things landscaping related!"

Lawn Irrigation questions, answered by experts

If you use a starter fertilizer designed for this purpose, you can overseed and fertilize at the same time. If you opt to use a fertilizer for established grass or one with a weed control component, it's best to wait at least four to eight weeks after seed application to allow the new grass to take hold and establish itself. 

Grass varieties such as tall fescue, zoysia, Bermuda, Bahia, and centipede grow best in sandy soil. These types of grass are drought resistant, so they help retain water and nutrients more easily. Consult a local lawn care company to determine the best type of grass to plant in your sandy lawn.

Properly secured bird netting is the best option to cover your grass seed with. It creates a minor moisture barrier that can help seeds sprout, and it’s a great way to keep birds away from your seeds. A cheaper, lower-maintenance option is hay or mulch, but these can change the look of your lawn and require cleanup in the case of straw.

The best time to plant grass seed depends on your local climate and whether you have cool-season or warm-season grass.

For cool-season grasses (like tall fescue), the ideal time to seed is late summer or early fall (typically August and September). During this period, the soil is still warm from the summer, but the air is cooler, creating optimal conditions for germination and root establishment before winter. There is also less competition from weeds. Spring is a secondary option, but cooler soil temperatures, the risk of a late frost, and less time for the grass to mature before summer heat can make it less successful.

For warm-season grasses (like St. Augustine), the best time to plant is from late spring through mid-summer (typically May and June), when temperatures are consistently between 75 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit.

In general, it is best to avoid seeding during winter or early spring, as cold soil and air can prevent seeds from germinating. For recommendations tailored to your specific grass type and climate, consider consulting a local lawn care professional.

Always mow the lawn on a short setting when overseeding. The thinner coverage offers more space for the grass seed to take root in the soil. When reseeding a lawn, however, you may need to remove your old turf altogether.
