"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."

Very Impressive 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."

"Company installed a new paver patio and did some irrigation work. Great communication from the time we hired them through completion. Due to weather the project was delayed several days so in installation day at least 5 or 6 workers showed up early. They worked the entire day and completed the project. It looks amazing. I would recommend this company again and again to anyone."

"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 FAQs, 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.

The easiest way to rough up soil to accept grass seed and provide the best opportunity for its growth is to make several passes over the area with a garden tiller and rake away the loosened vegetation and debris. However, in some cases, very hard ground may require using a shovel or pick to break up pieces into smaller chunks that the tiller can handle more easily.

Depending on the species, most fescue grasses thrive in USDA hardiness zones 3 through 8, though some varieties can thrive as far as zone 10. While it’s a cool-season grass, it has the unique ability to adapt and thrive in many different types of climates. For this reason, you'll mostly find fescue grasses throughout the transitional temperature zones of the country.

Yes! Fescue grass is a perennial that naturally regrows every spring. That’s why we recommend planting this grass variety in the spring to jump into the ideal growing and regrowing schedule. Keep in mind that fescue grasses thrive in cooler and transitional areas, so some species do best in moderate climates below 90 and above 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

No, watering dead grass will not bring it back to life. If the grass on your lawn is truly dead, no amount of water will bring it back to life. However, some methods can bring dying grass back to life. Consider aerating, overseeding, or analyzing your soil to get to the root of why the grass is dying.
