Q: Can you hydroseed over old grass?

• <div><p>Hydroseeding over an existing lawn is possible, but certain adjustments are necessary since the process is for bare soil. Hydroseed mix is usually very thick, which helps protect the seeds during germination. If you have existing grass on your site and still want to hydroseed, it's better to use a finer <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/choosing-right-mulch-your-garden.htm">mulch mixture</a> when spraying. A finer mulch mix means the seeds can root into existing soil without suffocating the existing grass.</p></div>

Q: What types of fertilizers or treatments are recommended for lawns?

• <div><p>Choosing fertilizers: slow-release for steady nutrients, organic for eco-friendliness, or specific blends for soil deficiencies or grass types.</p></div>

Q: Can I just throw grass seed down on existing lawn?

• <div><p>You can try that, but it isn't likely to yield results. It's like watering potted plants without putting the seeds in. Most of the tossed grass seeds sit on top of the soil or existing grass blades and never germinate. The seeds need to make it into the soil, just like growing a potted plant. The best way to accomplish this is to aerate your lawn first, then overseed.</p></div>

Q: How much should I water my lawn after aeration?

• <div><p>Watering the lawn after aeration is crucial for getting the most benefits out of it. Not watering the lawn enough will cause the efforts of aeration to be in vain. Light and frequent watering will prevent the soil and grass seeds from drying out, but too much watering can create a muddy mess and wash the seeds away. Watering twice a day is a good benchmark.</p></div>

Q: Is there a bad time to aerate your lawn?

• <div><p>Yes! Aerating your lawn during its dormancy period&mdash;usually over winter and early spring&mdash;can cause a disturbance that the grass may not easily recover from. Instead, you should aerate your lawn during its peak growth period, usually in the late summer or early fall (though with some variation based on specific grass type).</p></div>

Daniel and his crew did an excellent job. They were very professional and courteous. Several trenches were dug but the job site was cleaned and restore back to the original shape as much as possible. The system works perfectly. I highly recommend T-Squared for irrigation systems.

Jay's Tree Service used a Spider Lift to remove a large tree located, in a difficult place to reach, in my back yard. They protected the turf with mats that the lift could travel over as it moved across the lawn. No damage was done to my lawn. They cleaned up all of the debris before leaving....

Excellent job. They mow the lawn in different directions each time (diagonal one time, back and forth the next) which is a good thing. They have been doing my lawn mowing and gutter cleaning/repairs for several years.
