Questions
How do I care for my new lawn?
Follow our watering schedules, especially for seeded lawns. We inspect for bare spots and re-seed free of charge if needed. Apply slow-release fertilizer after one month.
Why should I install a sprinkler system?
Sprinkler systems ensure consistent watering during dry summers, saving time and water with efficient technology. Controllers and rain sensors optimize usage and reduce bills.
When is the best time to install a lawn?
Seeded lawns work best from March to November. Sod can be installed year-round except during snow or saturated ground conditions.
What are the differences between seeding, hydroseeding, and sod?
Sod offers instant results but higher cost. Hydroseeding balances aesthetics and price. Seeding is economical but requires more maintenance and initial care.
