My lawn is in bad shape. I need to find a company I can afford to reset/adjust/replace faulty and insufficient sprinkler heads. Any suggestions?

Tom, are you certain it's a watering issue and not something related to the lawn itself? (bugs, weeds taking over, fertilization, etc.)

Tom I lost mine to mole crickets last year. Had to have 1200 sq,' replaced. You should have your lawn checked for same.

We lost most of the front of our front lawn to faulty sprinkler heads. My husband fixed the sprinkler heads, but the lawn didn't recover. Massy just 3 weeks ago took out the old sod and put in new for us. The lawn is looking real good now. I think they may also be able to help you with your sprinkler heads, but not sure. They did come out and help us adjust our watering schedule. Good luck.

Yes, Massey has a guy who, for a one time charge, will do the sprinklers.

We have a contract with Massey and they come quarterly to maintain the irrigation system. (Feb-May-Aug-Nov) I also like that they have online access to your records for all services you have so you can go back and review when they've visited and what they've done. We had two incidents of a problem scheduling the sprinkler recently and even those calls were recorded. I don't know how their prices compare to others, but we like them, their responsiveness and the peace of mind we've gained from their services.

Pray for rain.
No sod can survive on one watering a week. Maybe we could get Niagara Bottling to donate some of their free water for our lawns. |

Agree with Redwitch. James Baumgartner is good. Have used him a couple of times and have been very pleased.

Tom,
Have you called you original Landscaper that installed the irrigation system for their advise first? Have you had a lawn service for the last year or been doing this yourself? Were you not have having problems with a Huge water bill last year? Is there a leak or something not right to your system? I am afraid to ask what it would cost to replace Sod! |

Don't laugh. I had a neighbor in NY who painted his lawn. A shame TV doesn't supply Astro-turf as an option. There is another product that looks like grass and has texture to it. Think of the money you'd save on mowing, fertilizing and watering.
