Established in 1976, our company has nearly 50 employees with most having at least 20 years of experience in the irrigation and green industry.

"Terrible service and customer service. The technician didn't even bother to check the 3 sprinkler zones in my backyard when he came out to "turn on" my sprinkler system, which I actually turned on. I was charged full price for that service call even though the work was only half done. He also repaired the water faucet on the side of my house, and then lied about the time spent actually performing the work, and of course said the sprinklers that he did actually check needed to be replaced. Judy, the office assistant, was very deceptive in explaining the charges to me prior to scheduling the appointment, and when questioned about being overcharged (saying two people worked on replacing an item for 30 minutes when only one of them worked on it for about 15 minutes. The other guy just stood there and watched, as he was only an apprentice) she adjusted my invoice to a somewhat more reasonable price (but still overpriced) to reflect the actual labor performed after much back and forth. Judy even admitted that she overcharged me when I had my sprinkler winterization done earlier in the year because it was out of season. I had forgotten to have the sprinklers blown out until January. Then Judy threatened to send me to collections because I disputed paying the full sprinkler turn on charge when only half of the sprinklers were actually inspected. I will NEVER use them again, and I suggest no one else does either. It's just mediocre deceptive garbage of a company that is managed by idiots and thieves."

Lawn dethatching services FAQs

Dethatching machines look like lawnmowers but have blades that cut down in crisscrossing motions. This action loosens the thatch, which is then raked up separately and removed. You might see some dethatching machines with rake-like tines. These often do not offer the best experience compared to those with blades.

You should fertilize your lawn after dethatching. This gives the damaged grass a solid nutrient boost to aid quick recovery, helping your lawn to grow back greener and stronger. Fertilizing before dethatching wastes your time, money, and energy and may even damage your lawn.

Yes, dethatching is worth it if you've got a thick thatch layer. Grab a trowel, dig up a small section of soil and grass, and check how thick the thatch layer is. If it's an inch or more, and you're noticing problems like thinning grass, weak, patchy grass, or pale coloring, it could be time to dethatch to restore health and vigor.

The cost to reseed a lawn typically ranges from $400 to $1,800. The total price often depends on the size of your lawn and the type of service needed.
