We have 25 years of experience in installing and servicing lawn irrigation. We value our customers and family. We are a family owned and operated business that is large enough to get large jobs done and small enough to offer one on one customer service. Our app allows for easy scheduling and payment with great open communication on arrival times. Let us earn your business.

"Bill and his team were absolute professionals from start to finish. Even though I couldn’t be there in person during the project, Bill kept me updated with regular progress reports, which gave me complete peace of mind. The team did a fantastic job remodeling our bathrooms and went above and beyond by fixing a leak caused by our upstairs bathroom. On top of that, they also painted two bedrooms beautifully. The attention to detail, communication, and quality of work were exceptional. I highly recommend Bill and his team to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality work and I know I'm definitely keeping his number on hand for any future projects!"

OCR, inc. is an owner operated, local business. Our organization performs a combination of in house and subcontracted work to a high standard of quality . Work can be done on an hourly basis or for a quoted price. We pride ourselves in having the ability to lead customers through jobs ranging from small maintenance issues to large, new & renovation construction or landscape projects.

"After coming out to inspect the job, they told me they'd send out other contractors to get an accurate quote ready for me. I required both irrigation fixes along with lawn leveling due to DTE trucks damage. They did send out someone who checked my system, then a follow up with another contractor to check the grading. After which they ghosted me. Tried to contact them, even provided missing information to get the quote done, but never heard back."

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.
