Upon installation of a lawn irrigation system, you will receive 2 seasonal service contract, which includes the start up and shut down of your system, a fertile system which fertilizes your lawn(fee), repels bugs and rust, also a hose enclose which hides your garden hose for those small jobs (fee).
"Installed our system 6 years ago, the system has worked well since install. I would just say get everything in writing and make sure to ask what the life time warranty means. Also check on when they can do you turn on and turn off they are very limited! Where we live they only do one specific day per week so if you cannot be home on that day you will be in trouble twice a year to be home for them."

CAT Contracting, Inc. is a national restoration company which operates two divisions. The residential catastrophe division facilitates the sales and restoration processes for homeowners after catastrophic storm events. The Commercial Division services large low slope membrane systems including but not limited to TPO, EPDM, Spray Foam, PVC, Metal and Hydro-Stop
"The original project manager was good. He installed the roof, had a few hiccups, but I was satisfied until 1 1/2 years later when I got 4 leaks. Additionally, some aluminium was supposed to be installed and it still hasn't been installed. I have been calling since March 2019 and still no one has come out to fix the leaks. I only have a couple of months left until warranty expires which I'm figuring they are waiting for. I've called & asked the owner Matt to call me, b ut 5 days later and still no call. A roofer is only as good as his repairs. My advise is don't use Cat. They have no one within 50 miles to repair my roof. I'm very disappointed as I first thought they had done a good job. I had seen reviews where the owner was very responsive, but not to me."

"John was here to help take care of a well issue. He and another employee were here less than an hour. We were told by John that our bill wouldn’t be close to $900 and they would bill us. We received a bill for over $800 with a $500 dollar labor charge. When I called and spoke with Travis his reason for the high labor charge was they had to “prepare” the tuck and we were charged labor the minute they started loading their truck to come to our home which is a 15 min drive. Travis was rude and stated he doesn’t care about reviews and he has plenty of other customers . I wouldn’t recommend them for anyone or any job due to their outrageous labor charge. Travis is extremely rude and doesn’t need any more customers according to him so I would recommend taking your business elsewhere."

Landscape yard or garden installations FAQs
The optimal planting season for hedges depends on your climate zone, but early spring and fall offer ideal conditions. Spring planting allows roots to establish before summer heat arrives, while fall planting gives plants time to develop root systems before winter dormancy.
In milder climates, winter planting can work well, but avoid periods of extreme temperature or drought regardless of season to give your new hedge the best chance of successful establishment.
Proper spacing depends on the hedge variety and your desired outcome. Most hedge plants perform best when spaced between one and three feet apart. Fast-growing species need more room between plants to accommodate their eventual spread and allow for proper air circulation.
For immediate privacy, you might place plants closer together, but this approach can create competition for nutrients and may affect long-term health. Always check the specific spacing recommendations for your chosen hedge variety.
The time required for a hedge to form an effective privacy screen varies by plant type and initial size. Most hedges take between two and five years to develop full density when started with smaller plants. Fast-growing varieties like privet may establish more quickly, while slower-growing species like boxwood require additional patience.
Starting with larger plants reduces waiting time but increases initial costs. Regular watering, appropriate fertilization, and proper pruning techniques can help accelerate growth and density development.
For rapid privacy screening, consider fast-growing hedge options like privet, which can grow up to three feet annually in ideal conditions. Arborvitae varieties add approximately two feet of height per year and provide excellent year-round screening. Other quick-growing options include certain varieties of cypress and juniper.
While these fast-growing species provide quicker results, they require more frequent maintenance and may have shorter overall lifespans than slower-growing alternatives.
Most residential hedge planting projects don't require permits, but regulations vary by location. Some municipalities enforce height restrictions for hedges, particularly those along property lines or near roadways. If your planned hedge will exceed these height limitations, permits may be necessary.
Additionally, homeowners' association rules might govern hedge placement, species selection, and maintenance standards. Checking local regulations and HOA requirements before planting helps avoid potential complications and expenses.
