Conservation is in our name, in our culture, and in our commitment to our clients. Conserva Irrigation® proudly specializes in commercial and residential irrigation services and solutions that help alleviate the billions of gallons of water wasted every day due to irrigation system runoff. When you choose our eco-friendly services, you can save money, conserve water, and maintain a beautiful lawn all at the same time. Did you know that, out of all the water the average home uses every day, more than half of it is consumed by irrigation systems? This means that your sprinkler system likely accounts for more than half the cost of your water bill.

"Had Conserva Irrigation of Ann Arbor coming to my house for an assessment of sprinklers problem. The crew was polite and provided a detailed explanation about the necessary repair - they also informed I would receive a $75 invoice for their visit and later an estimate for the repair. However I received a charge $200 for their visit: $75 for the service call and $125 for their labor. I called their office to better understand the reason for the $200 and I was attended by a lady who was very rude and unable to provide an explanation... and hang up on me during the conversation. Nobody should be treated like this... especially a potential customer."

I offer a complete service for the person who needs spring start ups,system trouble shooting,valve repair,heads moved, clocks reprogrammed, leaks repaired, zones added or removed. I am a full service and reliable company.fair and competative pricing. Quality service with. 18 years of experience.

"Vernon talked a great game but his workmanship was poor. Partway through the project I discovered that the sprinkler lines were not properly buried. Most of them were just under peeled back grass and some spots were still visible on the surface. I had been very clear that the lines needed to be buried below the depth of penetration for a lawn aerator. When I complained he gave a variety of defenses including that the lines would sink into the ground with snowfall, that an aerator could not penetrate the plastic pipe, and that my lawn would not need aerating. Also more than half of the sprinkler heads were sticking up more than 3 inches out of the turf and at risk of being destroyed by a lawn mower. I had to reinstall most of what he did. If you hire him I would advise having everything specified in writing and monitoring his workmanship very closely."

FAQs for lawn dethatching projects in Dexter, MI

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.
