"I’ve used this service for three years and my lawn looks worse than it ever has. I wouldn’t leave this review, but unfortunately after being threatened to be taken to small claims court over $68 I feel the need to share my story. I received a letter last fall saying they were switching over to ACH, in order to continue service you had to update your account with ACH info. I thought, great! I don’t want to continue because my lawn looks terrible after 3 years of using them so I won’t update to ACH. Fast forward to spring 2022, someone comes and does first round and leaves an invoice. I email and say I was surprised to see the invoice (since I hadn’t updated to ACH payments) and honestly my lawn is awful and I don’t want the service. They say I had to provide 30 day written notice to cancel. Invoice is still due. I asked someone to come look at my lawn, no one comes. I call them a couple months later because my lawn looks EVEN WORSE if possible.. (huge thistles, weeds of every variety) I tell them I do not feel that I should have to pay this invoice for a service I didn’t expect to receive on top of the fact that 3 years of service has clearly not been effective. I showed pictures since no one would come out.. literally all I get in response is a threat to take me to small claims court if the invoice isn’t paid. Like after all the money I had already paid wasn’t enough, they really want to fight a customer over $68 rather than trying to mend a situation. All in all, they don’t care about you or the service they provide."

"I hired this company to repair hail damage on my home in 2023. The job was to replace the roofs on my house and garage as well as siding and gutters on my house. Long story short they came out and did the roofs in a timely manner, the siding and gutters not so much. Communication was lacking and they tried to charge me way more than what my insurance scope was. I had to get a lawyer involved. He sued me and we went to court. I won my case in February 2025 and I am still waiting to be paid the money I am owed. I do not recommend this company, buyer beware."

FAQs for lawn care lawn seeding projects in Iowa City, IA

When you’re figuring out how much seed to buy, start with your lawn’s square footage. Tall fescue requires eight to 10 pounds per 1,000 square feet, while finer blends require only half to one pound. Too little seed leaves thin patches; too much causes clumps and nutrient competition. Measure carefully or ask a lawn-care pro to confirm your numbers so you spread the right amount and set your new grass up for even growth.

Most lawns sprout within seven to 30 days after reseeding, but the timing depends on the climate and seed type. Cool-season blends pop faster in mild spring or fall weather, while warm-season grasses need steady heat. Good soil prep, even seed distribution, and two to three light waterings a day speed germination. Extra aeration or debris removal beforehand can tack on a few more days.

Overseeding involves spreading fresh seed over an existing lawn to thicken it, whereas reseeding targets bare or damaged areas where much of the turf has died or been damaged. Understanding which issue you’re facing helps you pick the correct fix—and avoid paying for services you don’t need. Your lawn care pro can evaluate your property to determine the most effective option.

Hold off on foot traffic until the new grass has been mowed three or four times—by then, the roots are strong enough to handle weight. Stepping on seedlings too soon can crush them and slow growth, so cordon off the area or stick to stones and pathways if you need to cross the yard.

Reseeding timing depends on the type of grass and climate. Warm-season varieties perform best when reseeded in late spring or early summer, while cool-season blends prefer early spring or early fall. Select a seed suitable for your region and keep it moist—giving it two to three light waterings a day during the first week helps jump-start germination and create uniform coverage.

Hydroseeding costs range from $500 to $4,000. A pro sprays a pressurized mix of seed, fertilizer, water, and mulch that delivers quick, even coverage—perfect for big or uneven yards. Talk with a local lawn-care expert to pin down an exact price for your lawn’s size, seed type, and overall condition.
