A family-owned business with two decades of experience in Portugal, Brazil and in the United States. We offer irrigation installation and maintenance. Call or message us to schedule an estimate today! My name is Mariana. I look forward to hearing from you!

"Recommended a new box (which was great), but couldn't wire it properly. Said we needed a new pump (which was incorrect). Called another irrigation co in, who fixed it. Then had Alex come back to fix the leaks in his piping, I went back inside, and 10min later he knocked on the door saying the irrigation wasn't working, and he had opened the correctly wired box and had all of the wires sticking out. I had to call the guy who wired it correctly back in to finish the job. Total mess."

"I was completely blown away by the work that we had done. Lisa, who was the designer was very attentive and quick to return emails and really put a lot of thought into my project. She always responded to emails within an hour and was very honest with me when it came to ideas that i had for the project. She provided a detailed drawing of my property with her ideas for plantings, stepping stones, etc. this made my life very easy by not having to imagine what she was thinking. PJ, who was the foreman on the job was also a great guy and on top of things. He always had my best interests in mind when giving his opinion about grading the yard and what would be best for my children, which was my highest priority. Walter was one of the workers who did a lot of the grading and he was also in constant communication with me. Walter and PJ came up with, and implemented a swing-set area that doubled as a retaining wall to bring up the grade on the lower side of my yard and it came out amazing. We had some irrigation issues at first because some areas were being over-watered. Nick, who was in charge of the irrigation came out to my house multiple times, after all of the work had already been paid for, to make sure that my timers were taken care of and the grass remained in tip-top shape. After paying in full, I still got immediate responses from all parties in this company and they provided immediate solutions within a day or two. They could have put me on the back burner to handle current customers, but they remained attentive to my needs. I plan to use them for cleanups and for all of my fertilizing. I highly recommend this company to everyone."

"We had Oscar come to to grade our yard and install a short retaining wall. The price was very reasonable and they were very friendly throughout the process. There were however some parts of the job that we were not super happy about. We asked to have the wall slightly extended after they started digging out, which added a small cost (the cost being totally understandable). The extended section of the wall however is not level at all with the rest of the wall. The biggest part that we were unhappy with was the fill used for the grading. Initially I noticed a large pile of concrete/debris being delivered in the yard. I specifically addressed this stating that we were not comfortable using that as fill given the small depth of the area. After being told it would not be used, we have noticed large (bigger than my head for size reference) pieces of asphalt, huge chunks of glass, and pieces of metal and plastic all throughout the area. To call any of that appropriate for "top soil" would be insane. With a dog and a toddler running around that area, the amount of glass is VERY dangerous. The overall area we had graded was large, but not very deep so all the stones, asphalt, glass, and other debris isn't buried very deep down at all and large surface area."

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.
