Spring is the season of the lawn

Now is the time to schedule your appointment to have Gerbert & Sons open your irrigation system for the season so you can enjoy a beautiful, lush lawn through the spring and summer.
No matter where you are with your current irrigation system, we can help make sure it’s ready for the hot weather, and let you know about any upgrades that might be needed to make sure you’re making the best economic and environmental use of your water supply. Taking the time to take stock of your lawn’s condition after this harsh winter lets us determine which areas need attention and repair. And your feet will thank you later for your attention now- early spring is the best time for an application of organic crabgrass control, cutting off most growth before it has a chance to emerge and take over your lawn, especially as the days grow hotter.

Contact Gerbert & Sons to start bringing your yard back to life and ready for summer fun.

Too much water can dampen your outdoor plans

While an custom irrigation system takes care of making sure water gets to where it’s most needed, let’s not forget the flip side- areas of your property where too much water creates problems such as a soggy lawn or ponding in low areas from rainfall runoff. Those parts of your yard become unusable for days after a summer rain, and standing water is the perfect breeding spot for mosquitos. Our landscape architects can review your property and develop a grading and drainage plan to expertly address and remedy any problem areas, making your whole yard functional and healthy, as well as attractive and inviting! Grading creates a more level, even surface and can contour a specific slope to direct surface runoff to where it helps instead of harming, particularly making sure it’s far away from foundations and basements. We’ll make sure to design drainage strategies to correct any recurring water issues before they result in permanent damage to your home and property.

Let Gerbert & Sons’ experts make your water work for you, ensuring your entire property is safe and welcoming.
