Here in NJ, all watering of turf is banned w/ the exception of sod/seed for new construction, or a lawn may be watered for 48 hrs after an application from a licensed company. Any overseeding can NOT! be watered (unless you want to pay a $1000.00 fine).
I usually begin my renovations in September, and wrap things up by mid-late October. I will probably do some renovations beginning soon, but will down play the results to my clients since they can't water. With the mass devastation to turf in this region due to fungus, drought and some unwanted crabgrass, the turf looks anything but very healthy. I am already having nightmares visioning the winter chickweed crop coming to a head, and next years headaches w/ crabgrass as the turf may not become as dense as it normally would if it received proper care in a normal fall.
So how many of you are pushing these services, and what results are you having with the work and your clients' perceptions?
