Star, Idaho
Lawn care and landscaping in Star
Star is one of the fastest-growing towns in the valley, and a lot of the homes we work on there are on their first or second season. The builder's landscaping is in — sod, a few shrubs, rock beds, a sprinkler system — and it needs looking after properly to turn into a real yard.
First-season sod is the most delicate thing we mow. We keep it higher, skip the heavy equipment until it's rooted, and keep a close eye on sprinkler coverage, because new sod that dries out once can die in a weekend.

What we see in Star yards
Local yards, local problems.
First-season sod
Mowed higher and lighter until it roots. Checked for seams that are lifting or drying out.
Builder sprinkler systems
Builder-installed systems often need heads adjusted once the landscaping settles. Spray landing on the house or the street is common and quick to fix.
Young shrubs
Shaped early, so they fill out the way you want instead of the way they happen to grow.

FAQ
Lawn care in Star: questions
When can new sod be mowed?
Usually two to three weeks after it's laid, once it has rooted and doesn't lift when you tug it. We mow it high for the first few cuts.
Do you do spring start-ups in Star?
Yes. Builder systems are worth having checked at the first start-up — a cracked fitting or a head pointed at the siding is easy to fix in April and expensive by July.
