What Our Customers Are Saying
“Jim was very conscientious in treating our lawn. I hope he comes back next year to continue his great service.”
David C. 
Our yard was was completely damaged from a drainage install we had done and we have clay soil which is the absolute worse to deal with. We literally needed a whole new lawn installed from front to back. Grasshopper Gardens was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. Whether I was speaking to someone from the office or the two men who came and did all the hard work, everyone was so professional and courteous. They did such an amazing job leveling out our yard (which was definitely not easy, even breaking up clumps of clay by hand) laying down the top soil, grading and then hydro seeding the whole thing. They came on time, worked hard the whole time they were here, respected my property and banged out the whole job in one day. I am so happy we chose them and will definitely continue to be a customer for years to come.

“Switched from TruGreen/LawnDawg to Grasshopper mid summer, I am very pleased with my results. My lawn looks the best it ever has in the 16 years that I have had a lawn service. Thanks Jeremy.”
Joe M.
“Excellent work and always quick response to my questions. Best company in the tri-state area.”
Jim N.
We wanted a large back patio and fire pit living space for our home. We met with Parker Crossley of Grasshopper Gardens for the estimate. He listened carefully to what we had to say. He was like a guide that offered things to consider to ensure our final decision would be an educated one that fit what we really wanted. We were blessed and fortunate to have had Shannon (Project Team Lead/Supervisor) assigned to do our project. He was consistently careful to discuss all significant details with us before doing the work stages to ensure what he created fit with what we hoped to achieve. Everyone that we dealt with at Grasshopper Gardens had been pleasant, professional and very accommodating. The finished project was everything that we wanted and we are so happy with it. When we have another outdoor project to do – we will definitely be contacting Grasshopper Gardens.

“Our yard has needed an overhaul for years. The guys from Grasshopper Gardens knew we needed to go from crab grass and dirt to a beautiful, green lawn.”

Year-Round Irrigation Care for Every Season
Your irrigation system has different demands throughout the year, and Grasshopper Gardens manages all of them. Spring service includes seasonal start-ups, sprinkler head inspections, and water delivery calibration for the growing season. Summer adjustments keep irrigation efficiency on track as heat and rainfall patterns shift. Come fall, we check drain line and drainage system components ahead of the first freeze. Before winter sets in, we fully winterize your system, protecting hose bibs, the service line, and all underground components from damage. Capital District homeowners can count on consistent, season-appropriate care from one trusted local team.

FAQs
Common signs include uneven lawn coverage, a noticeably higher water bill, visibly damaged or clogged sprinkler heads, or sections of your lawn that are consistently dry or waterlogged. Our team can perform a full irrigation system inspection and identify any issues before they lead to more costly repairs down the road.
Backflow prevention protects your domestic water service by stopping irrigation water from flowing back into your home’s clean water supply. A certified irrigation backflow assembly is required in most areas and should be tested annually by a certified tester to confirm it is functioning correctly and in compliance with local water use regulations.
Spring start-ups should be scheduled after the final hard frost has passed — typically late April or May in the Capital District. Winterization should happen before temperatures consistently drop below freezing, usually in October. Booking early gives our team time to inspect your system thoroughly and make any adjustments before the heaviest water use periods of the year.
Yes. A properly calibrated irrigation system improves irrigation efficiency by delivering the right amount of water at the right time, which eliminates the waste that comes from manual watering or aging, poorly configured systems. Many homeowners see a meaningful reduction in their water bill after upgrading to a professionally designed landscape irrigation system.
Grasshopper Gardens provides both residential and commercial irrigation service throughout the Capital District. Our team designs and installs landscape irrigation systems for properties of all sizes, including larger commercial applications that require advanced water management planning, multi-zone distribution system design, and ongoing service coordination.
