Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - Flagship Outdoor Services LLC
Outdoor Drainage
Q: Why is proper drainage important for my property?
A: Proper drainage prevents water accumulation, foundation damage, erosion, and soggy lawns. It also helps protect your landscaping and reduces the risk of mold and mildew buildup around your home.
Q: What types of drainage solutions do you offer?
A: We offer French drains, channel drains, dry wells, sump pump installations, and grading solutions to effectively manage water flow on your property.
Q: How do I know if I have a drainage problem?
A: Common signs include standing water after rain, basement flooding, soil erosion, and unhealthy-looking grass or plants due to excessive moisture.
New Lawn Installations
Q: What is the best time of year to install a new lawn?
A: The best time to install a new lawn is in early spring or early fall when temperatures are moderate and rainfall is more consistent.
Q: What types of grass do you recommend for my area?
A: We recommend grass varieties that are well-suited for the local climate and soil conditions, such as Kentucky Bluegrass, Tall Fescue, and Perennial Ryegrass.
Q: How long does it take for a new lawn to establish?
A: Typically, it takes 2-3 weeks for new grass to germinate and about 6-8 weeks for it to become fully established.
New Lawn Renovations
Q: What is the difference between a lawn renovation and a new lawn installation?
A: A lawn renovation improves an existing lawn by overseeding, aeration, and fertilization, while a new lawn installation involves completely starting over with sod or seed.
Q: How do I know if my lawn needs renovation?
A: If your lawn has thin patches, excessive weeds, compacted soil, or poor grass growth, it may benefit from renovation rather than complete replacement.
Q: How often should I aerate and overseed my lawn?
A: We recommend aerating and overseeding at least once a year, ideally in the fall, to maintain a thick and healthy lawn.
HydroSeeding
Q: What is hydroseeding?
A: Hydroseeding is a process that sprays a mixture of seed, mulch, fertilizer, and water onto the soil to promote fast and healthy grass growth.
Q: How does hydroseeding compare to sod or traditional seeding?
A: Hydroseeding is more cost-effective than sod and establishes faster than traditional seeding. It also helps prevent erosion and promotes uniform growth.
Q: How soon will I see grass growth after hydroseeding?
A: You should see germination within 7-10 days, with significant growth within 3-4 weeks, depending on weather and watering conditions.

Q: What are the benefits of outdoor lighting?
A: Outdoor lighting enhances curb appeal, increases safety and security, and allows you to enjoy outdoor spaces at night.

A: We provide landscape lighting, pathway lighting, security lighting, and accent lighting to highlight architectural and natural features of your property.
