Millard and Quality’s bids were the same price. My in laws have Quality. I guess my thought is the bigger company is maybe the better choice when the bids are the same? Idk, trying to make the right choice for the next decade or twoI've heard good things about them, have had positive experiences with Quality Irrigation, and have a friend who just started this place:

What do you fellas do under the swings of swingsets? Kids obviously wear away all the grass & create little troughs there, which get muddy after every rain. Thinking about putting down mats like this:

Spring grass is the best. It most likely all goes downhill from here.

Not sure on the mats, my daughters got old enough I just got rid of the damn things (Swingsets). Neighbor uses pea gravel around their Trampoline/swingsets but he also had all that set before puting in underground sprinklers. The rubber mulch would work also pretty well I'd think, just depends on your sprinklers or situationWhat do you fellas do under the swings of swingsets?

Yeah, I've got young kids + another on the way, so the playground is sticking around a while. I love everything about having it in grass except for those 3 strips - pea gravel & rubber mulch are viable, I just prefer something where I don't have to create a new boundary or edge.

Just murdered two rabbits from my vantage point in the "Nebraska Bookstore Repository". A suppressed .22 has extended the life of the landscaping whilst failing to disturb a single neighbor. Invigorating start to the day, because fuck rabbits.

Took me about 2 minutes of trimming the hedges in front of my house with sheers to realize I need an electric hedge trimmer. I ordered one on the spot but it won’t arrive until Wednesday. I figured my forearms would be in decent shape due to jacking off and whatnot, but man am I sore today.

Working from home today, in ground sprinkler system being installed as I type this. Tough sight seeing all the grass being ripped up by the shovels and trench digger, but the long game will pay off huge. Very excited it's happening!

It's pretty cool. Make sure they're calibrated to cover the sunny areas of your yard really well. We've got a couple areas that they get to, but kind of light coverage, and in the same zone with some shady areas, so it's either over-water one area, or under-water a different one.
Still keeps the yard pretty nice, but best to get it optimized from the get-go.

In a weird way it just gave me some self accomplishment and pride to do it myself, but I just don't have the time during the week anymore to do it consistently enough

Will do. I figure for what it costs, I'm going to ask all questions I can think of and make sure I get picky and selfish with how I want it.

Held off mowing for a week and a half while it hasn’t rain. Finally caved in and it’s still looking decent. Hammering the water though now

Best thing I did when we built our new house was have them add drip lines through the landscaping that are on a separate zone and get a WiFi controller. I bought a RainMachine at the time. That thing uses AI to automatically adjust your watering based on all of the weather data it collects. Saves me a ton in over watering.
