Irrigation and keeping it cut
A fescue lawn in this county lives or dies in the third week of July. Irrigation is the difference between a lawn you overseed every fall and one you replace.
Irrigation, residential and commercial
Systems get designed around the water you actually have. Head spacing comes off the pressure and the flow at the meter, not off a catalog, and zones get split so a shady bed is not on the same clock as a south facing lawn.
The commercial side is the same work at a different scale, with backflow and controller access built for someone who is not the owner. Both get walked head by head after startup, because a system that has never been watched run is a system nobody has tested.
- Zones split by sun, slope and plant type
- Head layout worked off measured pressure
- Every head watched running before we leave
Lawn maintenance
Mowing, edging, bed care and seasonal cleanup on a schedule, for houses and for commercial properties. The company has run maintenance crews in Gaston County since 1982 and the supply yard means the mulch and the straw come off our own pile.
Fescue here wants a fall overseed, a real feeding schedule and enough water in high summer. Bermuda wants the opposite of most of that. Which lawn you have decides the calendar, and it is worth knowing before you buy seed.

What Gaston County says
Every quote below is a real review, word for word, from our Google profile.
I called this morning looking for prices on some mulch and expected to have to wait a few days for delivery. I spoke with Melissa and she helped me figure out how much I needed and quoted a very reasonable price and told me I could get it delivered in half an hour! Mac was soon in my driveway with a truckload of mulch. He drove that truck right up to my flower bed and dumped it right where I needed it.
I'm born and raised here, so I've known about AJ's for probably the last 30 years or more, but have never worked with them until now. They are awesome to work with. When you call them, you don't get a recording. They answer the phones and provide great insight and advice for the project.
This long established business continues to provide quality products for a reasonable price. The second generation is also involved and he delivers quickly, efficiently and never fails to treat customers respectfully.
Always great, the lady on the phone is always pleasant and soooo friendly, she is patient answering questions and helpful, the delivery guy is always friendly, he even dump my gravel in diff spots to make it easier to spread.
AJ will forever be my place and will always be the first place i recommend. I have begged my husband for years to fill an area in my garden with river rock. He was able to do that yesterday with the help of AJ's!
Great family owned and operated business. Honest, insightful and helpful in every aspect.
Think you have a problem up there? We will look at it, free.
September into early October. The soil is still warm enough to germinate and the seedlings get the whole cool season to root before summer tests them.
Yes. Startups, shutdowns, head and valve repair and controller work. Bring the controller brand if you know it.
Yes, for both irrigation and maintenance. Commercial work has been part of the business for decades.
