Pungitore Irrigation & Fertilizer, based in Kingston and doing business online as Grow Your Grass, has served homeowners and businesses on the South Shore since 2012. Owner Mike Pungitore learned the trade working summers for his father's landscape business before leaving a finance career to start the company, which now handles irrigation installation and repair, fertilizer and lawn-care programs, landscape lighting, and broader landscape construction projects such as new lawns, plantings and hardscapes. Reviewers from 2022 through 2025 consistently praise the irrigation side of the business: a 2023 review described technician Flavio tracking down and repairing a broken line under a brick walkway, and a 2025 review credited him with troubleshooting a system after separate tree and planting work had wrapped up. Homeowners also cite dependable crews for broader work — a 2024 review recounted a concrete walkway replaced with pavers and new drainage, a 2023 review described a new sod lawn installed and maintained, and a 2024 review credited crew member Edi Xheleshi with several years of ongoing landscape maintenance at a Hingham property. Multiple 2023 reviews describe reliable snow plowing on tight, sloped driveways and private roads. As of a 2020 local business profile, owner Mike Pungitore personally answered most incoming calls himself. One 2025 review flagged a final bill that came in about 40% above the original quote, attributed to additional material used during a lawn-renovation job and a small area of fill the homeowner added on the day of service — worth confirming in writing how add-on work and material overages get priced before a project starts. Pungitore is a reasonable call for South Shore homeowners who want one company to handle irrigation, lawn care and smaller landscape-construction projects together, with a track record of technicians who stick with a problem until it's fixed — just nail down the scope and pricing for any extra work in advance.

“Pungitore Irrigation and Fertilizer is growing despite the ongoing challenges of finding qualified labor.”
“The owner of the company, Mike Pungitore, places special emphasis on customer care and personally responds to the majority of phone calls the business receives.”
As a new homeowner, I appreciated how knowledgeable and professional Pungitore’s on-site team was. They walked me through the process clearly, and their office staff was responsive and informative leading up to the service. However, I was surprised to receive a final bill that was 40% higher than the original quote after the slice seeding and top dressing were completed. The increase was attributed to an additional 4 cubic yards of material beyond what was quoted, and a small hole (4 ft by 6 in, or 0.075 cu. yd) that we asked to have filled on the day of service. I was told the original quote underestimated the job, but that discrepancy wasn’t communicated until after the work was done. This kind of pricing shift makes it difficult to plan a budget—especially in the early months of homeownership when expenses are already high. Had we known the actual cost upfront, we would have considered alternative service options. The final result looks great, but the quoting process felt unpredictable and left us with unexpected costs. Clearer communication and more accurate quoting would go a long way toward improving the customer experience.
How fast can I give this company 5 shiny stars, quick!! This gem of a company was recommended to me last week. After tree removal, boulder moving, tree planting, stump grinding and grass seeding finished up yesterday, our irrigation needed serious help. Pungitore to the rescue! Showing up today (you read that correctly), my irrigation hero Flavio immediately got to work to triage the situation. He capped broken lines to discern what other particular zones could do, and got a full picture of what work remained. “When can he return?” you ask, so as to not leave my new grass seed hanging by a thread? The typical two weeks from now that has become commonplace? Nay. Flavio will return Monday. Today is Friday. Our yard situation required prompt action. Pungitore recognized this fact, sent an incredibly knowledgeable, kind, considerate, experienced technician, and is going to have our irrigation up and running in no time. The yard gods are smiling down on me. Maybe I saved a bunch of cute rabbits in a past life, who knows? The point is… my luck in finding honest, fair, friendly, efficient irrigation expertise is apparently mighty. Thank you Flavio! Thank you Pungitore!
Great service and excellent communication. The team is reliable and responsive. Really enjoy simplicity of the payments and invoicing for the services they provide. Highly recommend Pongitore team.
Awesome service. Tom and his team were great. In and out, on time, and super helpful with showing me how to use the system. Would recommend 10/10 times!
