Service: Direction is Everything!

  • Your irrigation system is only as good as its aim.  Adjust sprinklers and emitters to make sure they are delivering water to the landscape and not onto rocks, bare earth or pavement.
  • June is a great time to check and replace any clogged spray nozzles or drip emitters.  Remember, each spray head also has its own filter insert that needs checked as well.

Watering Recommendations: Summer is here and so are hotter temperatures! Follow the Water by the Seasons Summer watering recommendations to keep your yard looking healthy. For turf, water 2-3 times per week. Start watering your trees and shrubs 1 time per week to keep them looking good.

Remember, if it rains more than a half inch you can skip your next scheduled watering as there is no need for supplemental irrigation.
