 Weekly Watering Advice
A misaligned or broken sprinkler can waste gallons of water and damage your lawn. Observe your sprinkler system in operation at least twice a year (once in spring, once in summer) to check for:
- Clogged or tilted heads
- Uneven coverage
- Leaks or low pressure
Don’t forget to check the backup battery in your sprinkler controller annually. A power outage could reset it to default settings, disrupting your carefully planned watering schedule. For more information about our Irrigation Sprinkler Evaluation Program, click the button below.
