Improper watering practices are undoubtedly the single biggest factor leading to decline of home lawns

It is important to remember that even with a professionally installed system, it is important to check coverage & performance on a regular basis, as heads may become clogged, damaged, or off-center, and leaks in the line may occur.

If an area is not receiving water from one or more heads, or a head is not providing proper coverage, dry spots can develop. This can lead to any of the problems associated with drought stressed turf, exp- weeds, turf destroying insects, & color, just to name a few.

The signs off “Drought Stress” that you need to look for are:

• Leaf Blades are folded in half lengthwise in an attempt to save water
• The grass takes on a blue-gray tint, rather than maintaining a green color
• Foot prints or tire tracks remain visible on the grass long after being made

Although water is important in maintaining a healthy lawn, the majority of home owners over-irrigates or irrigates incorrectly - Too much water is damaging to turf grass and is often the underlying cause of lawn failure

Problems with over-watering include:

• An overly succulent shout system, susceptible to disease & insect infestation
• An overly succulent shout system, susceptible to disease & insect infestationBuild up of excessive thatch, particularly in St. Augustine grass
• Weaker cell walls in the shoot tissue; overall stress resistance
• Higher water bills $$$$
