Sprinkler Systems

You have an automatic sprinkler system. All your watering problems are solved, right? Not necessarily.

Watering issues still result even with automatic systems. These issues include:
• Poor head placement, usually not enough heads or heads are too far apart
• Incorrect nozzles in rotors
• Improper setting of times for a zone or zones
• Watering at the wrong time of the day

Some of these issues can lead to too much or too little water in a portion of your yard. Improper design is usually the result of lack of experience by an installation company. Companies sometimes reduce heads to save money if the job was bid too low.

To be effective, sprinkler heads should spray to the adjacent head. This gives 100% coverage and avoids wet/dry, wet/dry spots across your lawn.

A major reason for new lawns to fail to come in well is improper coverage from poorly installed automatic systems. The second reason is not setting the controller correctly.
