Your lawn adds to the curb appeal and attractiveness of your house, but it has to be maintained in order to keep looking that good. Good lawn care starts with making sure the grass has enough water. If you’re lucky, you live in an area where rainfall is plentiful and nature waters your lawn for you. For everyone else, watering your lawn is necessary to keep it looking its best.
Sprinkler systems are a cost-effective and labor-saving way for you to make sure your grass is properly watered without having to take the time and effort to do it yourself. By having a professional landscaper install your sprinkler system, you can be sure that all areas of your lawn receive the water they need.
It’s important to regularly inspect and maintain your sprinkler system to make sure your sprinklers are providing the lawn care they should. This doesn’t mean you have to dig up the pipes and check every inch for wear. Here are some basic ways you can take care of your system and check for damage just by walking your lawn:
- Make sure you clean your sprinklers regularly. If you see any dirt or grass clippings in the nozzles or filters it has to be removed to make sure the water flows easily.
- When you are walking your lawn, check for dry or muddy areas. This is can be a sign that there’s a leak somewhere in the area.
- Check your spray pattern and make sure it covers all the areas you want it to. If it’s missing an area that can be a sign there’s a problem with the system.
Regular lawn care is important to keep it looking its best. With the help of a professionally installed sprinkler system, you can ensure your lawn looks magazine-worthy all year long.
