It is the wish of every homeowner to maintain a lush and green lawn throughout the year. This entails designing an irrigation program that keeps your lawn hydrated, especially during the hot summer weather. While there are several standard tests used to check if water is infiltrating the soil, other factors exist, such as the type of grass and irrigation techniques. Atlanta Irrigation Company understands the different watering needs of various lawn types, helping you set up a schedule that addresses your irrigation needs.
If you want to maximize the impact of your irrigation impact, we recommend watering your lawn early in the morning. This allows the greenery to make use of the water before the temperatures in the ground increase. You can maintain a watering schedule with an automatic sprinkler, and we can provide exceptional irrigation system installation. Many property owners mistake watering their lawn at night for keeping the grass wet for longer. However, this can result in lawn diseases and fungal growth.
An automatic system gives more control and convenience, ensuring your lawn is watered on a schedule early in the morning. A sprinkler system wastes about 30-50% of the water through evaporation, which makes early morning hours ideal for irrigation. If there are signs of overwatering or underwatering, you may consider hiring a reputable sprinkler repair service to mitigate further deterioration.
Even with an automatic system, without the experience and knowledge needed, you are likely to make mistakes that compromise the well-being of your lawn. If these issues aren’t addressed in time, you risk affecting the health of your greenery and the aesthetic appeal of your property. It is advisable to consult an irrigation expert to ensure trivial mistakes are avoided before they result in significant damage. Here are the common mistakes people make.
More water might be a solution if the ground is not adequately hydrated, but when puddles start to form on the surface, it’s a sign of overwatering. Wet conditions encourage fungal growth, diseases and weeds, affecting the health and appeal of your lawn. The solution is to set the timer for 20 minutes to avoid oversoaking it.
People who live in areas that regularly receive a lot of rainfall aren’t required to water their lawn often or for long. Modern irrigation systems can help you adjust the watering schedule based on rainfall. The last thing you want is for the sprinklers to turn on while it’s raining, killing the grass and creating the ideal conditions for fungal growth.
Routine maintenance inspections with a trusted sprinkler repair service are crucial for a functioning and efficient system. We leverage state-of-the-art equipment to ensure blockages, leaks and malfunctioning components are repaired. It allows our technicians to detect and prevent minor issues before they get out of hand.
