Doing some irrigation sprinkler maintenance for a commercial client of ours. With a irrigation sprinkler checkup we will run through your sprinkler system and flag and problems. Upon completion of the checkup we will provide you with an estimate of repairs to be done. With irrigation sprinkler maintenance customers we go ahead and do the repairs and bill upon completion.

I’m sure everyone has noticed a dramatic increase in their lawns beauty with all of this rain. I wanted to take a few minutes to remind you a few different things to take into account with all of this rain.

Think of the environment!

With all of this rain you really do not need to be running your sprinkler system. If your rain sensor is not functional I would encourage you to either replace the sensor or hire someone to replace.

With all of this rain you really do not need to be running your sprinkler system. If your rain sensor is not functional I would encourage you to either replace the sensor or hire someone to replace. Don’t be those homeowners that are watering while it’s raining or watering a day after a torrential downpour. It’s not cool and is a waste of water!

Now in regards to fertilizer. There’s no better time to fertilize than when it’s cooler out and raining. The best fertilizer for this time of year is a 100% slow release Nitrogen fertilizer with iron. The iron will give you the greening effect you are looking for but without the ridiculous growth. A highly soluble fertilizer will leach through the soil with all the rain we’ve received. Also make sure to keep fertilizer off the roads and sidewalks, and if you do get fertilizer onto these areas make sure to blow the areas off. Fertilizer on road or sidewalk areas will be washed into storm drains that flow into water areas and pollute our environment.

I’m not saying these things because I’m some crazy environmentalist. However these are things that make huge impacts on the ecosystem and are easy to correct.

All irrigation must be accomplished before 8 a.m. or after 6 p.m. Any one zone of a property may only be watered once during the allowed day, not both in the morning and again in the evening.

There are three things that make yards look great. Sharp blades, water, and fertilizer. If you are missing any of these three things your yard can only look so good.

Below is a picture of our blades at the start of each day.
