As winter fades and spring blooms, it’s time to prepare your lawn for the growing season ahead. Ensuring that your irrigation system is in optimal condition is essential for a vibrant, healthy lawn. At TradeWind Irrigation, we have gathered expert tips to help you navigate this crucial task and set the stage for a flourishing landscape.
Preparing Your Lawn for the Growing Season: Spring Irrigation Tips
Check Your Irrigation System
Begin by inspecting your irrigation system for any damages from winter weather. Look for broken pipes, cracked sprinkler heads, or leaks. Running a test cycle can help identify areas that need attention, ensuring everything functions smoothly when it's time to water.
Adjust Sprinkler Heads
Once your system is fully operational, take the time to adjust your sprinkler heads. They should be positioned to cover your entire lawn without wasting water. Ensuring proper alignment will eliminate dry spots and over-watering, leading to a healthier yard.
Test Soil Moisture
Before starting your regular watering schedule, test your soil moisture. This simple step can help prevent overwatering and conserve water resources. If the soil is still damp from the spring rains, delay watering until it dries out.
Schedule Regular Maintenance
Regular maintenance is key to prolonging the life of your irrigation system. Schedule backflow testing and midseason check-ups to keep your system operating efficiently and to catch any potential issues early.
