Sprinkler repair in Spokane can be essential for keeping a lawn as healthy as possible. Many homeowners use two strategies for keeping the grass looking great and staying in healthy condition even during hot, dry weather. One is to cut the grass with the lawnmower blades set high and the other is to use a zoned irrigation system.
Mowing so the grass is always at least three inches tall is most beneficial for the lawn. Cutting it shorter may create a highly manicured look, but it removes some of the greenery the plant needs for photosynthesis. The roots then are not as deep or strong and cannot effectively take up water and nutrients. The grass is more vulnerable to disease and to dying off in less-than-optimum conditions.
Having irrigation technicians zone the sprinkler system allows water to be used more effectively. Shady parts of the yard don’t need as much hydration while grass that gets sunshine all day long needs more. When the zoning system stops working properly, sprinkler repair in Spokane is necessary to continue those advisable levels of watering in different parts of the yard. Homeowners who delay repair work may figure they’ll just water the dry spots with a hose or a manual sprinkler, but there are problems with this idea.
First, it’s difficult to be precise about adding the right amount of water. Second, somebody has to be home to do the task and must remember to do it. Third, spraying water with a hose or using an oscillating or rotating sprinkler leads to a significant amount of wasted water. Some of it can blow away in the breeze and some of it may evaporate. With deep soaking from an irrigation system, much more of the water does what it’s intended to.
Third, one of the main points of having an irrigation system installed by a company like Spokane ProCare is to make the homeowner’s life easier. The watering is done automatically and nobody ever has to think about it. This type of organization does prompt and affordable repair work if anything ever happens to malfunction.
