March Spring Irrigation Checkup - New Landscape Plans
Last month I wrote about getting your landscape irrigation system ready for the system by doing your annual spring maintenance or tuneup. Check it out here:
Spring Irrigation Tuneup
I've written similar blog posts in previous years outlining many of the details that go into this type of 'checkup'. Here's another article I wrote several years ago for you to refer to: Summer Sprinkler Tips
With the exception of a few cold nights and slightly chilly days the past few weeks, Spring has started to show as we've experienced some days with high temperatures in the low to mid 60s! The current 10 day outlook forecast is looking good for North Florida as next week we'll be hitting 65 and 66 degrees with clear & sunny skies!
Pretty soon the grass will be greening up and the brown, dormant lawns and landscapes will be fading away and back to our typical 9 months or so of beautiful green plants, lush lawns, and colorful flowers.
It's not too early and never too late to get your lawn sprinkler system prepared and fully functional to help provide adequate and uniform water to your yard's landscape. If you are like many people, you are probably planning out new home and yard projects which may include modifications or improvements to your yard.
It's typical this time of year for people to re-sod or lay new grass. This is a great time of year to do that, but please don't make the mistake that many people often do: Not thoroughly checking your lawn sprinklers before laying new grass or planting new shrubs! I experience many frantic calls from people freaking out because they just spent hundreds or even thousands of dollars on new grass and/or landscape material and then find out that their sprinkler system is not working properly!
Mistakes happen, so I am understanding to those who make this mistake and I do my best to accommodate them and provide service as quickly as possible, but there are times where we get so busy that we do have a waiting list and that's the last thing you want to hear when you have 10 pallets of St. Augustine grass laying in your yard and there is no rain in the foreseeable forecast!
If you are reading this before you've planned or started this year's landscape projects, then great! Please check-up and repair your irrigation system prior to ordering and installing new grass, plants, or shrubs. Either do it yourself or call a professional company, like Advanced Irrigation Systems, to inspect and get your system up to par. Make sure to let your irrigation tech know exactly what type of landscape material you'll be using and where it will be. You want to make sure that you have proper coverage over the entire area.
The warm weather is coming. Alright everybody...it's time to get to work with our Spring cleaning, Spring Tune-ups, and home projects. I've got a lot of work to do on my home landscape this year myself and I'm actual excited about it! I've just been waiting for this cold weather to go away. Get your sprinkler system updated today. If you live or have a home inside Northwest Florida located in Niceville, Valparaiso, Bluewater Bay, Fort Walton Beach, Destin, Crestview, or Navarre then give me a call!
