Are YOU Ready if a Drought Strikes?
Drought - even the word sounds ominous, like something we'd like to avoid. And it always is.
The thing about lack of water brought on by drought is, it affects our lawns, our vegetation, and overall, the beauty
and health of our landscape and properties.
"A system audit by your certified irrigation contractor helps
keep your irrigation system working efficiently. This in turn,
saves you money."
However, there are some things that can be put in place to help your landscape recover from a severe lack of water, or
be ready for it when it occurs. Regular maintenance helps ensure water is distributed evenly onto the lawn and doesn't
over spray onto unnecessary areas. A system audit by your certified irrigation contractor helps keep your irrigation
system working efficiently. This in turn, saves you money.
Over the years, I have rebuilt sprinkler systems and installed systems on properties that have sufferred the short-term
and prolonged effects of drought conditions, and brought them back to life when it looked as though there was no
hope of recovering them.
A "sprinkler head matrix" can be created to diagram the number of zones, type of sprinkler heads and locations, for
more efficient watering. Here are some additional recommendations:
Use drip irrigation
Reduce evaporation. Water when the sun is low or down, and temperatures are cool.
