Have you noticed that your lawn appears brown and dry in some places but is green and thriving around your sprinkler head? This can be a sign that you have a sinking sprinkler head. This problem can be fixed, and your sprinklers will be working effectively in no time. A sinking sprinkler head is a common occurrence and can be caused by foot traffic and lawnmowers. The more often that a sprinkler head is stepped on or run over, the greater the chance it has of sinking down into the ground. When a sprinkler head sinks, it is unable to spray far. The water will typically only hit the grass or landscaping immediately surrounding the sprinkler head.

Do you often find standing water on your lawn after it rains or after your sprinklers have been on? If so, there is a good chance that your lawn is not level.

This is extremely likely if you have children who are constantly playing sports and running through your yard. It is extremely easy for children and pets to create ruts and holes in your lawn. If your property is prone to flooding, it can cause the soil to erode, leading to drainage problems.

Spending the summer in Florida is quite a unique experience, especially if you are not originally from the area. Florida is known for the high temperatures, especially during the summer months. It can be very difficult for grass, landscaping, and vegetation to survive during this time. Although we have very heavy rainfall during these months, this type of rain does more harm than good to your property.

One thing that Florida is known for is the unpredictable rainfall we see, especially during the summer months. It may seem like it rains a lot here during this time of year, and while it does, the rain is usually a fast downpour that is over quickly. This type of rain is not helpful to your lawn and other landscaping. The rainwater does not have time to absorb into the ground before it evaporates. The summer sun is extremely strong and quickly dries the rain, leading to dead grass and landscaping. In the fall and spring, there can be long periods without rain. If you are looking to have a beautiful lawn with landscaping, an irrigation system will be beneficial.
