It’s spring cleaning season! While you’re freshening up your home, don’t forget about your irrigation system. A seasonal checkup ensures it’s running efficiently before the warmer months arrive so that you can keep your lawn and garden healthy and avoid costly repairs.
A beautiful landscape doesn’t just happen on its own. With the right care, your lawn, plants, and flowers can stay lush and vibrant, creating an outdoor space you’re proud to show off. Beyond aesthetics, a well-maintained yard enhances curb appeal and adds lasting value to your home.
Most property owners enjoy their lush, green lawns without a second thought until dry patches, puddles, and unexpectedly high water bills start appearing. These warning signs often indicate that their irrigation system is nearing the end of its useful life. While a well-designed system typically lasts around 10-15 years, the wear and tear eventually becomes impossible to ignore. Let’s explore five clear indicators that it may be time to upgrade, along with insights on how modern systems can deliver greater efficiency and convenience.
