Are you tired of watering your lawn, flowers, and shrubbery with a hose or manual sprinkler? An irrigation system provides many benefits to homeowners who are looking to simplify their outdoor responsibilities. An irrigation system uses a series of hoses, tubes, pumps, sprays, and sprinkler heads to water an area. At Challenger Irrigation, we are happy to help our customers through the installation process from start to finish.
We don’t know about you, but we cannot believe that we have reached December 1st, and the holiday season is upon us. If you celebrate Christmas, do you have a live or fake tree? Some people love the ease of a fake tree and enjoy being able to put the tree up when they like and leave it up for weeks at a time. Others prefer a live tree because of the smell and the nostalgia. There are different types of live trees you can purchase for the season. There are pre-cut trees, and there are trees that you cut down yourself. But, what if you want to keep your tree? You are in luck! You can also purchase a live, potted Christmas tree. These trees have roots attached that are wrapped in burlap to allow you to plant your tree after the holidays are over.
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. There are many factors that can contribute to an uneven lawn. For instance, animals can dig holes that will fill up with water. Regular wear and tear in your yard can also lead to an uneven lawn. 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.

Would you love to improve the appearance of your grass and are debating whether to install sod? Sod can be a beautiful way to enhance the curb appeal of your property.

When sod is placed on your property, it is important to follow specific directions to ensure the grass on the sod continues to grow roots that will attach to the existing soil.
