Why Winterizing your Sprinkler System is Important

AquaTX Sprinkler system
Although Texas is known for its wide variety of weather, one thing is certain, we are lucky enough to live in a state where we don’t have to battle treacherous and harsh winters. However, certain things still need to be done in terms of winterizing or “hibernating” your home’s essential components. One of those maintenance items is your sprinkler/irrigation system. A winter maintenance plan is important to prevent further damage and costly repairs down the road.  Here are some tips to consider when winterizing your system so it’s running optimally when you need it the most.  
Do NOT turn sprinkler/ irrigation systems off 
Contrary to what you might think, turning your system off during the winter months could actually cause more damage. Instead, leave your system on and flush your lines. 

Consider reprogramming your system 
Depending on which type of system you have, you can switch your sprinklers to rain mode during the winter months which could save you energy and the hassle of reprogramming your whole system again when you rely on it more.

How to Care for Grass in Summer

Do you want your lawn to be the envy of the neighborhood? You know the one. The full and lush green grass turns the heads of every visitor and dog walker that comes along.    Achieving the lawn of your dreams isn't out of your reach. If you learn a few basics, you will be able to maintain and enjoy a lush green lawn all summer long!   Early Summer Start by watching the temperatures for the best time to fertilize your grass. Warm-season grass grows best at 70 degrees, so fertilizing around that temperature can make your grass more resistant to heat and drought.   Next, mow with sharp blades to give your lawn a clean cut. In early summer, keep the grass a bit taller. Taller grass will provide more shade, keeping weeds from germinating.    Speaking of weeds, act fast to kill established weeds before they spread. You can hand pull the weeds or use a targeted post-emergent herbicide to eliminate the blooming weeds.   Mid Summer to Late Summer Keeping your g...

They think they can rely on the weather to do the watering for them, which isn’t always necessarily true. Don’t be like those homeowners. Instead, make sure you keep watering your lawn up until the first frost around October.

Signs Your Sprinkler System Needs an Upgrade

Image
  Irrigation systems are the brawn behind a home's lush and healthy landscape. These workhorses are responsible for the cub appeal that comes along with a vibrant lawn. Regular maintenance is key to keeping your sprinkler system performing well, just like any home appliance. From updating parts to replacing the entire system, you must be familiar with your system to spot the warning signs your sprinkler system needs and upgrades.    The age of your system is the first thing to consider. How old is your irrigation system, and how does that compare to the expected lifetime? If your system is more than 25 years old, a newer option will be more cost-effective and energy-efficient. Keep track of the regular maintenance your sprinkler system receives. This record will help you assess the quality of your system and the need for replacement.   The second thing to assess is if you have leaks in multiple places in your irrigation system. Older systems often have leaks in their...
