The most effective approach combines prevention and treatment. We recommend applying a pre-emergent herbicide in early spring to stop weed seeds from germinating, followed by regular manual removal of any that appear. For existing beds, a targeted post-emergent treatment is often needed. Mulching is also crucial in our climate, as it suppresses weeds and retains soil moisture. Our team can assess your specific beds and implement a customized plan to keep them clean and healthy.

Dry spots in San Jose lawns are often caused by sprinkler head misalignment, clogged nozzles, or uneven water pressure. Over time, heads can get knocked or settle, causing them to spray the sidewalk or driveway instead of the grass. We perform a detailed sprinkler audit to check each head's coverage, arc, and output. We then adjust, clean, or replace components to ensure every part of your lawn receives consistent, adequate water, which is key for water efficiency and a uniformly green yard.

Absolutely. Water conservation is a priority in our region. We focus on optimizing your existing sprinkler system to eliminate waste from overspray or runoff and ensure even coverage. We also advise on drought-tolerant plant selections and proper mulching techniques that reduce evaporation. Many San Jose homeowners find that a professional system tune-up and smart watering schedule adjustments significantly reduce their water bill while improving the health of their grass and plants.
