Question Answers
My sprinkler heads keep breaking and I have dead spots in my lawn. What's the real problem?
In Livermore, this common issue is often more than just a broken part. It can indicate poor water pressure from an outdated irrigation design, improper head placement, or underlying soil compaction that prevents water penetration. At Cisa Ramos, we start with a full irrigation system evaluation. We may recommend a redesign for better coverage, repair damaged zones, and often pair it with core aeration or regrading to solve the soil issue, ensuring your entire lawn gets the water it needs.
Can you fix my irrigation and the dead lawn areas at the same time?
Absolutely. We treat irrigation and turf health as interconnected systems. Our process typically involves repairing or redesigning the irrigation system for optimal coverage first. Then, we address the dead areas through regrading for proper drainage, removing dead turf, amending the soil, and installing new sod or seed. Our landscape maintenance plans include monitoring both systems to prevent the problem from recurring, giving you a complete, long-term solution.
I need a new patio and walkway, but I'm worried about messing up my sprinklers. How do you handle that?
This is a key concern during hardscape projects. Our expertise in both landscape construction and irrigation design means we plan the entire project holistically. Before any earthmoving or installation begins, we map your existing irrigation lines. We then design the new patio or walkway to integrate with a potential irrigation redesign, often relocating lines and heads to more efficient locations around the new features. This proactive approach prevents damage and often results in a better, more water-efficient system for your new landscape.
