Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best way to get rid of moss in my Newville lawn?
Moss often indicates poor soil conditions, like compaction or low pH. At Colby's Landscaping, we start with a soil test and then recommend a combination of core aeration to improve drainage, lime applications to adjust pH, and a targeted fertilization program to promote thick, healthy grass that naturally outcompetes the moss. Simply removing the moss without fixing the underlying issue will only lead to it coming back.
I suspect a sprinkler leak. What should I look for?
Common signs in our area include soggy patches, unusually high water bills, or a sprinkler head that doesn't pop up properly. We recommend checking for visible damage to heads and lines, and running each zone to look for geysers or low pressure. For a thorough inspection, our Newville-based technicians can perform a pressure test and system audit to find even hidden leaks, saving you water and money.
Can you help make my irrigation system more efficient for our Pennsylvania seasons?
Absolutely. Many local systems are set on outdated schedules. We optimize your controller with seasonal settings, install rain sensors to prevent overwatering, and ensure all heads are properly aligned to water your lawn—not the driveway or sidewalk. This tailored approach conserves water, protects your investment in your landscape, and is crucial for maintaining a healthy lawn through our variable weather.
