Question Answers
How can I tell if my sprinkler system has coverage gaps in Albuquerque?
Common signs include dry, brown patches in your lawn, especially at the edges of spray patterns, and areas where water runs off onto pavement instead of soaking in. Our Albuquerque climate means even small gaps can stress your plants quickly. Dons Landscaping offers a free irrigation audit to map your system's coverage and identify inefficiencies, helping you save water and keep your landscape healthy.
What type of mulch is best for preventing rapid drying in the Albuquerque sun?
For our dry climate, we recommend heavier, organic mulches like shredded cedar or bark nuggets, which decompose slowly and retain moisture better than finer materials. The key is proper depth and installation. Dons Landscaping applies mulch at the correct depth (typically 2-3 inches) and ensures it's not piled against plant stems, creating an effective moisture barrier that protects soil from our intense sun and wind.
Can you help with general landscape maintenance to prevent these common issues?
Absolutely. Proactive maintenance is the best defense. Our regular service includes checking and adjusting sprinkler heads, refreshing mulch as needed, and inspecting plants for signs of water stress. This consistent, expert care from a local team familiar with Albuquerque's conditions helps prevent small problems from becoming major headaches, keeping your landscape resilient year-round.
