This is a very common issue here, often caused by sprinkler coverage gaps, clogged heads, or improper pressure. We start with a comprehensive irrigation audit, checking each zone for overlap and efficiency. The solution typically involves adjusting sprinkler head angles, replacing damaged heads, or redesigning zones to ensure every part of your lawn receives consistent, adequate water without waste.

Signs include standing water after irrigation or rain, soggy areas, and soil erosion. In our area, proper grading is crucial for directing water away from your home's foundation and preventing root rot in your plants. We correct poor grading by carefully reshaping the soil's slope to ensure positive drainage, protecting your property's structure and creating a healthier environment for your landscape.

Absolutely. Fixing coverage gaps and grading problems is the first step toward water efficiency.
