J&C Genelar Landscaping: Experienced Landscaping Serving San Rafael, CA 94901

Common signs include soggy spots in your lawn, a sudden spike in your water bill, reduced water pressure in the sprinklers, or visible pooling water even when the system is off. The clay-heavy soils in parts of San Rafael can sometimes mask leaks. J&C Genelar offers a professional leak detection service to pinpoint issues accurately and prevent water waste and lawn damage.

Bare patches are often caused by compacted soil, poor drainage, or uneven irrigation. For a lasting fix, we recommend core aeration to relieve soil compaction, followed by top-dressing with quality compost and overseeding with a grass blend suited for our local microclimate. It's crucial to first correct any underlying irrigation issues to ensure the new grass receives consistent water without being washed away or drowned.

Absolutely. Water efficiency starts with a healthy, properly irrigated lawn. We perform a comprehensive irrigation audit to check for leaks, adjust spray heads for optimal coverage, and recommend system upgrades like smart controllers that adjust watering based on local weather. By fixing leaks and ensuring your system waters only where needed, we help you conserve water, lower your bill, and maintain a greener landscape, even during dry periods.
