Lance’s Landscaping - Sacramento's Certified Landscaping Services

In Sacramento, dry patches are often caused by compacted soil, poor irrigation coverage, or thatch buildup. We start by diagnosing the specific issue—checking your irrigation system's spray patterns and testing soil compaction. Solutions typically include aerating the soil to improve water penetration, adjusting sprinkler heads for even coverage, and implementing a proper watering schedule for our local climate. For severe cases, we may recommend soil amendments or targeted reseeding to restore your lawn's health.

We use a systematic approach to find irrigation leaks that Sacramento homeowners often miss. First, we conduct a pressure test and inspect all visible components for damage or misalignment. Using specialized equipment, we can pinpoint underground leaks without unnecessary digging. Repairs depend on the leak's location—we might replace damaged pipes, fix faulty valves, or adjust sprinkler heads. We always check your entire system afterward to ensure efficiency, which is crucial in our area where water conservation matters.

Sacramento's distinct seasons require specific care. In spring, we recommend checking irrigation systems after winter, aerating if needed, and addressing any dry patches early. Summer calls for monitoring watering schedules during heat waves and adjusting for sun exposure changes. Fall is ideal for overseeding thin areas and preparing systems for cooler weather. Before winter, we suggest blowing out irrigation lines to prevent freeze damage. Regular seasonal check-ups help catch small problems before they become major issues in our local climate.
