In our area, power surges from storms and general wear on older components are frequent culprits. We start by diagnosing the specific issue—whether it's a faulty timer, a wiring problem, or a damaged solenoid valve. Our fix involves replacing the defective part with a durable, weather-resistant model and often includes installing a surge protector to prevent future problems, ensuring your lawn gets consistent, scheduled watering.

Bare patches here are often due to compacted soil, shade, or pest damage. We first address the underlying cause, then core aerate and overseed with high-quality grass blends suited for Long Island's climate. The ideal times for this are early fall or mid-to-late spring, when temperatures are moderate, giving new grass the best chance to establish strong roots before summer heat or winter frost.

Consistency is key. Beyond proper mowing and watering, we recommend a tailored, seasonal fertilization and weed control program. The soil composition here can vary, so a soil test helps us customize nutrients. Also, scheduling a spring irrigation system check-up prevents mid-summer timer failures, and a fall aeration prepares your lawn for strong growth the following year.
