The most effective approach combines prevention and maintenance. We start by removing existing weeds, then apply a pre-emergent herbicide to prevent new seeds from germinating. For long-term control, we recommend installing a fresh layer of high-quality mulch, which blocks sunlight and retains moisture for your plants while suppressing weed growth. This proactive strategy is tailored to our local soil and climate.

Common signs include brown patches, overly soggy areas, or visible dry spots shortly after watering. We perform a thorough system audit, checking each sprinkler head for clogs, misalignment, or damage. Often, the fix is as simple as adjusting the spray pattern or replacing a faulty head. For older systems, we might recommend upgrading to more efficient nozzles that provide more uniform coverage and conserve water.

Start with a professional sprinkler system tune-up to eliminate waste from leaks or overspray. We also suggest grouping plants with similar water needs (hydrozoning) and considering drought-tolerant native plants that thrive in our climate. Adding a layer of mulch reduces evaporation. These steps not only save water but also lead to a healthier, more resilient landscape that's easier to maintain.
