Professional Landscapers in Austin, TX 78746 - Nature's Source Landscape & Maintenance

We use professional core aeration to relieve soil compaction, a common issue in our area. This process removes small plugs of soil, creating channels for air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deep into the root zone. We often combine this with top-dressing using quality compost to further improve soil structure and health, helping your grass develop a stronger, more drought-resistant root system.

First, check your controller's timer and battery. In Austin, power surges and heat can cause timers to reset or fail. Ensure the time and date are correct and the program is active. Next, inspect the system manually by running each zone; look for broken or clogged sprinkler heads, which are also common culprits. If the issue persists, our team can perform a full diagnostic and repair to ensure efficient, even coverage.

We recommend a seasonal approach. In spring and fall, core aeration combats soil compaction. Before summer, a thorough irrigation system check-up—testing zones, adjusting heads, and updating controller schedules—is crucial for water efficiency. Year-round, we suggest regular mowing at the proper height and seasonal fertilization to keep your lawn robust and better able to handle our local stresses like heat and sporadic rainfall.
