Question Answers
Why are my shrubs dying even though my irrigation system seems to run?
This is a common issue in our area. Often, the problem isn't a lack of water, but improper delivery. Your timer may be set incorrectly for the season, or sprinkler heads could be clogged or misaligned, leaving some shrubs underwatered while others are flooded. Old Colony Landscaping can perform a full system audit, check for timer programming errors, and ensure each plant zone is receiving the right amount of water to thrive.
My irrigation timer stopped working. Can you fix it, or do I need a whole new system?
In most cases, a malfunctioning timer can be repaired or replaced without redoing your entire irrigation system. We carry and install modern, water-efficient timers that are easier to program and more reliable. Our technicians will diagnose the issue—whether it's a wiring problem, a damaged module, or just an outdated model—and provide a straightforward, cost-effective solution to get your watering schedule back on track.
What's the best way to prevent shrub and plant loss during a dry Taunton summer?
Prevention starts with a smart, automated watering schedule and using drought-resistant plants suited to our local climate. We recommend a professional spring tune-up for your irrigation system to check for leaks, adjust spray patterns, and program your timer for the growing season. For new plantings or replacements, we advise selecting native and adaptive species that require less water once established. A consistent, deep watering schedule is far more effective than frequent, shallow watering.
