Placer Landscaping Company | Professional Landscaping in Auburn, CA

In our area, the first and most common culprit is often the irrigation system. Before assuming it's a disease or pest, check for a faulty irrigation timer or a clogged or misaligned sprinkler head. A timer that has reset or malfunctioned can stop watering entirely, while a single blocked sprinkler can create a specific dry zone. We recommend a simple visual inspection during a watering cycle. If the issue isn't obvious, our team can perform a comprehensive irrigation audit to diagnose and fix the problem efficiently.

Absolutely. Incorrect or failed timer programming is a frequent issue we see in Auburn homes, especially with older models. We can service and reprogram most existing timers to ensure they deliver the right amount of water at optimal times for our local climate. If your timer is outdated or broken beyond repair, we offer installation of new, smart irrigation controllers. These modern systems can automatically adjust watering based on local weather data, helping you conserve water and prevent both over and under-watering that leads to those troublesome dry patches.

For a sustainable solution, we often recommend transitioning problem dry areas to drought-tolerant landscaping, a practice perfectly suited to Auburn's climate. This can involve installing native plants, permeable hardscapes, or efficient drip irrigation zones that deliver water directly to plant roots. We assess your soil, sun exposure, and water usage to design a resilient landscape that reduces reliance on traditional sprinklers, minimizes water waste, and stays green and attractive even during dry spells, effectively solving the dry patch issue for good.
