Landscapers Watertown SD | Call Professional Landscaping & Lawn Irrigation

For Watertown's dense clay soils, core aeration is the most effective solution. This process removes small plugs of soil, alleviating compaction to allow air, water, and nutrients to reach grass roots. We recommend annual aeration in the spring or fall to maintain soil health and prevent runoff, which is common in our area after heavy rains.

Yes, timer or controller malfunctions are a frequent issue here, often due to power surges, moisture, or aging equipment. We provide a full system check, including testing the controller, wiring, and valves. We often upgrade systems to weather-based smart controllers that adjust watering based on local conditions, saving water and protecting your lawn.

We recommend servicing your irrigation system twice a year in our climate: once in the spring to activate and check for winter damage, and again in the fall to winterize it properly. This regular maintenance helps prevent costly repairs from freeze damage and ensures efficient operation throughout the growing season.
