Tims Land | Local Landscapers in Geneva, NY

While summer stress is a factor, uneven sprinkler coverage is a very common cause of dead patches in our area. Old or misaligned sprinkler heads often miss the same spots repeatedly. Tims Land offers a detailed irrigation audit to map your system's coverage, identify dry zones, and make precise adjustments to ensure your entire lawn gets the water it needs.

We take a two-step approach. First, we correct the sprinkler coverage by adjusting, repairing, or adding heads to eliminate the dry zones. Then, we revive the damaged turf through core aeration to relieve compaction, followed by overseeding with hardy grass blends suited for Geneva's climate. This combination restores both the irrigation and the grass itself for a uniform, green lawn.

Proactive maintenance is key. We recommend a spring start-up service for your irrigation system, which includes checking pressure, cleaning filters, and testing each zone for even coverage. Pair this with an annual lawn aeration from Tims Land. Aeration improves water penetration and root growth, making your Geneva lawn more drought-tolerant and less susceptible to developing new dead areas.
