If you have an artificial turf lawn, have you looked at it closely lately?
You’re probably too busy deep sea fishing or taking tango lessons or doing all the fun stuff a homeowner can do when they don’t have to mow, weed or fertilize their lawn. Lucky.
But if you’ve had your easy care lawn for a while, take a close look. Your artificial turf’s lifespan isn’t forever.
Can we all take a minute to swear about weeds?
They’re in your lawn, in your flower beds and they even sneak into your planters.
You might think you fooled the leafy villains with that paver project. There’s no way weeds can sprout in hard concrete pavers, right?
Sorry. If you think pavers can prevent weeds, you don’t know weeds.
Landscape maintenance is a year-round thing here in Central Florida, thanks to that mild weather the northerners envy.
Palm fronds drop year round. Crape Myrtles get trimmed in winter. Hedges might need snipping any time of year.
But spring is a great time for a fresh start, landscape-wise.
Something’s not right with your sprinkler system, and this is the last thing you need now, right?
We’ll cross our fingers for you that it’s just a clogged nozzle or a stuck valve — nothing major.
But you might have to get your hands dirty.
How do you fix a broken sprinkler?
Let’s walk through a few common irrigation system problems and how to fix them.
Maybe your plan to deal with your lawn drainage problem is to hope it goes away, and post a sign that says “Do Not Feed the Ducks.”
Sure, that’s the easiest plan. But it won’t solve your drainage problem. And you might have to buy really tall rubber boots.
French drains are often the gold standard to solve drainage problems, but If you’re not crazy about embarking on a whole big thing, that’s understandable.
There are a few things you can try first.
Your trusty irrigation system is hanging out, doing its thing, keeping your lawn green and your flowers healthy.
Then, one day, a truck full of concrete pavers shows up. A skid steer starts zooming around. There’s talk of new sod.
What the heck? Your irrigation system is understandably anxious. What about all its lines tenderly tucked underground? What about all its reliable sprinkler heads?
A new landscaping project is exciting — to you. But will there be lawn irrigation damage your sprinkler system should stress out about?
Sure, Florida is known for its bright golden sun, and it’s why so many tropical plants thrive here.
But everybody needs a break from the blazing rays once in a while — even plants.
So, you’re planning to order a delivery of fresh, green sod to install, finally making your yard that lush oasis of your dreams.
Pretty exciting! Delivery day can’t come soon enough, right?
