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.

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?

Have you looked at the front of your house lately? Are the plants out there working hard for you, or just hanging out?
Your foundation plants have a lot on their plates. They should offer great curb appeal, enhance your home’s best features and soften its hard edges.
They’re the plants that connect your home to the surrounding landscape.
Are yours up to the task?
Your yard is dark and gloomy. You want it bright and welcoming.
Add a few lights, right? Sounds simple enough.
Uplights? Downlights? Path lights? Well lights? Step lights? Wall wash lights?
Um, yes?
What are all these different types of landscape lighting?
Let’s shed some light on it.
Everybody remembers the day their new paver project was finished.
It was the greatest thing you’ve ever seen, right?
You posted so many patio photos on Instagram your kids were embarrassed. You sat out in the driveway so long with your groceries, just looking at those pretty pavers, your mint chip ice cream melted.
