Maybe your current irrigation system maintenance checklist looks like this:
No offense, but that’s a terrible checklist.
If you have a brand new sod lawn of St. Augustine grass, lucky you.
This popular sod is a top contender for the best sod in Orlando with its dark green color, course texture, and dense coverage.
If you dream of having a pool party but have no pool, a flooded backyard could actually work out for you.
Or if you want to start a home business training seals.

Still, it happens to the best of us.
So, your grass is turning yellow. Or your grass is turning brown.
Whyyyyyyyyy???!!!
Don’t panic. Here’s what might be happening out there, and what you — or your lawn care company — should do about it.
When little kids are coloring and it’s time to do the grass, they don’t grab the brown crayon.
Even preschoolers know grass is supposed to be green.
When you look out at your once-thriving lawn and see brown, it’s time to grab your green crayons. (If only it were that easy, right?)
