You Get More With LESS

Can you have a greener lawn and landscape with LESS water? The answer is YES! All you have to do is apply the water evenly.

Most people have a spot in the lawn that is always dry. Usually to compensate for this dead spot, people just run their sprinklers longer. With this process the spot tends to go away, however, soon different pests show up as a result. Some of these pests could be sod web worms of fungus. Dry spots appear in your lawn because of unevenly applied water, leading to chinch bugs.

The first thing you must have is an irrigation system that applies water evenly. This way, during a drought you have a way to keep the lawn and landscape healthy. Unevenly applied water is the biggest reason for over-irrigating.

We have always preached a rain sensor or moisture sensor so your irrigation system does not water the lawn when it has rained. Now we have something better and cost effective than these sensors: the smart controller!

The smart controller changes the run times of the irrigation system in accordance to the weather conditions. For example, when it is hot and dry the water run time increases. When the weather is more wet or cold the smart controller automatically decreases the amount of time the lawn is irrigated. This occurs every day. The new key is to give the lawn what it needs to be healthy.
