“A verdant lawn makes a wonderful foil for flower borders and creates an emerald focal point in winter when color is in short supply. There are different types of turf for different situations but all lawns benefit from regular mowing, and care and attention in the spring and autumn.”

How can I save water this summer?

“You can literally save thousands of gallons of water in your landscape, and save your plants from drowning, with the proper setting of your irrigation controller. But you can’t just set it and forget it. You need to change the watering schedules as plants become established, with the changing seasons, and when it rains. Here’s [a link to] an easy guide to make setting your irrigation controller easier than programming your VCR”

How do I stop my sprinkler from spraying onto the sidewalk?

“If your irrigation heads are spraying onto sidewalks or walls, or if your lawn is not being watered evenly, it is time to adjust the water pattern. You will first need to determine if the sprinkler has a stationary spray head or a rotor nozzle, since the adjustment procedure is not the same for both.

At the top of a stationary spray head nozzle you will find a small radius adjustment screw. Align the nozzle in such a way to keep the spray on your lawn. If the spray head is creating too much mist, try closing the adjustment screw slightly. A clockwise turn or two should reduce the misting by lowering the water pressure inside the nozzle. The screw can be closed considerably without reducing the spray distance.

If the irrigation head is of the rotor variety, you will need to properly set the spray arc and radius. This determines how far the irrigation head turns while on and how far it will spray. Rotor nozzles are held in place with a setscrew located on the side of the stem. Since the method of adjusting rotor nozzles varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, follow their instructions when making these adjustments.

Whether dealing with stationary spray heads or rotor nozzle sprinklers, make sure that each irrigation head sprays over to the next irrigation head, in every direction. Although this may seem to be a waste of water, it is the way sprinkler systems are designed. If head to head coverage cannot be made even after making adjustments, your heads may be spaced too far apart. At this point, an irrigation specialist may be your best bet to help determine a solution. In the meantime, some lawn relief may be found by increasing the sprinkler operation time.”

Watering

“In dry periods, water newly laid turf, freshly sown areas, and high-quality lawns. Leave established lawns unwatered, but stop mowing because longer grass helps protect the roots. The grass may turn brown, but will recover once it rains.”

“Water a new lawn every week in dry spells, until it is established. You can tell when fine lawns need watering because they lose their spring when walked on. Reduce water evaporation by using sprinklers early in the morning or at night. Move seep hoses by 8 inches every half hour.”
