βοΈ Seeing Brown or Dry Areas in Your Lawn? Check This First. π§
With the extreme North Texas heat, we're seeing more lawns develop dry areas and hot spots.
Before assuming you have a disease, insect problem, or something else going on, turn on the sprinkler zone that covers the area and actually watch it run.
Just because your sprinkler system turns on doesn't mean the water is reaching every part of your lawn.
Look for:
π§ Sprinkler heads that aren't popping up completely
π§ Tall grass blocking the spray
π§ Heads spraying in the wrong direction
π§ Clogged, tilted, or damaged heads
π§ Areas between sprinklers that aren't getting enough coverage
We've seen homeowners who thought they were watering an area regularly, only to discover that the water wasn't actually reaching the grass.
And remember, hot spots are common. Areas near sidewalks, driveways, streets, slopes, and intense afternoon sun can dry out faster and may need additional water.
π Your sprinkler controller can tell you the system ran. It can't tell you whether the grass actually received the water.
