More rain is on the way, no need to water just yet. 1" of water per week is enough for a healthy lawn in May and June. In July and August 1.5" to 2" is necessary to keep your lawn in optimum condition. Don't depend on your rain sensor, shut off your system after rain.

I know it is supposed to be really warm on Tuesday but unless your lawn shows stress there is no need to start watering. The grass is just starting to grow and those roots are growing deeper. Deeper roots will mean hardier grass this summer. They are calling for rain next weekend!

It is time! The temperatures are rising and the snow is melting! It's time to start some irrigation systems. Mother nature has decided that I should start three weeks later than normal this year. Please know that I have not forgotten about you but things are just a little behind this year.

I have been starting systems for three weeks now and I plan to have all of the irrigation systems that I maintain, up and ready to go by Memorial Day. Just because your system has been started doesn't mean that you have to be running it. We have had plenty of precipitation recently and it looks like the rain will continue for the immediate future. Overwatering causes mold, keeps the roots near the surface (making your lawn more susceptible to heat stress this summer), and increases your water bill.

Your irrigation system is winterized and you are set until next spring. Well maybe! In my experience 1 out of 100 shut off valves leak. To check this you should observe your backflow immediately outside your house. The contractor that winterized your system should have left the drain plug out and left the backflow test c**k partially open. If you observe any water dripping outside, you likely have a leaking valve. At that point you should drain the water inside the house after the irrigation shut off valve, leaving the drain open (if it is in a convenient location where you can put a bucket beneath it) to prevent the water from accumulating in the pipe again. Next call a plumber to have the valve replaced. This is worth checking each time you walk by your irrigation piping outside the house. Replacing the backflow typically cost $250.00 to $350.00.
