☀️ Rain on pause? Time to check those sprinklers! 🌧️➡️☀️
Over the past month, we saw plenty of rain across Hillsborough County, but with the showers finally tapering off this week, lawns are already starting to dry out fast.
While Florida turf grass thrives in summer heat, a sudden drying spell means your lawn can enter drought stress quickly if your irrigation isn't picking up the slack.
💡 Quick watering checklist to keep your lawn on track:
💧 Check Your Timer: Make sure your irrigation controller is switched back on and set according to local watering schedules.
🔍 Inspect Your Zones: Run a quick manual test to check for clogged nozzles, misaligned sprayers, or broken heads.
🌅 Water Early: Set timers for early morning (between 4:00 AM and 8:00 AM) to prevent excess evaporation and reduce fungus risk.
