Irrigation Checks

     Although it may not seem like it now, warm weather will be upon us shortly.  If you have an irrigation system, now is the time to make sure it's up and running properly. Checking for breaks, leaks, and proper run times will not only make sure your yard looks great, but can also save you a lot of money. Burton's All Season Landscaping specializes in irrigation and can make sure your system is operating properly. Our irrigation checks start as low as $15. Our checklist includes:
  • Checking each zone for broken or leaking pipes
  • Checking each rotor or spray head for proper operation and spray pattern.
  • Checking the controller for the proper run-times and timing.
  • Checking for main-line leaks or breaks.
  • Adjusting rotors and spray heads - No additional charge!
  • Providing a quote to repair or replace any areas that need attention.
     A properly operating irrigation system can make your landscaping look great by watering the landscaping enough so there are no dry areas that can damage the shrubs, trees, and turf. Also, by repairing any broken or leaking pipes, there will by no "wash-outs" which are not only visually unappealing, but also dangerous. By properly timing the irrigation, you can also save money. Irrigation is best when run in the very early morning before sunrise. This ensures minimum evaporation, but allows any standing water to evaporate when the sun rises and thus minimizes fungus. Adjusting watering times to best suit the type and maturity of the plants being watered by that zone can also save you money by not over-watering. This also promotes better root growth and plant health.

Spring Start Up...

Hello everyone. Now that everything is starting to warm up, here are some tips to get your yard in shape for the start of the season:
- For Bermuda lawns, now is the time to scalp and bag your Bermuda. Mow it short and bag the clippings. This will remove the dormant layer on top and allow the ground underneath to warm up faster. This in turn will allow the grass to "green up" quicker.  
- Also, now is the time to put out your pre-emergent for lawns. This will help control weeds before they get show up in the lawn.
- Getting leaves out of the beds and off the lawn should also be done.  
- Installing new mulch will give your beds a fresh look. Mulch comes in a variety of colors and textures such as black, brown, red, gold as well as pine bark nuggets, mini nuggets, pine straw, and rubber mulch.

These are just a few tips to help start your yard off right for the season. For more information, give us a call (864) 378-2932 or check out our website- www.BurtonsAllSeason.com
