If you suspect your sprinkler system is leaving patches unwatered, hiring experienced professionals like those at Hot Shot Sprinkler Repair & Landscape for sprinkler service in Salt Lake City is critical. Learn about the causes and impacts of coverage issues and take action to keep your yard healthy.
Coverage issues generally refer to gaps in a lawn where sprinklers are failing to reach. You may notice your lawn lacks a uniform color or length, or there are brown patches throughout the yard. This may occur at the corners or edges, or between sprinkler heads in the middle of the yard. If patches of grass or plants are dying due to underwatering despite the use of a sprinkler system, you are likely facing coverage issues.
Various causes can contribute to coverage issues, and diagnosing the correct culprit is the first step to fixing the problem. The team at Hot Shot Sprinkler Repair & Landscape can help determine the cause of your coverage issues, which may include:
Whether the passage of time or a shortfalling at installation are behind your coverage issues, Hot Shot Sprinkler Repair & Landscape can set them right!
The most obvious impact of sprinkler coverage issues is underwatering, which can lead to brown patches in your lawn or dead plants in your garden and landscaping features. While some plants are quite drought resistant and may be able to survive after a period of underwatering, others will sadly die if coverage issues continue too long without being addressed.
Coverage issues can also cause some areas of your yard to be overwatered. For example, if the coverage issues are caused by incorrect sprinkler height or a poor design, there may be overlap in some areas or there may be small patches directly around each sprinkler head that receive far too much water. In addition to the fact that many plants can be harmed by a surplus of water, this also wastes water resources. Overspending on water can unfortunately stem from unaddressed coverage issues.
Once you’ve noticed the effects of overwatering and underwatering on your beautiful landscape, it’s time to take action to address your coverage issues. Unfortunately, due to the wide range of possible causes and solutions, DIY fixes are generally not the best route.
