Summer Watering and Smart Irrigation in St. Louis

Written by Kelly Dowell | 7/31/17 6:36 PM

Is your lawn drying out in certain spots during the summer drought?

Here are 3 quick tips:

  1. During this bad stretch of hot weather & drought, consider watering every day. 
  2. Water in the morning, not the middle of the day, to prevent fungus outbreaks. 
  3. Look around for an irrigation coverage issue. Ideally we want zones to overlap with each other, and that may not be happening in some of the brown areas. In addition, any large trees, signs, or overgrown bushes could also be causing obstacles.

Our irrigation department is here to help! 

Our St. Louis Irrigation Inspection Service includes a skilled technican who will:

  • Check all of the heads to make sure they are functioning properly 
  • Activate each zone ensuring proper water coverage & reducing waste
  • Set the times to be appropriate for the heat of the summer season 
  • Identify any old parts, malfunctioning pieces or repairs needed 

In addition, our technicians are trained to offer smart water usage recommendations including water smart controllers, rain sensors and more! 

 

Dowco offers inspections at a discounted rate of $55 for the first hour of work (normally $99) as a reward for proactively monitoring your landscape.
