Why Your Sprinkler System Might Be Killing Your Lawn

Your expensive irrigation system could be the reason your lawn looks worse than your neighbor's. We see this problem constantly across Greenacres – homeowners invest thousands in sprinkler systems, then wonder why their grass keeps dying despite daily watering.

The Overwatering Trap

More water doesn't equal better grass. Florida lawns need deep, infrequent watering – not daily sprinkling. Shallow, frequent watering creates weak root systems and promotes disease. Your grass roots should reach down 6-8 inches, not spread across the surface looking for their next drink.

Timing Is Everything

Watering during midday heat wastes 50% of your water to evaporation and can actually burn grass blades. Early morning watering (4-6 AM) allows grass to dry before evening, preventing fungal problems that kill lawns from the inside out.

The Zone Coverage Problem

Uneven water distribution creates brown patches and overwatered areas in the same yard. Poor sprinkler head placement, clogged nozzles, and incorrect pressure settings turn your investment into a lawn-destroying machine.
