Consistent watering is the key to maintaining a picture perfect landscape filled with beautiful turf and plants. It is during the summer months that landscaping often sustains the most damage due to lack of water. One of the easiest ways to manage watering is with an installed irrigation system. At the bare minimum, a conventional hose and sprinklers must be used throughout the summer to sustain landscaping. Water landscaping and gardens every other day during the driest periods of the year for best results.

For most lawns and gardens, watering should be set up for a penetration level of 6” to 8” below the surface areas of the soil. If you experience dry areas or wet spots, adjust the watering tools, such as sprinkler heads. For some areas, like shrub plantings or floral beds, other techniques and tools may be used, including dripper hose systems, soaker hose systems, and water emitter spray heads.

Peach Tree Inc. Landscaping professional crews are experts providing all landscaping services, including seasonal checks of irrigation systems for proper functioning and patterns. Irrigation systems should be checked weekly to avoid wasting water if sprinkler heads or drip emitters are broken or misaligned. Our crews also do maintenance mowing of landscaped areas. Professional mowing services can conserve summer watering use by keeping lawn areas at the optimal height to keep lawns healthy and to make the best use of watering.

Summer watering is only as effective as the devices being used to disperse the water over the landscaping and onto beds. Clogged or broken sprinkler heads, misaligned spray heads and other problems with watering systems can impede healthy growth and cause brown spots or dead plants. Our crews check out sprinkler heads and complete watering systems for pattern effectiveness and conservation.
