As the famous saying goes, “The grass is always greener…” but in a lot of cases when it comes to our lawns, the green is not there at all.  And in Lubbock, where the temperatures and overall weather can vary in major ways – from super hot to super cold in the same week – it is key to work hard at a lot of different things so that the grass is greener on your side of the fence.  I’ve found that one of the main things that you have to have going for you so that this very thing happens is a working sprinkler system that can properly water your grass in every spot so that there are no brown patches or dead sections.  (Proper fertilization and professionals who can work on and consult on your lawn are key too.)  Since sprinkler systems are so important, one has to make sure that they are working right.

It’s easy to assume that when you set the watering schedule for your yard all of the sprinkler heads are working.  I know I certainly don’t watch my grass get watered and thus I wouldn’t know if I had any broken sprinkler heads (this can be the cause of a part of the lawn not getting watered and thus will result in those frustrating dead spots.)  So, I recommend to any of you out there who care about the condition of your lawn to watch your sprinkler system when it turns on and try to note if all of your sprinkler heads are working.  Actually, you might want to make sure that your entire sprinkler system is working.  Otherwise your brown yard might be the eyesore that causes angst on your block.

Anyway, if you do find that you need Lubbock sprinkler system repair or even just Lubbock sprinkler head repair, make it a priority to find a highly reputable local company who knows what they are doing.  There are plenty of them out there, but I recommend checking out websites and reviews to get the best idea of which company is the best.  I personally vouch for a group called Rainmaker Irrigation (www.wateringdryplaces.com) but you will have to do your own discovery.  I certainly don’t want to lead anyone astray on this issue.

Okay, that’s all I have for now.  I’d love to hear back from you as to which companies you have trusted in the past with your sprinkler system repairs and what you think of them.  Until then, happy watering and may your lawn be the greenest on the block!
