Sunshine abounds this time of year – and while we’re celebrating, our landscaping may be suffering. Tap into a few key tips to save water and keep your property at its best throughout the summer months.

The Rule of Three

The team at Doctor Sprinkler has worked with virtually every type of property imaginable: we’ve seen exteriors with lots of sun and those that are blanketed by shade, we’ve seen drought-resistant gardens and beautiful plots that need constant hydration, and we’ve seen sprawling lawns and compact back yards.

The takeaway? Every property is different, and every property deserves a watering plan that is tailored to its unique needs. During the summer months, we recommend taking three key actions:

1. Examine what you’ve got
If you already have a sprinkler system in place, it’s a good idea to give it an inspection to make sure the valves are working, that it’s free of leaks, and that it’s tending to all the parts of your exterior that need attention. If you do not already have a sprinkler system, it might be time to invest in one – it will keep your property compliant with water conservation regulations and will help you minimize water use and maximize impact.
2. Think about what you need
The summer months are different than any other time of year. With a sprinkler service from our team, you can get upgrades, leak repair, nozzle adjustment, controller and rain sensor installation, and more. We can also help you modernize your system to ensure that it’s using less water – and running more efficiently in the process.
3. Stay attentive
Issues can arise without warning. Stay alert, and look for any anomalies during the summer. If you notice a leak, an inconsistency, or a spike in your water bill, don’t delay in calling Doctor Sprinkler. We can help you catch the issue early on to avoid more expensive issues down the road.

Your property can be lush, healthy, and beautiful during the summer months – and that doesn’t mean that you need to use water inefficiently to do so. With a sprinkler system maintenance plan in place, your exterior and your wallet will both be happy!
