It’s hard to believe, but winter is just around the corner.
And with the colder weather comes ice and freezing conditions that can wreak havoc on your landscape and sprinkler system if the right steps aren’t taken first.
Leaving water in your sprinkler system during the colder months can cause pipes to burst and other damage. So, it’s important you winterize the system before the first freeze.
Technology advances so quickly. Think about it.
Do you use the same cell phone you used five years ago? What about that old dinosaur of a computer you once used that seemed to take up the space of the entire desk?
I bet you’re using a smartphone with all of the bells and whistles today and a laptop or tablet that’s not even a fraction of the size of your last desktop computer. Maybe you even have a Bluetooth device in your ear for hands-free calls and a wireless mouse to boot.
The same can be said for landscape irrigation technology.
We’ve been getting a lot of rain this year.
Idaho Falls typically receives around 12.5 inches of rainfall a year. The entire state only receives an average of 18.9 inches, making it the 42nd wettest state in the U.S.
So it’s not normally that soggy of a state.
Spring is approximately four weeks early here in Idaho Falls.
As the weather warms and plants slowly emerge from the soil, it’s only natural for homeowners to begin to think about ways they can water their lawns and landscapes more efficiently
But a sprinkler system can seem like a mystery because the guts of the system are mostly underground. While the value, time savings and water savings of a properly and professionally installed landscape irrigation system are priceless, figuring out how to fit this installation into your budget can be a daunting task when you don’t know what a typical system might cost.
Once spring arrives in Idaho Falls, there’s no stopping folks from getting outside and getting to work on their landscape.
A traditional spring landscape service is spring sprinkler maintenance. This service is crucial at this time of year to ensure everything is running properly so your landscape can receive the water it needs and you aren’t wasting water or causing any flooding problems in the process.
