July is here! And satisfying your plants need for water seems like an impossible feat. Here are some key guidelines and routines to help keep up with summer's unquenchable thirst.

Checking in - Checking your home and commercial system for under and over watering is key. As the weather changes, so should your irrigation system to meet plants and lawns summer needs. Ideally, systems should be checked in June and August.

Dealing with Drought - California and many other states are feeling pressure of water restrictions. During times of drought, having an efficient irrigation system is crucial. Incentives for smart controllers, drip irrigation systems, and lawn replacements are available and worth taking        advantage of.

First Signs of Trouble - Early detection can save a lawn and plants before it is too late. Brown spots are easy to spot, but plants too need attention. Checking for nozzle or emitter clogs will help save plants from dying. Also, ensuring the water droplet size is optimized will help eliminate misting.

Common Mistakes - Often times we "set it and forget it" at the beginning of the season, but clocks need to be adjusted to prevent over and under watering. Using soil-moisture sensors and weather-based products can help finesse your irrigation system.
