Well-maintained landscaping adds to the beauty of your property, and in order to keep those plants and grass beautiful, you need to keep them watered. Because of their efficiency, most commercial properties have an underground sprinkler system. But don’t get lulled into a false sense of security. As with any piece of equipment that gets regular use, you’ll want to make sure it’s properly maintained.
Here’s why:
- A lack or lapse in your service can result in broken or damaged equipment, which could lead to more costly repairs later down the road.
- Sprinkler heads that are not properly adjusted have a tendency to waste water because they spray unneeded areas, like parking spaces and entryways.
- Regular maintenance will help insure that the water spray is used in an optimal manner. It cuts down on an overabundance of water in some areas and dry spots in others.
- Your property’s sprinkler heads can be a danger if not regularly maintained. A distracted customer, children or others walking inattentively can easily trip on exposed sprinkler heads. An irrigation maintenance contractor will help ensure that sprinkler heads are kept flush with the ground when not running.
