Lawn Irrigation or Maintenance — Do It Smartly!

In southern California, we really need to have lawn irrigation if you want to grow anything like grass. It can also help with fire safety, depending on how you have it configured. There are multiple ways this issue can be solved.

Option 1 — Hire somebody! This is probably the solution you are doing right now, but it is constantly leaving you tied to someone else’s schedule and pricing. By using various technology solutions, you can minimize your paid service to only do monthly or seasonal maintenance.

Option 2 — Replace with zero scape yard. For some, this is a mostly rock design, but many of the local plants are designed to work with the current climate conditions. This means you don’t need to water except for a few times a year during the worst of the dry season. These yards can be beautiful with very little maintenance!

Option 3 — Most people cannot or don’t want to redo the entire yard. Most of us need a more balanced update to our yards. This starts by reviewing what you like or dislike about your yard. Now you can start making changes that will achieve what is really not working for you! This might be removing the bushes that require frequent trimming, replace/remove a tree that is near end of life, and review the conditions of your plants to see what is working and what is not.

Now, once you have that data, you can review some technology solutions to see what is the best fit. This could be just a rain gauge to make sure you don’t water when water has fallen from the sky recently. You may want something more accurate and allows you to water in a zone specific manner! This would involve adding soil moister sensors so plants that need different water requirements can be watered specific to their needs, but not a gallon extra.

A major upgrade would be if you tied this to AI or other monitoring technology. Most of them can be accessed via your phone. Very important information for ensuring your yard really showcases your home!

Give me a call if you require some help trying to figure out what type of update best fits your needs!

And don’t forget, if you have a small yard and like to do it yourself, a “robot” lawn mower may be the solution for you!
