Master Sprinkler Systems will start up your system at the beginning of the season, ensuring a full spring, summer and fall of proper watering.

City Watering Restrictions

Master Sprinkler Systems would like to remind you to check your local city's website for any and all watering rules and restrictions.

Fall Blow-Outs

Winterizing your system is a very important aspect of owning an irrigation system. Blowing out your system improperly will cause damage. Make sure that doesn't happen to you and have Master Sprinkler Systems winterize your system.

Watering Restrictions
Most municipalities have some restrictions on when you can water your lawn. Please check with your local officials to find any current restrictions that might apply. Failure to comply with restrictions could result in fine(s).

Watering Tips
The most efficient time to water is early morning. Lower temperatures, less sunlight and less wind at that time result in less evaporation and better pattern coverage. Wet grass from early evening watering can promote growth of turfgrass diseases.

How Much Water
Generally lawns need 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week including rainfall. June through September our average rainfall is about half this much.
Ideally the soil should be wet (damp to the touch) down to 5 inches so the roots grow deep and the grass becomes healthier and more tolerant. To do this, water longer and less frequently. Frequent watering with less water will cause the roots to stay shallow.

Watering Frequency
The answer to this is different for every location due to several factors: Soil type (holding capacity and infiltration rates), exposure, grass type(s), climatic conditions, how the area is used and health and maturity of the grass. These need to be considered when setting the watering days and length of time for each zone.
