Lawn Care and Sprinkler Systems.

 Did you Know?

ü       Promote Safety and Health:  Thick turf reduces fire hazard, reduces injury to children and athletes and provides a safety buffer for roadsides and airport runways.

ü       Improve the Environment:  Turf moderates the climate.  It cools city streets and reduces energy costs of cooling homes and business.  Eight averaged-sized lawns have the  cooling effect of 70 tons of air conditioning; the average home-size air conditioner has just a 3 to 4-ton capacity

ü   Improve Property Values:   Proper and well-maintained lawns and landscaping, can add up to 15 percent to a home’s value.  62% of all U.S. homeowners believe investing in lawns and landscaping is as good or better an investment as other home improvements

ü   A turf area 50 by 50 feet releases enough oxygen to meet the needs of a family of four.  Turfgrass also absorbs smog-produced ozone and sulfur dioxide.  Its root system helps the soil breathe and allows water to enter.

ü   Healthy Turf reduces allergic reactions caused by dust and other particles in the air.  It’s estimated turfgrasses trap much of the 12 million tons of dust and dirt released each year into the atmosphere.  Turf also reduces noise level as much as 30% and cuts glare along roadsides.

ü      An improperly designed sprinkler system requires more service during the first two seasons than a properly designed system does during it’s life.

ü      A backflow prevention device protects your drinking water supply and should be installed on every lawn sprinkler system.

ü      An average residential installation should take no more than two days

ü      A contractor needs to thoroughly inspect your property in order to provide you with a legitimate proposal.

ü      A proposal should contain all the specific information needed for you to make an informed decision.  (Always ask for details)

ü      Installing sprinkler heads too far apart makes it impossible to obtain proper overlap and will result in brown spots around the head.
