Dry Lawn in Salt Lake City? Start with These Checks

Hot, dry weather can stress a Salt Lake lawn. Check soil moisture and sprinkler coverage before assuming brown grass needs more watering.
Immediate Steps to Revive Your Lawn
1. Watering Schedule
Check soil moisture and coverage before increasing watering. Early morning is generally preferable; follow your provider’s permitted hours and use cycle-and-soak if runoff occurs.
2. Check Sprinkler Coverage
Make sure your sprinkler system is covering your entire lawn. Sometimes, areas can be missed, leading to a dry lawn. Sprinkler Master Repair SLC UT can inspect and adjust your system for optimal coverage. Give us a call at (385) 226-5764 to schedule an inspection.
3. Mulch and Aerate
Returning suitable grass clippings can help the lawn; this does not mean spreading landscape mulch over grass. For cool-season lawns, plan core aeration during active growth rather than treating heat stress with immediate aeration.
Preventative Measures for a Healthy Lawn
1. Regular Maintenance
Regular maintenance of your sprinkler system keeps it working well. Schedule periodic check-ups to avoid any issues. For professional maintenance services in the Salt Lake area, contact us at (385) 226-5764.
2. Smart Irrigation Systems
A correctly configured weather-based controller can adjust schedules. It cannot guarantee water savings or compensate for leaks, poor coverage, or incorrect setup.
3. Soil Health
For soil testing and plant-health questions, contact USU Extension or a soil laboratory. Our sprinkler services focus on irrigation diagnosis, repairs, and controls.
