Why Your Grass Might Be Struggling This Season and What You Can Do About It
At Niagara Sprinkler Systems, we believe that informed customers make better decisions for their properties. If you have noticed patches of dry or stressed grass in your yard, you are not alone. Florida is currently facing significant weather challenges that directly affect irrigation systems and landscape health.
Current Drought Conditions in Florida
Recent data shows that approximately 41 percent of Florida is experiencing drought conditions. An additional 17.8 percent is considered abnormally dry. As lake levels drop and water restrictions increase, irrigation schedules and performance are being impacted across the region. This weather pattern is not only unusual but also demands a proactive response from homeowners and landscape professionals alike.
What We Are Doing to Help
Our team is actively monitoring irrigation systems to ensure they operate as efficiently as possible within local guidelines. We are partnering with homeowners, property managers, and HOAs to evaluate system performance and address any issues that arise quickly. During periods of limited rainfall, it is especially important that your system is adjusted for optimal coverage and timing.
What You Can Do
Report dry spots early: If you notice areas that are drying out faster than usual, let us know. Catching problems early helps prevent long-term damage.
Be flexible with expectations: Some "hot spots" may appear on your lawn as weather conditions remain dry. This is normal during drought periods.
Stay informed: We will continue to provide updates and recommendations throughout the season. Communication is key to managing expectations and protecting your investment.
Why Proactive Maintenance Matters
Now more than ever, routine system checks, proper controller settings, and pressure adjustments are essential. Please see our resources page for a complete understanding of necessary settings and irrigation adjustments to battle drought. Neglecting maintenance during a drought can result in more costly repairs and the loss of valuable landscaping. Our team is here to make sure that does not happen.
