Spray on a mulched bed in Alden Bridge is how you grow fungus and waste water. Drip belongs on shrubs and trees. We repair chewed tubing, clogged emitters, and pressure regulators, and we add drip where spray never belonged.
Spray on a mulched bed in Alden Bridge throws bark into the street and grows fungus on the stems. Drip belongs on shrubs and trees. Turf stays on spray or rotors.
Emitters clog with grit. Tubing gets chewed. Pressure regulators fail and the line mists. We flush first. Replacing every emitter without a flush is a wasted hour.
Drip needs its own station and a shorter runtime than turf. If it is teed off a spray zone, we split it.
What we look for
- Mulch blowing out of a bed during a cycle
- Shrubs dry while the lawn is soaked
- Tubing chewed or pulled up
- Emitters clogged with grit
On the visit
- Find the drip station and regulator
- Flush the line and replace failed emitters
