Sprinkler Systems

Since spring is here, the next project to tackle was the sprinkler system. The previous owner didn’t maintain the lawn very well. The lawn was in pretty bad shape when we took over. I think the sprinklers were never turned on for a whole year! Since the yard was overgrown with weeds, we had a gardener came out to clean out the weeds for us. I think it would have taken us weeks to get the job done ourselves. 

John tested the sprinklers to make sure they work. John counted, and we have 65 sprinkler heads in total! 0_o With the help of Jimmy, they fixed the ones that were broken. And those that cannot be fixed were replaced with new sprinkler heads.

Now we can set timer so our sprinkler can go off at certain time.

the lawn- looking pretty dead.

Hopefully with more frequent watering, the grass will turn green. Sigh, the harsh hot summer in Cali will not help the situation. Well, at least we are feeding them with water again!
