Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from Richardson homeowners about sprinkler repair and irrigation services from Better Earth Solutions.

Q

Why does my lawn in Richardson have brown spots?

A

Richardson's established neighborhoods often have mature trees that compete with lawns for water. Brown spots near trees indicate root competition. Adjust irrigation to provide deeper, less frequent watering, and consider separate zones for shaded areas under trees.

Q

What's the best watering schedule for Richardson?

A

Water twice weekly before 10 AM following Richardson's restrictions. Established neighborhoods with mature trees may need longer run times (but still using cycle-and-soak method) to penetrate the root zone. Newly developed areas near Cityline may have different soil conditions - test absorption rates.

Q

How do I winterize my sprinklers in Richardson?

A

Winterize Richardson systems by mid-November. Many older Richardson homes have copper pipes that are particularly susceptible to freeze damage. Drain all lines, blow out with compressed air, and insulate all above-ground components. A smart controller like Rachio can automatically pause watering during freeze events and help protect your system year-round.

Q

My Richardson home has an old sprinkler system. Should I repair or replace?

A

Systems over 20 years old in Richardson often benefit from full replacement. Older systems use more water, have outdated coverage patterns, and lack smart technology. A modern system can reduce water usage by 30-50% while providing better coverage and easier maintenance.
