Nashville Landscape Irrigation: Should I?

Turfgrasses, like all living plants, require water for growth and survival. Since rainfall patterns vary quite a bit in Nashville and Middle Tennessee, seasonal droughts can be common. During extended dry and hot periods in the summer, there are two choices when it comes to lawn irrigation: water the grass to keep it green and alive, or do not irrigate and see the lawn turn brown and go dormant.

If you choose to allow the lawn to go dormant, you can expect warm-season grasses such as centipede, bermuda, St. Augustine or zoysia to remain alive and grow when more favorable conditions prevail. However, fescue (and other cool-season grasses) may not fare as well. While a well-established fescue lawn can be allowed to go dormant without serious injury, a newly established lawn with a limited root system may be severely injured or killed.

We can design your Nashville irrigation system, or we can work from a plan that you already have. Our goal is to provide you with the most efficient irrigation system possible.
