Tips & guides
Practical guides from our DeSoto irrigation team: how to spot sprinkler problems, fix the simple ones yourself, and know when it is time to call a pro.
Spray head sprinkler vs rotary: compare coverage, water use, wind performance, maintenance and price to choose the right type for your lawn shape and size.
Choose rotary sprinklers for large lawns and spray sprinklers for smaller, defined spaces.
Raise sprinkler heads without digging using riser extensions, extender kits or adjustable heads, with a simple step-by-step guide to improve lawn coverage.
Shut off the water supply before you start adjusting any sprinkler head.
Find out why your pop up sprinklers are not retracting, with the common causes and step-by-step fixes for debris, low pressure, worn parts and installation.
Unscrew the head and clean out dirt and grass clippings, since debris is a common reason heads will not retract.
Is your sprinkler solenoid malfunctioning? Learn the signs of a bad solenoid, plus how to test it with a visual check, a multimeter and a swap test.
Watch for a sprinkler that will not shut off, uneven pressure with brown spots and pooling, or unexpected leaks.
Sprinkler heads vs nozzles explained: learn what each part does, how spray, rotary and pop-up heads differ, and how to pick the right nozzle for your lawn.
The sprinkler head is the whole unit, while the nozzle is the part that sets pattern, distance and droplet size.
Is it better to run lawn sprinklers at night or morning? See why early morning watering protects your lawn and why night watering invites disease.
Water early in the morning, between 4 a.m. and 8 a.m., for the best results.
Find out why your sprinklers are barely spraying, from clogs and pressure problems to poor design, seasonal changes, wear and tear, and user errors.
Clean sprinkler heads and filters regularly, and flush the system at the start and end of the irrigation season.
Wondering how to tell if a sprinkler controller is bad? Learn the warning signs, quick fixes to try first, and when to call an irrigation professional.
Check that an unresponsive controller is set to auto before calling for repair.
Sprinkler system won't turn on? Learn how to spot and fix clogged heads, heads broken by lawn mowers and supply pipes damaged by tree roots.
Clean clogged heads by shutting off water, removing the nozzle and filter, and brushing the filter under running water.
