Recheck Front Range Spray After Trees Close Over the Lawn

A head that threw cleanly five years ago may now hit a trunk, a hedge, or last year's bed expansion.

Trees close the arc before the timer notices

A Denver or Highlands Ranch system can run every watering day and still miss turf because a maple or a bed edge now sits in the spray. Adding minutes will not move a blocked head. NationScapes watches the zone run, then decides whether to raise, relocate, or convert the head. See sprinkler repair when hardware is the issue.


Do not hide a blocked head with more runtime

Longer programs waste water on the wet spots and still starve the blocked edge. Match nozzles on the same zone. Wind on the Front Range turns mist into overspray. Pruning the plant is sometimes cheaper than moving the head. Say if a tree crew is already booked.
