Why dry spots happen

Dry patches usually mean part of the yard is not getting enough water because of clogged nozzles, misaligned heads, low pressure, or a zone that is not matched to the lawn’s shape. In some cases, tree roots, compacted soil, or a hidden leak can also be part of the problem.

What to check first

  • Sprinkler heads: Look for blocked, tilted, or damaged heads.
  • Coverage pattern: Make sure spray paths overlap instead of leaving gaps.
  • Zone performance: Compare the problem area to nearby zones to see if one is weaker.
  • Soil conditions: Hard or compacted soil may need deeper, slower watering.
