Dry spots usually show up as irregular patches of brown grass, wilted plants, or areas that stay noticeably drier than the rest of the yard. A quick way to check is to run your system and watch for water reaching every part of the lawn evenly. If you see overspray in some areas and weak coverage in others, the layout may need adjustment.
Common signs of poor coverage
- Brown or thinning patches between sprinkler arcs
- Runoff or pooling in one area while another stays dry
- Missed corners near walkways, fence lines, or garden beds
- Uneven growth across the lawn
What to do next
Check nozzle type, head placement, spacing, and pressure to see whether the system is matching your landscape shape. In many cases, a small adjustment can improve coverage without replacing the whole system.
