Watering Systems That Cover Every Zone

Cape Fear Commercial Lawn Service Inc installs and services irrigation systems for residential and commercial properties in Fayetteville, North Carolina.

Hot summers in Fayetteville dry out lawns faster than most people can keep up with using a hose or sprinkler. You end up with brown patches in full sun areas, wilting shrubs near the driveway, and uneven turf where some spots stay green while others turn straw-colored. Without consistent watering that reaches root zones at the right depth, plants stress out, growth slows, and you spend more time dragging hoses around than enjoying your yard.

Cape Fear Commercial Lawn Service Inc installs and services irrigation systems that deliver water where it is needed, when it is needed. Systems are designed to support healthy lawns, shrubs, and landscaped areas by providing targeted coverage that reduces waste and keeps plants hydrated during dry periods. This includes residential yards with mixed planting beds and turf, as well as commercial properties where consistent appearance matters. Each system is set up to work with your existing layout and adjusted to match plant water requirements across different zones.

Schedule irrigation service or installation in Fayetteville and see how automated watering keeps your landscape healthy without constant manual effort.

Delivering Water Where Roots Actually Grow

Installation starts with mapping your property to identify turf areas, planting beds, and spots where water pressure or coverage may be limited. In Fayetteville, systems typically use a combination of spray heads for turf and drip lines for shrub beds, with each zone controlled by a valve that opens on a timed schedule. Trenches are dug for supply lines, heads are positioned to avoid overspray onto hardscapes, and the controller is programmed based on plant type and sun exposure.

Once the system is running, your lawn stays green through summer heat without dry patches forming in high-traffic or sunny areas. Shrubs and groundcovers receive water at the root zone instead of on foliage, which reduces disease risk and keeps moisture where it supports growth. You will also notice lower water bills compared to running a hose or above-ground sprinkler, because the system applies water slowly and precisely rather than flooding the surface.

Service appointments include checking for clogged heads, adjusting spray patterns, and testing zone coverage to make sure every area gets adequate water. Seasonal adjustments account for rainfall and temperature changes, so the system runs less in spring and more during peak summer heat. This work does not include landscaping changes, grading corrections, or repairs to water supply lines beyond the irrigation tie-in point.

How much water does an irrigation system use?
A properly designed system uses less water than manual watering because it applies moisture slowly and targets root zones. Most turf zones run 20 to 30 minutes per session, while drip lines for shrubs use even less by delivering water directly to the soil.

What happens if a sprinkler head breaks?
Broken heads are replaced during service visits or as soon as you notice uneven coverage. Heads can crack from lawn equipment, freeze damage, or settling soil, and replacing them restores uniform watering across the zone.

How often should the system run during summer?
Most lawns in Fayetteville need watering three times per week during hot, dry stretches. The schedule is adjusted based on rainfall, soil type, and plant needs, with early morning run times to reduce evaporation loss.

Why do some zones water longer than others?
Zones are programmed based on plant type and sun exposure. Turf in full sun needs more water than shade-tolerant groundcovers, and drip zones for shrubs run longer because they apply water more slowly to soak deeper into the root zone.

What is involved in winterizing an irrigation system?
In Fayetteville, winterization means blowing out supply lines with compressed air to remove water that could freeze and crack pipes. This is done before the first hard freeze and protects the system until it is reactivated in spring.
