sprinkler blow out

Sprinkler blowout service

October is typically our Montana month to schedule a sprinkler blow out service for those of us with an automated sprinkler system that is either connected to our house or business structure, or has a standalone well-water pump for irrigation. Our comprehensive service performs a blow out of all water in your system and pump, as well as a health check for your sprinkler system to detect any broken lines, electrical signal problems or broken sprinkler heads or pump elements.Read More →

Fall lawn Prep and lawn repair

Fall lawn preparation involves a list of potential lawn repair tasks and one of them is making any final repairs on those bald patches while there is still nice weather and your sprinkler system or house water is still available before winter sets in. Repairing lawn bald spots in the fall, sets your lawn up for a better start at spring—given you had made your repairs with enough time for the new seed or sod to become established. If your repair work is extensive, our lawn repair services can help as our teams travel the Billings area with several tools and materials to stop byRead More →

Best time to water your lawn

Best time to water your lawn

The best time to water your lawn whether by hose or an automated sprinkler system, is early in the morning. Wind is usually less early in the morning, but still cool out to help make it the best time. The evening is not the best time to water, as the nighttime has a longer duration of no light and can increase fungal development and an unhealthy lawn. Contact The Grass Patch to learn more about the best time to water and setting up your sprinkler system: Call 406-855-7501Read More →

Mower Blade Height

Lawn mower blade height

Lawn mower blade height is an adjustment to your mower that needs to be done as the season changes. You should have lowered the blade height during the last cut in the fall, and then remember to adjust the lawn mower blade height back to a normal position when the spring comes. The height of your lawn mower in summer can be raised an inch to help reduce heat stress to your lawn, and when cooler temperatures come,  return the mower deck to its normal mowing height (about 2 inches tall is best for most grasses). Adjusting down the mower blade height and cutting yourRead More →

Fall lawn care

Hello September … and hello fall lawn care for Billings! Are leaves covering your yard? Yes? Time for some fall lawn care. If the layer of leaves are left unattended, it can suffocate your lawn and prevent photosynthesis—an important growth factor for lawns even though winter is approaching. Leaf removal during fall lawn care is key to a lawn’s ability to grab all of those last nice month’s rain and sunshine, in preparation for the more dormant winter months. Lawns are hungry during the fall, just like a Grizzly bear is, in preparation for a long winter sleep. Our fast and affordable leaf removal serviceRead More →

sprinkler blowout service in billings

Sprinkler blowout service

You have a new sprinkler system but now you need a sprinkler blowout for your system. Winterizing your sprinkler system is an important task for the end of autumn in our part of the winter world. While you can try to do it yourself, most sprinkler systems in Billings require a sprinkler blowout with extra air pressure and air pump horsepower to completely flush the sprinkler system of any residual water that can freeze during winter and cause serious damage to the water lines and sprinkler heads, including a cracked water pump. Contact The Grass Patch to learn more about sprinkler blowout service for yourRead More →

lawn aeration service

Lawn Aeration service to do or not to do?

Lawn aeration service providers understand that aeration can provide a big boost in a healthy lawn’s look and growing ability. Lawns in poor shape can always benefit from being aerated, as aeration provides access for water, fertilizer, oxygen and even sunlight to get directly to the grass layer’s lower sections, past the thatch layer and into the root system. Lawn aeration service is typically done during the autumn months, but may need to be performed at other times during the warm season. You can rent a machine for lawn aeration, but it’s not a cheap rental and is a large and dangerous  piece of equipmentRead More →

Sprinkler system repair in billings

New construction: sprinkler system repair

If you have a fence builder contractor or other new construction  going on in your yard, that has an existing sprinkler system, make sure you let your sprinkler system manager know that you have new construction commencing that might possibly compromise the water pump, tubing, sprinkler heads or other water connectors. He or she can mark the ground to indicate where the system components are to avoid sprinkler system repair. Professional sprinkler system designers like The Grass Patch keep a detailed map of the pump, valve boxes, main lines and sprinkler heads so that any new landscaping or construction such as a new fence orRead More →

Water efficient sprinkler heads

Noticing dry or lightly-watered areas of your yard can mean several things, but typically in the spring, when you start using your sprinkler system, you may notice some issues. In some case maybe a sprinkler head needs repair, or the current heat is requiring a sprinkler system adjustment. Do you have effective sprinklers in your yard? Are they getting every inch of your lawn? Or do you have busted sprinkler heads? While sprinkler systems save time and money, they occasionally require maintenance to keep performing optimally. Even if your sprinkler system seems to be functioning okay, the engineering in today’s water efficient sprinkler heads andRead More →
