Irrigation Check-Up: Cooling Off Hot Spots Before August Heat Hits
As we head into the hottest part of summer here in Shreveport, many lawns start showing signs of stress—especially in dry or patchy areas known as “hot spots.” These areas can quickly turn brown and brittle, even if you’re watering regularly. If that sounds familiar, now’s the time for a full irrigation system check-up.
What Are Lawn Hot Spots?
Hot spots are those areas in your yard that dry out faster than the rest. They’re often caused by:
- Clogged, tilted, or broken sprinkler heads
- Low water pressure in specific zones
- Blocked spray patterns from overgrown plants or shifting soil
- Outdated controllers that don’t adjust for summer heat
Why Now Is the Right Time
Late July and early August bring extreme heat to Shreveport, and any weakness in your irrigation system becomes more obvious—and more damaging. A mid-summer inspection ensures your lawn stays green through the peak heat and helps you avoid expensive repairs later.
