Adding new trees can enhance the look and value of a property, but it can also change how an irrigation system should operate. When sprinkler heads are not adjusted after landscaping updates, water may hit plants too directly or miss surrounding areas entirely.
Recently, our team at American Lawn Sprinkler completed a sprinkler system adjustment for a homeowner in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan after new pine trees were planted.
Irrigation Adjustment for New Landscaping in Bloomfield Hills, MI
This project was completed at a residential property in Bloomfield Hills, MI. After installation of the new trees, the homeowner noticed that one sprinkler head was hitting the pines too aggressively, which could potentially damage the trees over time.
To correct the issue, our technicians removed the existing sprinkler and installed three strategically placed sprinkler heads between the trees. This allowed for more controlled and even water distribution, ensuring the grass received proper coverage while protecting the newly planted pines.
Why Sprinkler Adjustments Are Important After Planting Trees
New landscaping often requires changes to an existing irrigation system. Without proper adjustments, sprinkler heads may spray too directly on plants, leading to damage or inefficient watering.
Benefits of professional sprinkler adjustments include:
-
Protection for new trees and plants
Water is distributed more gently and appropriately. -
Improved watering coverage
Multiple heads provide more even distribution across the area. -
Better irrigation efficiency
Proper placement reduces wasted water. -
Healthier landscape overall
Balanced watering supports both turf and plant growth.
Regular sprinkler system inspections help ensure your irrigation system continues to perform properly as your landscape evolves. Small adjustments like these can make a big difference in maintaining a healthy and well-balanced yard.
