A healthy, green lawn speaks volumes about your property. But even the best-kept grounds can develop dry patches, leaving an uneven look. For property managers, these spots can be frustrating and costly.
With the right strategies, they’re easy to fix. If you’re responsible for West Palm Beach irrigation maintenance, knowing what causes these problem areas can save time and improve curb appeal.

Commercial lawns face more challenges than residential yards. Traffic, weather, and large irrigation systems all play a role.
Sprinkler heads can shift, clog, or wear down, leaving areas without enough water. Commercial properties often have large, multi-zone systems, so one weak head can create visible brown spots. Regular inspections and adjustments keep coverage consistent.
Pipes, valves, and timers age over time. A cracked line or sticking valve may limit flow to certain zones. Timely replacement of worn parts helps maintain even watering.
Foot traffic and heavy equipment compress soil, making it harder for water to penetrate. Some commercial properties also face grading challenges, causing runoff in some areas and drought in others. Aeration and proper grading restore balance.
South Florida’s mix of heat and heavy rains can stress lawns. High sun exposure, salty air, or unexpected dry spells all contribute to uneven growth. Tailoring irrigation schedules and choosing resilient turf can help.
