Raising Sprinklers

Over time the sprinklers settle into the soil this process is expedited machinery and cart traffic.

Leveling the sprinklers is a huge undertaking that never ends. Once the 3,300 sprinklers are raised the process will start again. It is a full time job in itself, it takes 40 minuets to level one sprinkler head. So 2,200 hours to complete; Their are three crew members working every day to complete the process when their is not more pressing tasks.
Some problems low sprinkler heads create:
  • Effects the sprinklers diameter (Causing dead or dry grass)
  • Localized wet areas (Water is obstructed by grass causing wet areas around sprinkler)
