Reviewing your irrigation system

With spring’s arrival comes the time for our experts to open your irrigation system for the season and to conduct a comprehensive review. We will assess the lines and sprinkler heads for any damage sustained over the winter months and make the necessary repairs to ensure your property receives the essential water it requires to remain healthy and green throughout this new growing season. This is also an opportune time for Gerbert & Sons to upgrade your system with a Hydrawise Smart Controller that uses state-of-the-art technologies for the most efficient and effective watering of your landscape. With WIFI monitoring, these controllers adjust watering based on your local weather data so only the necessary amount of irrigation is applied, saving resources and money. They can also detect underground drips or leaks in pipes before they become a problem and waste valuable water. Schedule your appointment now to open your system for spring and learn more about these innovative products.

Getting the jump on ticks

This winter’s atypical warm weather and rain has created the perfect environment for our local tick population to thrive. With more animals in the area, especially deer, ticks have an increased source of hosts to carry them onto your property and potentially to your family. We at Gerbert & Sons have created a comprehensive 4-step tick prevention program that addresses this problem safely and organically, starting with the first application in April. And as detailed in last month’s blog addressing COVID-19, we have many precautions and protocols in place to ensure the safety of your family, as well as our team, as we continue to serve your landscaping needs this spring.
