Sprinkler Heads

[Hershey]

How do you avoid the hazard of sprinkler heads when tending to your lawn? I can't tell you how many of ours have been run over by those mowing our lawn. It's a real pain.

Properly installed they should be out of the way except when they pop up to run...
what is getting damaged with yours?

The top part. I think they are being run over by the lawn mowers. We have a lawn service and we've had to point it out to them a few times. They've replaced them on their own, too, but it just seems like it shouldn't happen in the first place.

Sounds to me like you need to get the heads buried deeper than they are. You should now have a problem if they are properly installed. Maybe you could build the area near them up a bit each year. It might be that run off is eroding away the ground around the spray heads. Therefore the lawnmowers clip the heads.

Patience and care are what we utilize. Our sprinkler heads are properly installed but in my experience, they can still be damaged if you run over it the wrong way. We are just super cautious and take our time when mowing or working in the area of the sprinkler heads.

I have the kind in which hoses run under the lawn and then the sprinkler heads pop up on a timer when it's time for watering. It's not as expensive as it sounds to have this kind of system installed.

I use my invention the Sprinkler Buddy. As a lawn care professional I have broken many sprinkler heads with my mower tires because I had no idea where they were in the lawns I picked up. Sprinkler heads even when installed properly often can become damaged by the heavy commercial mowers we use today. Please remain patient with your lawn care professional. We do not run them over on purpose. It is difficult to miss something you can not see even if you know where about they are.
