Inspect narrow strips, curved edges and exposed corners before changing sprinkler run times or adding equipment.

Map the problem areas and zone boundaries

Identify dry corners, wet pavement, narrow turf strips and changes in exposure. Watch each zone operate and record where spray lands. Corner lots can combine awkward shapes and different sun or wind conditions, but the address alone does not explain the fault. Keep observations tied to specific heads and zones.

Check hardware and coverage before scheduling

Look for damaged, tilted or blocked heads and incompatible nozzle patterns. Compare the intended coverage with the actual planted area. Extending the run time for an entire zone may overwater healthy turf while leaving a distribution gap unresolved. Ask for measurements and equipment compatibility checks where the cause is uncertain.

Consider design changes where adjustments are insufficient

A narrow or irregular strip may need a different layout, appropriate components or a change in planting. Confirm available flow and pressure before adding heads. Keep water off streets and walking routes, and consider sightlines and any applicable right-of-way requirements before changing the landscape.

Retest after repairs and keep a record

Observe all affected zones, check soil moisture and revisit the dry or wet spots. Save changed settings and a simple equipment map. Include access, repair, testing and restoration in the quote. Do not assume a fixed savings percentage or a standard sprinkler spacing fits every corner-lot configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can longer watering fix a dry corner?

Only when the issue is an appropriate scheduling adjustment. Broken equipment or a coverage gap needs its own correction.

Should I add another sprinkler head?

First assess hydraulics and coverage. Adding a head without checking system capacity can create new performance problems.
