When Fresno gets hot, it is tempting to solve every brown spot by running the sprinklers longer. Sometimes the real problem is that the water is not reaching the dry area evenly.

1. Watch the Zone Run

Look for heads that do not pop up, clogged nozzles, tilted heads, overspray, or one weak part of the zone.

2. Compare Head Types

Mismatched sprinklers can apply water at very different rates. That can leave one section dry while another becomes saturated.

3. Check Pressure

Low pressure can reduce spray distance. A leak, valve problem, or excessive demand on the zone can contribute.

4. Check the Schedule

Make sure the controller follows Fresno’s current watering rules and that programmed start times are actually running.
