Homework SourseDraw and sketch a custom system for irrigating a level grass
Draw and sketch a custom system for irrigating a level grass yard of no less than ¼ acre around 1,500 square foot foundation for a house and determine the total zone coverage of your system. Assume the water pressure from the water line is 70 psi, with 1 inch PVC lines. Create the maximum coverage of the yard area. Calculate the velocity of the water at each sprinkler head, with water lines buried at least one foot underground.
Solution
1.Mow the lawn at a two inch height first
2. collect all the clippings.
3. rent a lawn de-thatcher making sure you de-thatch the lawn
at 90 degree angles and then collect the thatch-you are not done
until you have removed all the thatch.
4. rent a lawn aerator and aerate the lawn at 90 degree angles
a. spread gypsum on the cleaned lawn surface to dissolve the clay
5. plant more GOOD grass seed if desired
6. Be sure to weed whack the edges on all the side walks on both
sides as the grass will have a heavy mat of grass growing over
the sides of the sidewalks.
7. decide if you want to rent a lawn edger to clean the grass
away from the sidewalks edges.
It will cost you much less to do it this way than excavate the old sod
and install new sod as you will still have the same problems if you do not do the above.
Short of that you can contract with a house jacker and pump sand under the sidewalk to
raise it above the sod. BUT if the sidewalks were done poorly...........................................
More than anything you drainage pipe and hopefully you have a grade to drain the water away AFTER
you do the work.
I would sacrifice some sod, rent a ditch witch and have a contractor install drainage piping.
BUT if your lawn is in poor condition I would dethatch, aerate it, spread gypsum, plant good seed
and then finish it with a light roller.1.Mow the lawn at a two inch height first
