Irrigation is a critical component of managing summer stress. Our focus combines lawn performance with functionality of the irrigation system. All new properties are equipped with a Wi-Fi Hunter Hydrawise irrigation controller which greatly reduces over and under watering. Hydrawise automatically adjusts watering based on highly accurate, internet-sourced local weather data. The system looks at the forecast and past history to ensure that just the right amount of irrigation is applied. Lawns by Dr Vaughan receives monitoring alert notifications plus the need to prearrange access to your irrigation controller is unnecessary. This Wi-Fi irrigation controller technology has allowed Lawns by Dr Vaughan to keep costs down and provide irrigation scheduling service that is unmatched by our competitors. In addition to our scheduling service, Lawns by Dr Vaughan’s irrigation maintenance package includes two service visits listed below:
