How To Get a Green Lawn (Howcast Video)

Howcast is a great how-to video site that I find tons of helpful videos about a variety of different topics. I thought this video had some really good tips for growing a green lawn.

You don't realize how important sharp lawnmower blades are for a healthy lawn. Having a soil test done and watering your lawn early in the morning were also good tips in the video.

Have a watch and let me know what you think.

Testimonial From Sprinkler Daddy's First Ever Customer

Mike Morrison was our first ever customer at Sprinkler Daddy and he was kind enough to send us this testimonial about his experience with us last season:

My Personal Experience with Sprinkler Daddy.......

I wanted to install a sprinkler system in my yard but needed help with the design, and installation instructions. I found Sprinkler Daddy online, and they helped greatly in both of these areas. They got the design for my yard done in a timely manner, and I was presented with a very reasonable quote. Within the quote there were options to upgrade the parts at an extra cost, or cut costs in a variety of ways. The quote was very reasonable compared to other websites I had seen. All materials were sent to my house within a week of an agreement, and I was able to start the installation immediately. Sprinkler Daddy has a number of Youtube videos on the web which served as an excellent guide to installing the various components of the system. Throughout the entire process, I had excellent communication with Sean Stefan from Sprinkler Daddy. Whenever I had any questions or concerns, Sean made time to help me out. I was very impressed with Sprinkler Daddy, and would recommend them to anyone who wishes to install their own sprinkler system.

Thanks a bunch Mike!

Winterizing Sprinkler Lines - Troubleshooting With Ice In The Lines

Ice in your sprinkler lines? If you're having troubles blowing out your sprinkler lines or winterizing your sprinkler lines, you may have ice in your sprinkler lines if the air doesn't seem to be moving.

Try running the water through your sprinkler zones to loosen the ice. You may need to warm up the copper pipe with a torch if cold water doesn't work.
