Three Methods To Winterize Your Irrigation System

Irrigation specialist performing an irrigation service in Sioux Falls, SD.

Three Methods To Winterize Your Irrigation System

Save your irrigation system and your pocketbook for the spring.

If you have a lawn irrigation system, you need to winterize it before temperatures plunge to the freezing point.

If you do not winterize your irrigation system, you will likely need to repair or replace your irrigation system in the future.

What Is the Risk of Not Winterizing?

Unlike your house, irrigation pipes live below the soil and take on the soil temperature. When Midwest temperatures decide to plunge, the ground also begins to freeze, freezing your irrigation pipes along with it.

As water begins to freeze, it also expands. This expansion can cause your pipes and fittings to burst, ultimately ruining your investment and making it no longer functional.

Winterization Methods

There are three different methods for draining water from your sprinkler or irrigation system:

manual drain
automatic drain
blow-out

The method you use depends on the type of irrigation you have in place.

If you are inexperienced in winterizing your irrigation system yourself, the professionals at Weller Brothers are here to help. Keep in mind that you will not be the only one requesting these services, so plan ahead.

Manual drain method

Some irrigation systems are equipped with manual drainage. These systems allow you to empty excess water from the system by opening a valve.

If you have manual drain irrigation, follow these steps:

Turn off the water supply to the system.
Look for the manual valves at the ends and low points of the piping.
Open all the valves and drain the water from the system.
Drain the backflow device.

Some irrigation systems are equipped with check valves. These devices allow water to only flow one way. If you have check valves on your system, try raising the sprinkler heads. This allows water to drain out of the sprinkler heads. Once the entire system has been drained, close all the valves.

Automatic Drain Method

An auto drain system has valves that automatically drain water from the pipes. This happens only when the water pressure falls below a certain number of pounds per square inch.

To activate an automatic drain function, follow these steps:

Turn off the water supply to the system.
Briefly run one of the sprinkler heads to drop the water pressure.
Automatic draining will begin, clearing the pipes of excess water.

You may still need to drain the water between the shut-off and backflow device. If the sprinkler heads are equipped with check valves, empty them separately.

Blow-Out Method

The final way of draining an irrigation system is the blow-out method. This is the method that Weller Brothers irrigation specialists use to ensure that your system is shut down properly without risk of damage.

To drain the pipes, you force compressed air through the irrigation system. This discharges excess water through the sprinkler heads. This method can be potentially hazardous and damaging if you do not have a system that can handle the pressure. If you have never blown out an irrigation system before, please consult a professional. This will save you from frustration, possible injury, and repair costs.

Overseeding: What Is It and Why Should You Do It?

Weller Brothers lawn care professional overseeding a lawn in Sioux Falls, SD

Overseeding: What Is It and Why Should You Do It?

Are bare spots and thinning grass blades taking over your lawn?

Do you fertilize your lawn and seed the soil every spring, but your turf just won’t grow as lush and green as your neighbor’s?

Weller Brothers Landscape Professionals is here to help you understand why overseeding may have failed in the past and how it can help save your lawn this year!

What is Overseeding?

Overseeding is an easy method of planting grass seed that avoids disturbing the soil in your yard.

This method differs from new lawn seeding because overseeding is exactly like it sounds – planting new seed over an existing lawn.

When to Overseed Your Lawn

You should overseed in the fall, typically between late August and early October before the first freeze.

In the Midwest, we recommend that lawns be seeded with cool-season grass that is best acclimated to our temperate climates. The most common grasses used in our area are Kentucky bluegrass and tall fescue, which are designed to thrive in cooler temperatures.

When planted outside the appropriate season, these grasses will struggle to germinate and grow in the summer heat. This will result in having to re-overseed again in the fall. If you’ve struggled with overseeding before, perhaps this timing was the problem.

Fall is also the time of year when you should aerate your lawn. At Weller Brothers, we always recommend that overseeding be performed alongside aeration in the fall.

Important Factors to Consider When Assessing Your Lawn

If you notice any of the following conditions in your lawn, it is important to consult with a lawn care professional. They will determine if overseeding should take place sooner rather than later.

Thin Grass
Bare Patches
Invasive Weeds
Brittle Grass Blades
Undesirable Grass Types
Spreading Fungal Infections
Pest Damage
Poor Drainage

Lawn in Sioux Falls, SD that has not been properly maintained.

Can You Overseed in the Spring?

You shouldn’t. Here’s why.

Cool-season seeds need cooler temperatures to germinate; warm-season seeds perform best when planted in the warmer weather of late spring or early summer. However, we do not recommend using warm-season grass seeds in the Midwest climate zone, which is why Weller Brothers Landscaping overseeds in the fall.

Springtime is when we begin our fertilizer program, beginning with the pre-emergent. Pre-emergent is an herbicide that produces a protective barrier across the soil surface to prevent weeds from emerging. Pre-emergent is non-selective, which means it will prevent the growth of any non-established vegetation – not just undesirable weeds and grasses.

Spring pre-emergent application is crucial to the health of your lawn, as it is the best method of fighting off weeds before they disrupt new grass growth. Even if pre-emergent is not applied, cool-season grass seeded in spring will develop shallow roots because the conditions are not ideal for growing. This is why we do not recommend overseeding in the spring.

Lawn Aeration: What, Why, and When

Lawn Aeration: What, Why, and When

Fall is almost here, but that does not mean lawn care should stop! As you create your pre-snow checklist, make sure to add fall lawn aeration to the very top.

Your lawn is a significant investment, and you may be wondering why you should add another service expense when it is about to snow.

Prepping your lawn in the fall ensures that when springtime rolls around you will earn the status of “best lawn on the block” and brag about it at the spring BBQ.

The professionals at Weller Brothers are ready to help you make winter prep a breeze. Learn more about lawn aeration and why it benefits your yard.

What is Lawn Aeration?

Aeration is a process that involves perforating the soil with small holes to allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deep into the root zone.

The primary benefit of fall lawn aeration is to improve nutrient absorption into your lawn. Over time due to foot traffic, mowing, or fertilizing machinery, your lawn will become compacted. Fall aeration alleviates soil compaction and breaks down thatch build-up, promoting root growth and overall lawn health.

How Is Lawn Aeration Performed?

When you schedule lawn aeration with Weller Brothers, our team brings a core aerator to your property. This machine has hollow tines that puncture the soil about 2-3 inches deep, removing “plugs” from the lawn every 3 inches.

Then, your soil is left with holes that allow air, water, and nutrients to reach the turf root system more effectively. After the plugs are removed from the soil they can be broken up to decompose, adding nutrients back into your soil. This process promotes healthy grass growth and prepares your lawn for the cold season ahead.

How Does Lawn Aeration Prevent Disease?

Midwest seasons can be unpredictable, meaning that record rainfalls in the spring are possible and will lead to lawn disease if air cannot circulate throughout your lawn. Aeration not only keeps your lawn looking healthy, but it also reduces the risk of disease outbreaks on your lawn.

Lawn disease is never anything that can be predicted, but it can be prevented! It can be caused by a variety of different factors including heavy rainfall, thatch build-up, and lack of nutrients. Red Thread and Blight disease can be easily prevented by several cultural practices.

Promoting good cultural practices such as regular mowing, trimming edges, aeration, and dethatching will minimize the chances of your lawn catching a “summertime sickness”.

When to Aerate Your Lawn

The recommended and best time to aerate your lawn is in the fall when the grass growth is starting to slow in preparation for the winter. Aeration in the fall will help give your lawn a head start on the growing season.

Fall lawn aeration allows for lawn care programs, including fertilizer and weed control, to be able to work more effectively and efficiently. Weller Brothers commonly utilizes a 5-step fertilizer and weed control program. The first step is key to a green and lush lawn, as it includes pre-emergent for crabgrass and granular fertilizer.

As winter approaches, don’t miss out on the benefits of lawn aeration:

Improved drainage in areas prone to standing water
More efficient nutrient absorption by the root system
Reduced thatch later, which impedes water and nutrient absorption
Prevents fungal disease that thrives in moist, compacted conditions

The lawn care professionals at Weller Brothers in Sioux Falls, SD, Des Moines, IA, and Rochester, MN, have the experience and equipment to properly aerate your lawn this fall.

Five Things To Consider When Adding Seasonal Color To Your Home

Large, gray flower pots on front porch of home

Five Things To Consider When Adding Seasonal Color To Your Home

Let’s face it — changing out your planters to match each season is the last thing on your to-do list.

At Weller Brothers Landscaping, our horticulture team creates elegant and upscale outdoor decor to ensure you enjoy year-round color at your front door.

Below are five things to consider when working with your Weller Brothers account manager in Sioux Falls, SD, and Rochester, MN to create your custom-designed planters.

Five Things to Consider When Creating Seasonal Planters

Whether it’s the glimmer of Christmas lights, the eye-catching colors of fall mums, or the enjoyment of blossoming flowers in the spring and summer, we can create something for you!

1. What seasons would you like planters for?

The possibilities are endless; the best thing about planters is that they are low commitment. Whether you want planters on rotation for each holiday or each season, we will provide the highest quality.

At Weller Brothers, we specialize in:

Spring and summer annuals
Fall mums, annuals, and ornamental grasses
Winter greens

2. Do you already have your own pots?

If you already have invested in pots that you love, there is no need to scrap them! During a consultation visit, our horticulture professionals will assess the size, color, and style of your pots to evaluate how we can best use them.

If you do not already have pots, we keep limited stock on hand or can source high-quality pots for you. It is as easy as sharing your likes and dislikes; your account manager will then find options for you to select your pots from.

3. Do you have a specific color palette and style in mind?

To create seasonal planters you love, we want to know everything (but nothing too personal) — just the basics such as color preference, style aesthetic, favorite flowers, and even least favorite flowers.

If you haven’t already, check out our gallery of seasonal planters and lights for inspiration to share with your account manager.

4. Do you need to utilize our storage facilities?

Often there are non-plant materials that are included in our pots such as filler, silk flowers, lights, and accent items. If you do not wish to disassemble your planter or store these items, you can use Weller Brothers material storage for a small monthly fee at our Sioux Falls location only.

This offers you the convenience of not having to lug items to the basement or worry about items being damaged in storage.

5. What is your budget?

We know that budget is always an important aspect. When considering your budget, several factors come into play.

The main factor that you will need to consider is pot size. The larger the pot, the more materials and time that are needed to curate a planter. Secondly, do you want your pots changed out seasonally? We have options from one standard pot installation at the time of your choosing, or seasonal changes for spring, summer, fall, and winter.

Contact Us To Add Seasonal Color To Your Front Door Today

This holiday season, let us take the stress out of decorating your Midwest home.

Our experienced horticulture team will ensure your home stands out in your neighborhood. Contact us here to request seasonal decor services. This is the best part about changing seasons in the Midwest!

Landscape Enhancement: From Dead Grass to Bright Corner Bed

a green lawn with a mulch landscape bed and plants

Landscape Enhancement: From Dead Grass to Bright Corner Bed

Enhancement by

Dallas Moore

After a large corner lot tree was taken out by the May 2022 derecho in South Dakota, the homeowners struggled to grow grass in the area.

This was due to the accumulation of pine needles over the years. Pine needles create a challenging environment for grass growth due to a couple of key factors:

Soil acidity: When pine needles decompose, they create acidic soil conditions, but grass thrives in neutral or slightly alkaline soil.
Nutrient depletion: Pine needles deplete the soil of some nutrients as they decompose while releasing other nutrients. This creates an imbalance that hinders grass growth.

The homeowner missed his tree and was tired of the unsightly brown area on the corner of the property.

As an eye-catching solution, Dallas designed a simple mulch landscape bed that integrated pollinator plants the homeowner selected. These included hydrangeas, Pugster Amethyst butterfly bushes, powwow white coneflower, and lobelia.

We surrounded the bed with steel edging that will provide years of longevity over poly-edging.

Our client was thrilled to be part of the plant selection process and says many neighbors have commented on the new focal point of his yard.
