Local conditions
Lawn Care on the Rathdrum Prairie
Post Falls sits on the Rathdrum Prairie between Coeur d'Alene and the Washington line, with the Spokane River along its southern edge.
Much of Post Falls is built on Rathdrum Prairie gravel, and gravel drains fast. Water runs through it instead of staying in the root zone, so Post Falls lawns dry out quickly in July and August and a sprinkler problem soon shows up as a brown patch.
The prairie is a broad plain of gravel, cobbles and boulders left by the Ice Age floods from Glacial Lake Missoula, the same gravel that holds the Spokane Valley–Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer. On ground like this, even sprinkler coverage matters. A sprinkler check finds the tilted heads, clogged nozzles and short-running zones behind a lot of brown patches, and weekly mowing at the right height, usually 2 to 3 inches, keeps the soil shaded so it holds moisture a little longer.
Post Falls has also grown fast, and many homes here are newer. If you moved into one and nobody showed you how the sprinkler timer works, we can identify the zones, program the timer and adjust the heads for even coverage. New yards are often compacted by construction equipment, too, and core aeration opens that soil back up so water and roots can get down into it.
We also serve Coeur d'Alene and Hayden, and Liberty Lake just across the line in Washington.

Questions
Post Falls Lawn & Sprinkler Questions

We're based in Spokane, just across the state line. Estimates are free: call (509) 818-1831 or request a quote.
Why does my lawn in Post Falls dry out so fast?
Because much of Post Falls sits on Rathdrum Prairie gravel, which drains quickly and doesn't hold water in the root zone for long. That makes even sprinkler coverage important: one clogged head or a zone that runs too short shows up fast as a brown patch. A sprinkler check finds those problems, and mowing at the right height, usually 2 to 3 inches, helps the grass shade the soil.
Can you program my sprinkler timer and find my zones?
Yes. We identify the zones, program the timer (Wi-Fi controllers too), adjust the heads for even coverage and fix clogged or leaking heads. If you just moved into a newer Post Falls home and the system came with no instructions, that's the place to start. See sprinkler repair.
Should I aerate a new-construction lawn?
Usually, once the lawn is established. Heavy equipment packs soil down during construction, and core aeration pulls plugs of soil to open it back up so water, air and nutrients reach the roots. Early spring and fall are the best times. Skip it on brand-new sod until the sod has rooted in.
