Answer: No Explanation: Sprinkler heads should be installed level with the base of the turf to avoid lawn mower damage. Equally as important is installing all sprinkler heads far enough away from adjacent concrete walks, driveways, and curbs to prevent damage from edgers.
Older sprinkler systems can develop shifting heads due to tree roots and freeze - thaw cycles in colder climates. If the system is properly maintained and serviced these issues can be easily resolved before any damage from lawn maintenance occurs. |
