Why Irrigation Maintenance Matters: Keeping Your Landscape Thriving

At Bella Design Landscapes, we specialize in landscape design BUT we believe in watering your plants to thrive not just survive and that's why we wanted to take a moment to share about the importance of regular irrigation maintenance.  Just like your car or phone, irrigation requires regular maintenance and updates.  With time, heads can get clogged, hit by lawnmowers and it's critical you hire a professional company to come out and check your irrigation annually, especially if you have a well!  While this isn't a service we offer, we do want your yard to look amazing and can recommend companies that do offer this service if you need some referrals.
