Why Dry Spots Happen
Why Does My Lawn Have Dry Spots?
The #1 Sprinkler Problem in Davis County, Utah
If you’ve noticed brown or dry patches in your lawn while the rest of your grass looks healthy, you’re not alone. This is the most common sprinkler repair issue we see in Davis County, especially during the hot summer months.
From Layton and Kaysville to Farmington, Centerville, Bountiful, and Syracuse, homeowners often assume they need to water more. In reality, the problem is usually that the water isn’t reaching every part of the lawn evenly.
Why Dry Spots Happen
According to Utah State University Extension, Davis County receives only about 24 inches of precipitation each year, making irrigation essential for maintaining healthy landscapes. When a sprinkler system isn’t applying water evenly, some areas receive too much water while others don’t receive enough.
Some of the most common causes include:
- Broken sprinkler heads
- Sprinklers that are tilted or have sunk into the ground
- Nozzles clogged with dirt or debris
- Grass or shrubs blocking the spray pattern
- Sprinkler heads that no longer rotate properly
- Low or inconsistent water pressure
- Mixing different brands or types of sprinkler heads within the same zone, causing uneven coverage

A Simple Test You Can DoUSU Extension recommends performing a simple sprinkler performance test.Place several identical containers, such as tuna cans, soup cans, or catch cups, around one sprinkler zone. Run that zone for a set amount of time and compare how much water ends up in each container.If some cans have much more water than others, your sprinkler system isn’t distributing water evenly. That’s often the reason for those frustrating dry spots.
