The recent balmy weather got me outside the other day to finally move some euonymus and plant the Korean Lilac I've had for months. This made my husband very happy since he was pretty sure he'd end up doing this job for me, based on prior history.

I dug up the first shrub and moved it with no trouble. The second one...well, the third time I dug in with the shovel, I heard that sound...that 'clunk' that's too high pitched and hollow-sounding to be a rock. Many bad words went through my head as I cursed my foolishness for not digging first to find EXACTLY where the front porch drip line met the system lateral line.

I know better. Consider this blog your reminder to check things out first, before you dig!

Lucky for me, I had done minimal damage. Still, fixing irrigation pipe is not something I have a favorable inclination toward. Enter the ProGrass irrigation technicians, or as I like to call them, 'Sprinkler Supermen'.

Did you know that ProGrass has a full-service irrigation department? Our sprinkler technicians can upgrade your sprinklers with high-efficiency components to save water and money, and perform your annual backflow test.

They can install an entirely new system for you, install drip lines, fix water feature pumps...they do it all, including repair a sprinkler line which accidentally came into contact with a shovel.

As for the lilac, I planted it after the repair. It looks great and smells even better!
