Measure what your sprinklers really deliver.
A catch-cup audit that measures how much water each zone applies and how evenly, followed by a corrected schedule and fixes.
- Method: Catch cups per zone
- Measures: Application rate and uniformity
- Output: Corrected schedule and fix list
What it is, and why it matters.
An audit puts catch cups across the lawn, runs the zone and measures how much water each cup collects. The result shows the precipitation rate and the uniformity: whether some areas get twice the water of others. Unevenness forces you to overwater most of the lawn to keep the driest part alive.
From the numbers, we set run times based on what the zone really delivers, fix the heads and pressure that cause unevenness and update the controller schedule. In Nashville, where many systems were installed with mismatched heads, an audit often pays for itself in the first season's water savings.

Irrigation Audits & Coverage Checks: common questions
What is a sprinkler audit?
A test that measures how much water each zone applies and how evenly using catch cups. It gives you real run times and a list of improvements.
Will an audit save water?
Often, because it removes guesswork. Many systems run longer than needed to compensate for a few weak spots that can be fixed.
