Blocking Irrigation from portion of yard
Comments (1)Most sprinkler heads have various nozzles that can be switched out to spray a lesser distance. Some can be adjusted for a shorter distance on the heads themselves. Some companies offer sprinkler caps, where you can cap them off altogether. If you don't want water out of any of the heads in one area, you can also just remove them from the program on your sprinkler timer....See MoreEucalyptus sudden death upper portion
Comments (1)You wrote: "...possibly worm paths eaten into this inner trunk surface" Those are most likely the trails of a boring beetle. typically, they attack stressed trees, then are the final blow that kills them. One is the eucalyptus long-horned borer. You might have a certified arborist out to take a look. But the outlook, based upon your description, sounds nil to none. The new growth at the bottom indicates that the base is alive. At least for now....See MoreA finished portion

Comments (22)I do see a slight rolling hill in the soil, with the top of it being on the line between your camera and the righthand edge of the shed. That could cause some waterlogging if the rainfall drains off there and the surrounding bits are a low point. I can't tell if it would get swampy, but it's probably a drainage point. As such, it should be mid-range challenging in terms of grass. I have a swale on the side of my property that gets rather moist in spring and fall, and dries out in summer. Due to the shorter roots on the grasses there, they shock more easily than the rest of the lawn. The designated ornamental tree spot has been a constant battle due to the moisture, and I finally just dropped in an old-fashioned lilac. I wouldn't hold my breath on getting the understory of that tree perfect, so I might be inclined to kill off the grass there and mulch the area around the tree. That doesn't look like thatch, it looks like dead grass. Whether the water killed it, or the soil chemistry is off, or there was a disease, I can't tell offhand. I think I'd consider a Logan Labs soil test here just to be sure....See MoreRelated Professionals
