About Groves Family Gardening & Irrigation

June mornings come early on the lake — the water still and pewter-colored before the boats are out, sprinklers ticking across the lawns of the coves. Groves Family Gardening & Irrigation works those hours, tuning drip lines and valves so foothill gardens can hold their green through the long rainless stretch from May to October. Beds get weeded, hedges shaped, lawns cut so the stripes follow the slope down toward the shore. Irrigation here is less a luxury than a kind of promise: water where it is needed, none where it is not. The rounds run through Lake of the Pines and the nearby foothill towns, Alta Sierra to Grass Valley, one well-watered yard at a time.
