Geneva sits over sand that drinks fast, and water put down at noon is mostly gone to the sky before it does a lawn any good. Bennett Irrigation runs the early clock instead — zones tested at first light, heads set back to true after a mower has clipped one, timers dialed up for the dry stretch from November into May and eased off when the summer storms take over the watering themselves. Repairs mean walking the line with a shovel until the wet spot gives up its broken fitting. New systems get laid out so the spray lands on turf and not on the driveway. Green grass at the edge of the scrub is a small daily argument won, and this is how it gets won.
