August is the month a Michigan lawn tells the truth about its water. Lopez Landscape and Irrigation reads that closely — mowing, trimming and lawn care alongside irrigation work, zones balanced and heads aimed so the whole yard drinks evenly instead of half of it going brown by the drive. Troy's soil holds moisture in some spots and sheds it in others, sometimes within the same lot, and a sprinkler system that ignores this produces a striped, unhappy lawn. Getting it right means an even sheet of green straight through the hottest stretch of the year, with no dry corner by the mailbox. Then October arrives, the system is put to bed, and the ground is allowed to rest.
