Introduction

If you’re anything like me, you know that maintaining a healthy lawn requires nothing less than an all-out assault on the forces of nature.

Is your yard full of dead spots where the grass won’t grow?

This is one of the most common problems that people with hoses run into. If you don’t store your hose properly, it can cause your yard to be full of dead spots where grass won’t grow and infested with weeds, bugs and mold.

If you have an underground sprinkler system, there are many other things that can go wrong as well. The first thing is that when the weather changes from cold to warm or hot and back again, the water inside your sprinkler line may freeze and burst open destroying some or all of your pipes. This can cause water damage inside your house since they’re connected directly together under ground!

Are the sprinklers fixed to a single length of hose, rather than being permanently attached to the house or a watering system?

If the sprinklers are fixed to a single length of hose, rather than being permanently attached to the house or a watering system, you should consider placing it in a storage container. This will prevent people from tripping over it and causing injury.

Are you using a long length of hose that you manually drag across your yard to get to hard-to-reach spaces?

Are you using a long length of hose that you manually drag across your yard to get to hard-to-reach spaces? Are you leaving it on the ground, exposed to the elements and easily tripped over by children or pets? If so, you’re doing it wrong. There are more elegant solutions than this.

Hose should be attached to:

• The house
• A watering system (like an irrigation system)

Could it be that your hose is the problem?

If you are using a long length of hose that you manually drag across your yard to get to hard-to-reach spaces, then this is likely not the reason for your problems. If it was, we would expect some sort of impact on the grass surface where the hose touches it and/or some damage from friction between the two objects. The fact that neither exist suggests that something else is going on here.

Your garden hose can be a danger to the health of your yard!

Your garden hose can be a danger to the health of your yard!

It may seem like a small thing, but when left lying around in the grass, a garden hose is just as hazardous as any other garden tool. The problem is that hoses are flexible, which makes them difficult to store properly. When left on their own and not properly stored, hoses have been known to damage lawns and sprinklers alike by causing water waste or misaligning sprinkler heads. Let’s take a look at some ways you can keep your yard healthy and beautiful with proper storage techniques for your hose:

Conclusion

If you see these kinds of problems in your yard, consider whether or not your garden hose could be involved. The good news is that there are solutions, and they don’t require major investments of time or money. You can easily make the following changes to keep hoses off the lawn:

• Use shorter hoses that reach all parts of your yard without stretching across the grass.
• Install a watering system with fixed sprinklers that don’t need to be dragged around.
• Use heavier hoses with more weight at each end to help prevent kinking when walking over them. It’s also worth pointing out how important it is for us all to take care of our yards and make sure they’re as healthy as possible – so please make sure you follow these tips next time you think about using a garden hose!
