Frequently Asked Questions


F.A.Q: Home

How do I winterize LawnBelt?

LawnBelt has been tested to survive the harshest weather, so there is no need to drain when winter approaches. Simply disconnect the hidden hose or sprinkler system from the spigot. This will relieve any remaining pressure during winter months. You may want to cap or plug your inlet to keep out any debris.

Is it ok to attach a long garden hose to extend Lawn Belt?

If you need to extend Lawn Belt look at the Hidden Hose Kit (to provide another hookup) or add additional 100 feet of LawnBelt.

If adding LawnBelt to lengthen the zone be sure to order a coupler kit (to join the Lawn Belt together).

Should I install the system before I lay the sod?

You may find it easier to install immediately after sod installation. In some cases you may find you can follow the seam of the sod as well.

Lawn belt installs just below the sod line. The sprinkler head should be flush with the top of sod.

How deep do I dig at the head location (U Fitting)?

For the LawnBelt you are cutting a 2"-4" deep into the sod using a flat spade. The spade is rocked back and forth to create a V-shaped opening in the earth. Then the Belt is pressed down into slit just under your sod line.

At each sprinkler head location you dig a deeper and wider V-shaped opening 9-10" down.

I need to aerate my yard, can I go deeper with Lawn-Belt?

If you want to go deeper you will need to extend the U Fitting using a 1/2 extension available at your hardware store. Connect this at each U/ End Fitting to allow head to reach the top of your sod line.

When installing LawnBelt in large garden areas you will need to have multiple hose bib locations to simplify your sprinkler design.
