I had my orientation on the sprinkler system just a week or so ago. Our home is in Well Point. The builder lays Saint Augustine sod exclusively. I saw somewhere that we should mow Saint Augustine at around 4”. The rotators installed are 4” housings, which, I assume, pop up a distance of less than 4”. This means that the grass blades will obstruct the water streams resulting in less coverage. Hunter does produce a 6” rotator, but installing these was not an option.
