If this is true why do so many work so hard to keep the sprinkler donuts visible? So the lawn cutter can avoid them maybe? Why would he need to avoid them if they really work so well?
I think we all can agree, sprinkler heads are best protected when kept visible. If one is looking for a product which requires the least amount of maintenance long term to accomplish this, Sprinkler Buddy is up to the challenge.

Need to observe what I said? I said I (not the donut man) who does the checking of donuts. Very rarely does a donut need to be adjusted, but when it does (mostly when I clean out sprinkler heads & the filters) I add sand to area (if it needs it) and replace. Sprinkler heads should be cleaned every so often, to clean filters. My lawn cutter said, he has confidence in riding over concrete donuts because of the support they have for large mowers, without ever harming sprinkler heads. (That's what my lawn cutter said) Been here 7 years, and not once had a problem with protection of sprinkler heads or the visibility. I bet Home Depot must sell at least 5000 donuts a year (average 8-10 donuts per home) for a reason. In the Garden section, they have pallets of donuts, and each time I go there the pile seems to go down quick, and replaced with another pallet full (probably till they stop building homes here)
