Hi All, we recently had landscaping completed with irrigation. Can you tell me if this is normal? I'm worried the placement of water outlets aren't really where they should be, it seems like a lot of water is soaking into the DG instead of the plants. It's also leaving rings in the DG when it dries. It's only in some places. I asked the guy about moving the water outlets and he kept suggesting that the water just be turned down instead of irrigation outlets addressed (we are in So Cal and the plants are currently establishing, I don't know how much we can turn the water down). Thoughts? Do I need to just calm down, or is this something to ask they correct? Thank you so much!!!

Hey Reddit, I'm hoping for a second opinion on the health of these plants. We had landscaping completed about three weeks ago. The contract includes 4 weeks of follow up to monitor plant health and the irrigation system. The guy assigned to us already skipped a week and the water was turned off during that as well (he still has full control over irrigation app). I keep flagging these plants, and the guy is telling me they are healthy and not to worry about them. They are purple wall flower, purple sage, white yarrow, and blue gramma grass. Please let me know your thoughts on their health and if I'm crazy to keep flagging their condition. Also, nothing perks up morning or night in cooler temps. In So Cal, all CA native/drought tolerant land scrapping. THANK YOU!!!!
