Here's a couple of before and after pictures of what we in the irrigation business lovingly refer to as "grass pimples". They are caused by broken irrigation lines, which traps water underneath the sod. We call them grass pimples because they swell up and when you stick a shovel into them, they pop like a giant zit, spewing mud and water everywhere!!! This particular job gave me fits all week, with 6 leaks in a 25 foot area (four of them were grass pimples). Seems the homeowner next to this common area installed a new system, and in the process cut through the common area lines in several places.
This particular pimple was about a foot tall and 3 or 4 feet around. The one I found today was 18" tall and about 6 feet around! It was pretty cool, except for the part about having to dig them up. The lines were anywhere from 1 to 3 feet deep, and the temps today were 106 degrees with 60% humidity and very little breeze.
