A lawn sprinkler start-up, also known as a “spring turn-on,” is the process of reopening your sprinkler system after being shut down for the winter. During this service, a technician will carefully open the supply valves, gradually reintroduce water, and thoroughly inspect the lateral lines, backflow devices, and valve manifolds for any signs of leaks or damage. Each sprinkler head will be checked to ensure optimal spray direction and coverage, while drip irrigation lines and emitters will be evaluated for proper functionality. Additionally, the technician will reprogram the irrigation controller to align with appropriate spring settings and watering schedules, ensuring your system operates efficiently for the season ahead.
Regular sprinkler inspections and service visits should be conducted at least once a year to maintain optimal system performance.

In regions with harsh winters or extreme cold, properly winterizing your lawn sprinkler system is essential. A certified irrigation specialist will ensure that your system is thoroughly winterized, blown out, and shut down at the end of the season, safeguarding it from potential weather-related damage. Our experienced lawn care professionals use specialized equipment calibrated to manufacturer specifications, delivering the precise amount of compressed air needed to effectively remove any remaining water from the system’s main lines, lateral lines, manifold, and solenoid valves. With our expert service, you can trust that your sprinkler system will remain fully functional, with components such as sprinkler heads, solenoid valves, and piping.
Install a backflow preventer to protect your home’s water supply from contamination. This device ensures that water flows only in one direction, preventing any unwanted reverse flow of contaminated water into the clean water system, which could pose health risks.
Install drain tiles to direct rainwater collected from downspouts away from your home’s foundation. The downspouts are connected to an underground drainage system, typically a perforated pipe, that channels the water to a safe location, such as a storm drain or a designated area in your yard.
Install garden irrigation systems, add drip emitters to flower or shrub beds, replace drip irrigation filters, replace the pressure regulator, and repair existing systems.
Excavate soil to provide access for installing pipes, cables, or infrastructure components while ensuring proper support and stability of the surrounding area.
Replace copper valves, shutoff valves, install a main sprinkler shutoff valve, and replace manifolds to ensure the proper functioning of your sprinkler system.
Replace transformers/controllers, rewire electric solenoid valves, install low voltage control wiring, and locate mainlines and valves for your irrigation system.
