SPRING START UP:

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.

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.

DRAIN TILE INSTALLATION:

Drain tile installation for downspouts is a method used to direct rainwater collected from gutters away from the foundation of your home. It involves connecting the downspouts (which carry water from the gutters) to an underground drainage system, usually a perforated pipe (drain tile) that channels the water to a safe location, such as a storm drain or a designated area in your yard.
