Waking the system up for spring

Irrigation Spring Startup

After a winter shut down, the sprinklers need a careful wake-up, not just a valve cranked open. Turned on too fast, the rush of water can crack heads and fittings. We charge the lines slowly, check every zone, and set the timer so the lawn gets even water from the first warm week.

What a Startup Sorts Out

A careful start in spring saves you from broken heads and dry patches all season.

Winter damage

We catch heads and fittings that cracked over a cold snap before they spray the wrong way.

Even coverage

We check each zone so the spray reaches the whole lawn and the dry corners get water.

A sensible schedule

We set the timer for the season so you are not over or under watering.

A gentle start

We bring the pressure up slowly, the way that protects the lines you cannot see.

A Careful Wake-Up, Zone by Zone

We open the main slowly and let the lines fill without a sudden surge of pressure. Once the system is charged, we run each zone and watch every head come up, looking for anything that cracked, clogged, or shifted over the winter.

We adjust the spray so it lands on the lawn and beds instead of the driveway, fix or flag anything broken, and set the timer for the season. You start the warm months with a system you can trust.

When to Book a Startup

Spring is the time to get ahead of it, before the lawn starts to dry out.

You want it running before the first dry spell
