Regular maintenance is crucial for the optimal performance of your irrigation system. We recommend a thorough inspection and tune-up at least twice a year, typically in the spring before the peak watering season begins, and in the fall to prepare the system for winter. However, the frequency can vary based on your system’s age, the complexity of your landscape, and local climate conditions.

Irrigation maintenance typically includes inspecting and cleaning all components, checking for leaks or damage, adjusting sprinkler heads for proper coverage, testing the system’s pressure to ensure efficient operation, and updating the controller settings to reflect current weather conditions and landscape needs. It may also involve winterizing the system to prevent freeze damage or starting it up in the spring.

Absolutely. Regular maintenance helps detect and fix small issues before they become costly repairs, ensures your system is operating efficiently to reduce water waste, and can extend the lifespan of your irrigation system, saving you money on premature replacements. Efficiently maintained systems also contribute to healthier plants, potentially reducing costs related to landscaping and plant replacement.

While some basic maintenance tasks can be performed by homeowners, professional maintenance is recommended to ensure that all aspects of the system are thoroughly evaluated and properly serviced. Professionals have the tools, knowledge, and experience to diagnose and repair issues efficiently, optimize system performance, and provide advice on upgrades or improvements. This ensures your system operates at its best, providing long-term savings and peace of mind.
