Winterizing isn’t the finish line. You're halfway there.
Once the lines are blown out, leave the system off. One run on a cold night refills the pipes and can crack your backflow.
Spot a broken head or cracked valve box this winter?
Fix it now, instead of waiting till April.
Before you turn it back on, book a spring start-up.
Rushing water back in causes early-season damage. Get on our calendar while it's early!
Did you really get the sprinkler head just to spray one spot? đź‘€
We didn't think so.
Usually it’s dirt or debris stuck in the gear drive, a worn-out internal gear, or low water pressure.
If it gets left one corner floods while the rest of the zone dries out.
We fix these all over Hampton Roads. Call for a free estimate and we’ll get it rotating again.

Is your New Year resolution having damaged sprinkler systems, right after the holidays? We didn't think so either.
Get on our schedule now, to have a the winterization follow up before freezing temperatures destroy your irrigation system.
Leftover water trapped in your lines will expand, crack pipes, and ruin expensive backflow valves, causing a much bigger issue going into spring 2027.
Schedule something now,
Can’t find your sprinkler heads anymore? They are right where you didn't expect
Over time the soil settles and the grass and thatch build up around them until they’re buried.
A sunken head sprays into the turf instead of over it, and that’s how you end up with dry spots.
Raising and re-leveling them is a quick fix that makes a big difference.
Imagine this.
If you weren't in the right environment, you wouldn't be able to do your best work, right?
It works the same way with short 4-inch sprinkler heads. If they're buried inside mulch beds, they can't do their job.
As mulch piles up, it blocks the spray pattern completely, leaving your lawn dry and starving for water.
We know what kind of sprinklers are meant for each placement.
If a head waters turf, it belongs in the turf!
The best phrase of life, don't reinvent the wheel.
Rebuilding this well setup meant replacing the casing and rewiring just to move a working switch.
There isn't much of a reason to tackle a job like that if it is fully operational, and if efficient.
Our goal, alongside providing the upmost quality products and services in Hampton Roads, is to keep what works and save clients money.

The biggest question to ask before we go into the fall season,
"is every part of my lawn getting consistent water?"
Not if you don't have an efficient system that has adequate coverage. It's time to put the hose down, and get more time to yourself while school is in session.
Does it look like your spray isn't even?
Foot traffic, mowers, and even the weather can knock sprinkler heads crooked all the time.
When a head tilts, it sprays too low on one side and shoots water high into the wind on the other, leaving dry spots across your entire zone.
This is a step by step on preventative measures we take to keep your sprinkler heads efficient
