Get the season off to a good start!


Well, with the snow finally gone for good (We hope!) and the temperatures are finally getting a bit warmer, it won’t be long till we all will be watering away trying to get those lawns looking great!
Most of us are going to have some work ahead of us this spring after that nasty winter for sure… some of us are going to have a lot of gravel and sand to get out or yards as well as the usual chores!
One thing that is definitely going to be an issue this year is damage from snow removal.
Let’s face it… it’s not easy to keep that snowblower away from those sprinkler heads after 5 months of snow! You can’t remember where your sidewalk is, much less the yard! So, while you are gearing up to start your spring yard work, we are gearing up to get your sprinklers and yards in tip top shape and ready to go again for another hot summer!
One important key to keeping your system operating at peak performance and putting the water where it needs to go, instead of in the street, on your cars, or on the neighbor’s porch is a good tune up!
Your cars need it, your lawnmowers need it, and your sprinkler system needs it too!
Let us help you out, and keep your sprinklers working like they should be with a spring start up and walkthrough.
I will personally start up your sprinklers, check out the condition of your Backflow prevention device (or Vacuum breaker), re-set your controller if need be, run through all your stations, visually inspect each head for trouble, clean out sprinklers that might need a little TLC, repair any broken parts or components, and then re-adjust and fine tune any and all sprinklers or controllers that might need a little adjusting after that hard winter!
A properly adjusted irrigation system can save you a tremendous amount of money … a poorly adjusted one can send your water and money into the gutter!
Give us a call or shoot us an email, and let us know if I can tune you up this spring!
