Spring start-up, done slowly
Charge the system gradually, walk every zone, check every head while it is running. Pressurising a cold system fast is how a fitting that survived the winter fails in April.

Most irrigation problems are not broken systems. They are a head that got clipped by a mower and now waters the drive, a zone that runs eight minutes when it needs eighteen, and a controller nobody has touched since it was installed. All three are cheap to fix and expensive to ignore.

Arc and radius set so water goes on turf and plantings. A misaimed head is the most common reason one corner of a lawn is brown while the sidewalk grows moss.
A soft spot, a zone that will not build pressure, a water bill that jumped — these have findable causes.
Compressed air through every zone. In this climate that is not maintenance, it is the difference between a working system and a spring full of split pipe.
Most of our customers book two or three of these together — it is cheaper than separate visits and it all gets done the same day.
Booked most often in these communities — and available in all 29 we cover.
Before the first hard freeze — for us that usually means early-to-mid October, and we would rather be two weeks early than one day late. Water left in a lateral line will split it.
Fewer, longer cycles beat daily sprinkles: aim for about an inch of water a week total, delivered deeply so roots follow it down. Daily short cycles grow shallow roots that cannot survive August.
Our irrigation work is maintenance, repair and seasonal service on systems that are already in the ground. If you need a new system designed and installed, tell us and we will be straight with you about scope.
It is the promise Robert Diaz has made since 2016, and we have kept it on the site word for word: if you are not completely happy with the work, we will make it right or you get your money back. There is no version of this where you are stuck with a lawn you are unhappy about.
