Q) Why do you evaluate the entire system?
     A) We evaluate the entire system because it is the right thing to do. As the homeowner please walk with us as we do the system evaluation.

 

Q) How long should I water my yard?
     A) Please refer to our watering scheduling tab.

 

Q) When does a sprinkler head need to be raised?
     A) When the spray head does not popup higher than the grass. This is easily determined by watching the water coming out of the spray head. If the water is deflected by the grass next to the spray head, then it needs raising.

 

Q) How do you locate valves that are lost in the yard?
      A) We have a specialized piece of equipment that sends a electronic signal down the wire from the controller. Then we use our specialized wand and follow the wire through out the yard until we find the valve.

 

Q) What can the homeowner do to reduce sprinkler repair cost?
     A) We recommend doing a system evaluation 5 times a year, once in  spring, fall, winter, and twice in summer.  This involves turning on each zone manually and looking at each spray head and rotor that is operating. By doing this you will notice problems at the beginning before the grass starts to turn brown due to lack of water.

 

Q) What type of material do you use for your repairs?
     A) We use commercial grade material Hunter and Rainbird components for all sprinkler repairs.
