Spring is the ideal season when it comes to lawn upgrades and landscaping projects.
Maintaining a lush and beautiful lawn can be a real challenge, especially towards the end of spring once the weather begins to warm up. The addition of an automated sprinkler system means less time spent tending the garden, watering the lawn and maintaining the surroundings.
The best time of year for installing your new irrigation system is often the end of May through July, a window of opportunity that will ensure your backyard and outdoor environments will be in great shape for the start of summer.
Seasonal Repairs and Upgrades
Freezing winter weather can be very hard on irrigation equipment, especially older systems that may already be showing signs of wear. Water expands when it freezes which can place tremendous strain on pipes, fixtures and sprinkler heads.
Scheduling a system inspection or even an upgrade at the start of spring will ensure consistent and dependable system performance throughout the year. When dealing with an existing irrigation or sprinkler system that may be suffering from performance issues or that may no longer be equal to the task, replacing your equipment or upgrading the system before summer arrives in full force can be a smart move.

Maintenance and Upkeep
A thorough inspection of the system may turn up any number of mechanical issues that may need to be addressed. A comprehensive maintenance checklist is often beyond the abilities of most home and property owners and may include:
- Replacing or resealing all plugs and valves
- Visual inspection of all lines, pipes, and fixtures
- Adjusting sprinkler height and placement due to lawn growth
- Calibration or replacement of electric solenoid valves
Extending the Operational Service Life of the System
Neglecting to maintain your irrigation system can lead to more frequent mechanical issues and higher repair costs. With professional installation and routine seasonal or annual upkeep, quality sprinkler systems can last for years or even decades.
Scheduling a service appointment to have all fixtures and equipment inspected, assessed and tested during the spring means that any problems that may have developed can be detected and resolved before higher temperatures and long summer days become an issue.
Overlooking the need for routine maintenance and periodic upkeep could find you with no other choice but to replace your system entirely.
Professional Service and Solutions
Ensuring the best possible irrigation for your lawn or landscape is never an issue that should be left to chance. Automated sprinkler systems may be able to greatly diminish the volume of water needed to irrigate your garden or lawn. Automatic timers, soil sensors and other equipment options ensure more consistent coverage which helps to minimize the issues caused when grass and other plants get too much or too little water.
Scheduling a spring service appointment to have a sprinkler system installed or to test, adjust or even upgrade your existing system equipment means being able to enjoy hands-free watering all summer long.
