Accepted Answer

We offer same-day and next-day appointments for most service requests. We understand that a broken sprinkler system can damage your lawn quickly, so we prioritize fast response times.

Question 4

Can you install sprinklers under my driveway or sidewalk?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We have specialized boring tools that allow us to run irrigation lines under driveways, sidewalks, and other hardscapes without cutting or damaging them. This is one of our most requested services.

Question 5

My sprinkler valve is buried and I can't find it — can you help?

Accepted Answer

Yes! This is one of our specialties. We use electronic valve locating equipment to pinpoint buried valves no matter how long they've been underground. Once located, we can repair or replace the valve and install a proper valve box for easy future access.

Question 6

I found an old well on my property. Can you test it?

Accepted Answer

We can. We use gas-powered pumps to test the flow rate and pressure of old wells to determine if they're functional for irrigation use. This can save you significantly on your water bill if the well is viable.

Question 7

What is a smart irrigation controller and do I need one?

Accepted Answer

A smart controller connects to Wi-Fi and uses local weather data to automatically adjust your watering schedule. It waters less when it rains and more during dry spells. Most homeowners see a meaningful reduction in their water bill after upgrading. We can retrofit one to your existing system.

Question 8

How do I know if my sprinkler system needs repair?

Accepted Answer

Common signs include dry or brown patches in your lawn, unusually high water bills, visible leaks or wet spots, sprinkler heads that don't pop up or rotate correctly, and zones that don't activate. If you notice any of these, give us a call for a diagnosis.

Question 9

Do you work on commercial properties and HOAs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We handle large-scale irrigation for commercial properties, business parks, retail centers, and homeowner associations. We have the equipment and experience to manage complex multi-zone systems.

Question 10

What is drip irrigation and is it right for my garden?

Accepted Answer

Drip irrigation delivers water directly to the root zone of plants through small emitters, eliminating runoff and evaporation. It's ideal for flower beds, vegetable gardens, shrubs, and delicate plantings. It uses significantly less water than traditional sprinklers and keeps plants healthier.

Question 11

How much does a new sprinkler system cost?

Accepted Answer

The cost depends on the size of your property, the number of zones required, the type of heads and controllers used, and any site-specific challenges like hardscape crossings. We provide on-site evaluations and custom quotes — call us to schedule yours.
