Time for Your Mid-Season Irrigation Check-Up!

It’s been a few months since your irrigation system was activated for the season—now is the perfect time for a mid-season check-up. Ensuring your system is working properly, delivering full coverage, and programmed for the summer heat will help keep your landscape healthy and vibrant.

Between spring and mid-summer, issues can arise—especially in older systems. Leaks, broken sprinkler heads, plant overgrowth, or outdated controller settings can all impact performance. That’s why we recommend checking your system weekly to catch small problems before they turn into costly repairs.

Here are some easy steps to help keep your lawn and landscape thriving all summer:

1. Manually run each zone and observe sprinkler performance.
2. Ensure each zone opens and closes properly.
3. Check if sprinkler heads pop up as they should.
4. Look for uniform spray patterns.
5. Inspect for clogged nozzles or blocked heads.
6. Confirm rotary sprinklers are rotating correctly.
7. Watch for plant growth that may block spray coverage.
8. Assess new landscaping to determine if additional irrigation is needed.
9. Review your controller settings. We recommend watering every other day. During very hot weather, increase watering duration or add an extra cycle to help offset evaporation and cool your plants.
