Starting Your Sprinklers in the Spring – What You Need to Know
After a long winter, it’s time to wake up your sprinkler system and get it ready for a spring of keeping your landscape looking its best. Our sprinkler start-up service gets your system ready for optimum performance during the season by performing regular maintenance and identifying any specific issues that may cause problems during the spring season.
Trust our technicians to follow the correct procedures to start your system correctly. Take note: it is possible for a novice to cause significant damage to a system by refilling the pipes incorrectly. Surge pressures, air compression and water hammer can result and can damage or destroy sprinkler heads, valves and other components. Unless you’re familiar with the correct start-up procedure for your system, leave it to our professionals.
Our spring start-up service includes:
- Refilling the system with water
- Testing available water pressure
- Operating each zone from the irrigation controller
- Checking each sprinkler head for operation and coverage
- Adjusting and cleaning components as needed
- Visually checking for broken risers and underground leaks
- Setting controller for the upcoming watering season
- Verifying sensor operation (where applicable)
Contact our office to schedule your spring start-up today.

FAQs About Drip Irrigation
We’re getting more and more calls about Drip Irrigation and that’s great. Drip systems use a lot less water than sprinklers, plus plants, flowers, trees and shrubs LOVE Drip. Best of all, Drip Irrigation can be easily integrated into your existing sprinkler system.
If you’ve been curious about Drip Irrigation and whether or not it’s for you, check out the following FAQS or Contact Us today. We’ll be happy to give you a FREE Audit and Estimate.
What are the benefits of Drip Irrigation?
Saves Water and Money
- Up to 70% more efficient than sprinklers
- Won’t damage siding or fencing with water blasting
- Won’t “overwater” onto sidewalks, driveways or streets
Makes Life Easier
- Can be used during windy periods
- Can still efficiently deliver water to the soil even during hotter temps
- Works even in clay and sandy soils
- Can be easily modified, expanded or moved based on evolving landscaping
- Doesn’t require trenching
Plants LOVE IT
- Delivers water slowly, drip by drip, for more accurate, consistent watering to root systems
- Maintains both an even amount of soil moisture and air in the soil, which stimulates plant growth
- Plants and flowers grow fuller and prettier
- Perfect solution for specific plants or shrubs that struggle with top watering, such as shrub roses
- Discourages weed growth and disease
Where should Drip Irrigation be used?
- In flower and vegetable gardens
- At the base of trees or shrubs
- In landscaping and berms
- On sloped areas of a property
- In awkward-shaped areas of the yard
- In large pots and planters
- Where you’ve plants with differing watering needs
Where shouldn’t it be used?
- Overhead irrigation works best for grass which is why we use both overhead irrigation and Drip Irrigation in designing our sprinkler systems
- Also, Drip Irrigation shouldn’t be used in annual garden beds where greenery is densely planted
What are the components used for a Drip Irrigation system?
- Emitters
- Tubes
- Microsprays
How would Drip integrate with my existing sprinkler system?
- Each Drip Irrigation area would function as a separate zone
- Those zones would work off the same controller as your current system
How do you winterize the Drip zones?
- While a Drip system needs to be drained of water, it doesn’t need to be blown out with an air compressor.

Before Hardscaping, Call Quality Irrigation
Thinking about putting in a patio, a rock wall, a fire pit or any other kind of hardscaping? Before you put that shovel in the ground, please give us a call. Why? Because if you accidentally cut a sprinkler line, you could see your hard work–and your hard-earned money– wash away. Our latest Watering Tip Video #4, “Hardscapes” explains.
Cutting your sprinkler lines can be a costly mistake. Call us before hardscaping.

“How” You Water Flowers & Plants Makes a Big Difference
You probably know that different plants have different watering needs but did you know that “how” you water your plants makes a big difference? Some plants should be watered at the base and don’t do well with overhead watering.
Rose bushes are a perfect example, as our latest Watering Tip Video, “Different Watering Needs,” demonstrates. That’s why we frequently recommend drip irrigation for gardens, burms and flowerbeds. Drip irrigation supplies water directly to the base of plants and minimizes water loss due to evaporation.
Remember ALL plants do well when watered at the base but there are many that struggle when watered from overhead.
