Lawn Irrigation Maintenance
Lawn irrigation system maintenance is a very important part of protecting your landscape, plants, and turf. Greenworks EcoScapes’ irrigation maintenance schedule includes spring startup, mid-season system evaluation, and adjustment, and winterization of the system. It is vital to the health of your lawn that your sprinkler system controller settings are at appropriate levels.
Automated Irrigation System Maintenance
Having an automatic irrigation system makes watering your turf, trees, and shrubs simple. To keep it operating at peak efficiency, the system needs periodic maintenance. A system that is incorrectly adjusted may not cover the turf or shrubs effectively. You may even end up watering your driveway or neighbor’s lawn more than your own.

Water Conservation
Regularly inspecting your sprinkler system allows you to catch leaks and other issues quickly before they become a major problem.

Leaks, buildup on the spray heads, and more can cause your water bill to rise. It can even make your irrigation system fail prematurely.
Healthy Lush Landscaping
The key to a healthy lawn and garden is consistent watering. You need the right amount delivered at the right time to see the best results.
Our Irrigation Maintenance Schedule
Spring Start-Up Service
We start by checking the mainline water supply and priming the irrigation water line. We verify that each zone turns on and off correctly and test the controller operation. After dormancy in winter, the valves tend to stick, wasting water and reducing water pressure on the entire system.
We check all sections of the system and clean or replace the valves when necessary. We adjust the irrigation heads for proper coverage and calibrate the run times for each zone depending on the plants in each area. Leakage and water output is tested to ensure a properly functioning system. Any repairs or uptakes are handled as needed.
Mid-Season Adjustment
Adjustment of watering times is needed as we transition from spring to the hot, dry summer. We check for leaks and the irrigation heads ensure proper distribution. We level the heads and check the system for needed repairs.
Winterization Service
Winterization is the draining and blowing out of heads, rotors, valves, and lines before the freezing temperatures set in. We also use this time to check for any updates that should be addressed before the next spring start-up.
Ensuring Your Irrigation System is Working Properly
Regular maintenance is essential to keep your irrigation system working properly. At Greenworks EcoScapes, we check your sprinkler heads, pipes, and valves to ensure optimal performance. This prevents common issues like water waste and inefficient watering.
By conducting regular maintenance, we catch problems early, preventing costly repairs and wasted water. Our team uses high-pressure air compressors to blow out any blockages and ensure the system operates smoothly. Don’t forget, a well-maintained irrigation system is key to a lush, healthy lawn.
The Role of Rain Sensors in Water Conservation
Installing rain sensors can significantly reduce water waste by ensuring your system only runs when necessary. These sensors measure the amount of water in your soil and pause your sprinkler system during or after rainfall. This helps maintain the right inch of water needed for your plants without over-watering.
Greenworks EcoScapes includes rain sensor installation and maintenance as part of our irrigation services. By using these sensors, you save money and conserve water, while keeping your lawn healthy and green. Regularly checking and maintaining these sensors ensures they continue to operate efficiently.
Common Sprinkler System Maintenance Issues
One of the most common issues with sprinkler systems is leaks, which can waste a significant amount of water. Regular maintenance involves inspecting and adjusting sprinkler heads to ensure even coverage and prevent high pressure that can damage the system. Checking the pipes and valves regularly helps avoid unexpected breakdowns.
Our team at Greenworks EcoScapes is skilled in identifying and fixing these common problems. Regular inspections and timely repairs keep your system efficient, saving you water and money. Don’t forget, maintaining your sprinkler system is crucial for a thriving, water-efficient garden.
