It’s Time for Spring Start-Ups!



After a long and cold winter, it’s finally spring! The sun is shining, the birds are singing and people are starting to bust out their swim suits and flip-flops! One of the many springtime services we offer here at Fernbrook Landscape is spring start-ups. But what exactly are spring start-ups, and why are they so important for your irrigation system?

Spring start-ups are basically the way your irrigation system is reactivated after the winter months are over for good. Several different routine maintenance checks are done to ensure your irrigation system runs smoothly and hasn’t sustained damage during the cold months. You can’t just turn the water on and expect your irrigation system to operate like normal. So here are a few things we will check when we come.

We will check and adjust all of the sprinkler heads. They will be checked for any damage that might have occurred during the winter. We will also check and adjust the electronic controller, plus we will check the backflow device. From there, we will gradually reapply the water pressure to the mainline. We do this by slowly refilling the main irrigation system from the main shut-off valve.

This is a carefully executed procedure, and we are always cautious with these systems to avoid any unnecessary damage, which could save you money on costly repairs in the long run. After we are done with the routine maintenance and inspection, we will run the system to ensure it is working as smoothly as it should. And in no time at all, your irrigation system will be watering your lawn as it should!

So when you need a spring start-up, repairs to your current irrigation system or a new one installed, call us here at Fernbrook Landscaping at 763-441-7575 or you can Request a Free Estimate.
