How often should my irrigation system be inspected?

We recommend quarterly inspections to catch issues early. At minimum, your system should be inspected during spring startup and fall winterization.

What does an irrigation maintenance visit include?

Each visit includes running all zones, checking head alignment and coverage, adjusting run times, inspecting valves and connections, and testing the rain sensor.

Can you maintain a system you didn't install?

Yes. We service and maintain all major irrigation brands and can take over maintenance of your existing system regardless of who installed it.

How much does sprinkler maintenance cost?

Sprinkler maintenance costs vary based on system size and number of zones. Our seasonal maintenance plans start at an affordable rate and include spring startup, mid-summer check, fall adjustment, and winterization. Contact us for a customized quote.

Regular maintenance to keep your sprinkler system running efficiently.

Professional Irrigation Maintenance in Sanford, NC & Central North Carolina

Regular irrigation maintenance prevents costly repairs, reduces water waste, and ensures your lawn receives consistent coverage. Our maintenance program includes seasonal inspections, head adjustments, controller programming updates, and system performance checks. We identify and address small issues before they become expensive problems.

Even the best irrigation system needs regular maintenance to operate efficiently. Heads get knocked out of alignment by mowers and foot traffic, nozzles clog with sediment from North Carolina's mineral-rich well water, and seasonal changes require adjustments to watering schedules and run times. Our irrigation maintenance program includes scheduled inspections and adjustments that keep your system running at peak performance, preventing the water waste and plant stress that come from neglected systems.

Our standard maintenance visit includes a full system audit — we run each zone individually, checking every head for proper rotation, spray pattern, and coverage. We adjust heads that have shifted, clean or replace clogged nozzles, and check for leaks at pipe joints and valve connections. We also inspect the controller programming and update watering schedules based on the current season, recent rainfall, and any changes to your landscape. This proactive approach catches small problems before they become expensive repairs.

For properties with well water, which is common in rural areas of Lee, Moore, and Harnett counties, we pay special attention to filtration systems and nozzle maintenance. The iron and mineral content in local well water can clog micro-irrigation emitters and stain hardscapes if not properly filtered. We recommend and install inline filters where needed and include filter cleaning in our maintenance visits. Our seasonal maintenance plans typically include four visits per year — spring startup, mid-summer adjustment, early fall transition, and winterization.
