Spring Start-Ups

Professional spring start-ups across the Lower Mainland

Each spring we perform a thorough start-up so your system runs efficiently and reliably for the season ahead, tuned to your landscape and municipal bylaws.

After a long Fraser Valley winter, your irrigation system needs a proper sprinkler start-up before the watering season begins. A spring start-up is much more than just turning the water back on, it’s a full inspection and tune-up that catches small problems before they become expensive repairs, and makes sure your sprinkler system runs efficiently from the very first watering. Booking your spring start-up early in the season means your lawn and gardens are protected right when they need it most, across Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Surrey, Langley, Burnaby, Vancouver, Coquitlam, and the Lower Mainland.

The Details

What our spring start-ups involves

A closer look at how we deliver new construction that lasts.

1
A thorough sprinkler system inspection

We start by carefully pressurizing the system and checking it stage by stage. Controllers and wiring are tested, valves and solenoids are checked for proper operation, and backflow prevention devices are inspected. We look for the tell-tale signs of winter damage, cracked fittings, leaking valves, and broken sprinkler heads, so they can be repaired before they waste water or damage your landscape. A proper spring start-up is the best time to catch issues early, while they’re still small and inexpensive to fix.

2
Flushing, pressurizing, and zone testing
Lines are flushed to clear any debris that settled over winter, then the system is fully pressurized and every zone is run and tested. We check run times, water pressure, and coverage zone by zone, making sure each area of your property gets the water it needs without dry gaps or wasteful overlap. This is also the ideal moment to fine-tune your smart sprinkler controller for the season ahead and program it to local watering bylaws.
3
Sprinkler head adjustment and coverage tuning

Over a season, sprinkler heads drift out of alignment, get bumped by mowers, or sink slightly into the turf. During start-up we adjust every head for the correct height, spray pattern, and trajectory, so water lands on your lawn and beds, not on the driveway, fence, or side of the house. Proper coverage is the difference between a lush, even landscape and a patchy one, and it directly affects how much water you use through the summer.

4
Clear recommendations and on-site repairs

If we find an issue, we explain it clearly and, wherever possible, complete the sprinkler repair on the same visit. You get an honest, itemized picture of your system’s condition and any recommended repairs or upgrades, never upsells, just straight advice so you can make informed decisions about your property. The result is a water-efficient system that’s ready to keep your landscape healthy all season.
