Spring is the perfect time to refresh your garden—and that includes your irrigation system. After a long winter, preparing your system properly can prevent damage, save water, and ensure your plants thrive all season long.

Start by inspecting all visible components for cracks, clogs, or damage caused by freezing temperatures. This includes sprinkler heads, valves, and pipes that may have expanded or contracted during the cold months.

Next, flush the system to remove debris and test each zone to ensure proper coverage and water pressure. Don’t forget to reprogram your timer for spring watering schedules that match your region’s needs.

Checking for leaks is crucial. Even small underground leaks can result in high water bills and poor plant health. A professional inspection can catch issues you might miss.
