A partly blocked nozzle, a sprinkler that has sunk below the turf line or a solenoid that is slow to close will waste water for months, and the first sign is usually a dry patch in January when the damage is already done.
A service runs every zone in turn and checks spray patterns, arc settings, sprinkler heights, filters, drip emitters and valve operation. Heads are cleaned or replaced, arcs are reset, and anything sitting low gets raised back to the right level so the spray clears the grass.
The controller is then reprogrammed for the season with realistic run times and start times, and if it is a Wifi model the schedules and weather settings are set up in the app. Early spring is the ideal time, well before the first run of hot days.
