Landscaping Seattle WA | Call Elitecross General Contractor

First, check your irrigation timer for any error codes or power issues, as timer failure is a common local problem. Then, manually run each zone and walk your property to look for clogged, sunken, or misaligned sprinkler heads. Often, Seattle's soil shifts can cause heads to tilt, creating dry spots. If a quick clean and adjustment don't solve it, the issue could be deeper, like a zone valve or pressure problem, which our team can diagnose and repair.

Absolutely. For durability in our damp climate, we recommend materials like cedar (naturally rot-resistant), powder-coated aluminum, or composite. Proper installation is key—we ensure posts are set with adequate drainage gravel and concrete to prevent water pooling and premature rot. We'll also advise on the ideal height and style for your needs, whether it's for privacy, pet security, or simply defining your beautiful, well-watered landscape.

We highly recommend upgrading to a Wi-Fi-enabled smart irrigation controller. These systems connect to local weather data and automatically adjust watering schedules based on Seattle's rainfall, preventing overwatering. Paired with a system check to fix any leaks or coverage gaps, this upgrade can significantly reduce your water bill and keep your landscape lush, even during our dry summer spells. We handle the full installation and setup.
