Frequently Asked Questions
My lawn in Belgrade has dry spots even though my sprinklers run. Can you help?
Absolutely. Dry spots are a common issue here, especially as the weather heats up or after storms shift sprinkler alignment. We start by inspecting your entire system for leaks, clogged heads, or improper coverage. Using methods like valve locating and wire tracing, we diagnose the root cause—whether it's a broken line, a misaligned head, or a controller issue—and make precise repairs or adjustments. Our goal is to restore even, efficient water coverage so your lawn gets the consistent moisture it needs to stay healthy.
What's involved in your irrigation system design and construction service?
Our design and construction service begins with understanding your property's specific layout and water needs. Leveraging Mark's AS degree in Landscape Design and decades of experience, we create a custom plan focused on water efficiency and zone-specific coverage. We then professionally install the system, specializing in integrating low-volume drip irrigation for gardens and beds alongside traditional sprinklers for lawns. This tailored approach ensures your new system is built correctly from the start, providing reliable performance and conserving water for years to come.
Do you offer maintenance to prevent problems before they start?
Yes, proactive maintenance is key to a trouble-free system. Our seasonal start-up service is crucial for Belgrade's climate, where winter freezing can cause damage. We pressurize the system, check for leaks, test every zone, and program your controller for the current season. Throughout the year, we offer check-ups that include cleaning and adjusting sprinkler heads, inspecting valves, and ensuring drip lines are clear. This regular care helps prevent major breakdowns, saves water, and keeps your landscape vibrant with minimal interruption.
