New Horizon Lanscape | Experienced Landscaping Services in Petaluma, CA

In Petaluma, the most common cause is a combination of our clay-rich soil shifting during wet/dry cycles and accidental damage from lawn mowers or foot traffic. We fix it by not only replacing the head but also checking the alignment and depth of the entire zone. Often, we install more durable, low-profile heads and adjust the surrounding grade to prevent future issues, ensuring a long-lasting repair.

Signs of a leak include soggy patches when the system is off, a sudden spike in your water bill, or low pressure in one zone. Your first step should be to check your water meter. Turn off all water in the house, note the meter reading, wait two hours, and check again. If it moved, you likely have a leak. Then, give us a call. We'll perform a systematic pressure test and use specialized equipment to pinpoint the exact location, whether it's at a valve, a lateral line, or a connection, saving you from unnecessary digging.

Yes, we highly recommend seasonal maintenance for Petaluma homes. Our plan includes a spring start-up to check for winter damage, adjust heads, and program timers for the dry season. In the fall, we perform a blow-out to prevent freezing in lines (if needed) and a system audit to catch small leaks or misalignments before they become big problems. This proactive approach saves water, money, and keeps your landscape looking its best year-round.
