Northwest Landscape Services - Kent's Best Landscapers

In our area, sprinkler leaks are often caused by winter freeze damage, ground settling, or wear on valves and connections. We start with a thorough inspection of your entire system to pinpoint the exact source. Our fix typically involves replacing cracked pipes or heads, tightening fittings, and ensuring proper drainage to prevent future freeze issues. We also check your system's pressure to prevent strain that leads to leaks, giving you a reliable, water-efficient irrigation system.

Kent's soil composition and seasonal weather—from heavy rain to frost heave—can cause rocks to settle and move over time. Stabilization isn't just about putting rocks back; it's about proper foundation. We address this by first installing a durable landscape fabric barrier to suppress weeds and separate soil layers. We then use a base of compacted gravel for drainage and stability before strategically placing and locking the rocks in place. For steep areas, we may incorporate retaining elements to create a low-maintenance rock feature that stays put.

Proactive care is key. We recommend a seasonal check-up: in spring, have your sprinkler system activated and tested for leaks or clogged heads before heavy use. In fall, blow out the system to prevent freeze damage. For rock gardens, a quick inspection after major storms to reposition any displaced rocks and refresh the top layer of gravel can maintain its appearance and function. We offer affordable maintenance plans tailored to Kent's climate to help you catch small problems before they become big, costly repairs.
