Irrigation
Spring Startup
Done Right
Minnesota winters are hard on irrigation systems. Before you just turn the water back on, let us check for frost damage, test every zone, and set your system up for the season — the right way.
Turning your system on wrong is one of the most common causes of damage
Improper spring startup is how you blow heads, crack pipes, and flood valve boxes. Too much pressure too fast — even just once — can cause damage you won't discover until the system is fully running and the lawn is already suffering.
A professional startup also catches any frost damage from the winter before it compounds — saving you from a much bigger repair bill in May or June.
"Spring startup is your first and best chance to catch winter damage before your lawn pays for it."

Safe, Slow Pressurization
We restore water pressure gradually to prevent surge damage to pipes, heads, and valve diaphragms.
Zone-by-Zone Inspection
Every zone is run and visually inspected — we look for broken heads, misting, poor coverage, and dry spots.
Head Adjustments
Arc, radius, and direction adjusted on every head so coverage is even and efficient from day one.
Controller Programming
Spring schedules set — run times, rain delay, and seasonal adjustments dialed in for the current conditions.
Same-Visit Repairs If Needed
If we find frost damage or broken components, we can repair them on the same visit — with a quote before we proceed.
Every spring, our schedule is booked weeks in advance. Don't start the season late.
