The Process

What's Included in Every Spring Start-Up

Our spring activation is more than just turning on the water. We perform a thorough inspection to make sure your system is fully ready before the growing season starts.

System Activation

We restore water supply to your system, slowly pressurizing it to check for any leaks or damage from the winter.

Zone-by-Zone Test

Every zone is activated and visually inspected — we check spray patterns, head alignment, and coverage.

Head Adjustment & Repair

We adjust misaligned heads, clear blocked nozzles, and flag any broken components that need replacement.

Controller Programming

We update your watering schedule for the season — accounting for Michigan's spring conditions and your landscape.

Why It Matters

Start the Season Right

Winter is hard on irrigation systems — even properly winterized ones. A professional spring start-up catches issues early so you're not dealing with dry patches, water waste, or expensive repairs mid-summer.

  • Catch winter damage before it becomes a summer emergency
  • Ensure proper coverage so your lawn doesn't dry out
  • Optimize watering schedules for Michigan spring conditions
  • Extend the life of your system with annual professional inspection

FAQ

Spring Start-Up Questions

When should I schedule my spring start-up in Michigan?

We recommend scheduling your spring activation after the last hard freeze — typically mid-April through May in Metro Detroit. Activating too early risks freeze damage if a late frost occurs.

What does a spring start-up include?

Every start-up includes system pressurization, zone-by-zone testing, head inspection and adjustment, and controller programming for the season.

Do you repair any issues found during start-up?

Minor adjustments are included. For repairs requiring parts, we'll provide a quote on the spot and can often complete the work the same visit.

How long does a spring start-up take?

Most residential systems take 30–60 minutes. Larger properties with more zones may take longer.

Do you service systems installed by other companies?

Yes — we service all brands and systems regardless of who installed them.
