That's why it's important that all your irrigation needs are met. And, you guessed, we're the guys to call. Unfortunately we live in a world where, occasionally, things break down. Things like sprinklers, sprinkler heads, sprinklers and sprinklers. Boy, do they sure have a knack for finding ways to not work. Sprinkler heads are right at ground level, right where the average persons foot goes when they're walking! As you can see this makes for a poor relationship between feet and sprinkler heads.

Does your sprinkler system need activation after lying dormant for months on end? We'll have a certified technician out there in no time.

What about backflow testing? You already know what I'm going to say, don't you? We're recently state certified to test your sprinkler system. Don't put this off! Not only does your backflow system prevent lots of bad stuff from entering your potable water system which you use everyday, you could also be in trouble with the state! Oh no! Who wants that? Going to the DMV is bad enough. Imagine the DMV coming to you! Ya, that would be terrible. Get your backflow system tested now and save yourself a massive headache later.
Make sure you have the right type of sprinkler for your type of lawn, it's shape and size. There are basically three types of sprinklers to choose from. In no particular order:

Make sure you have the right type of sprinkler for your type of lawn, it's shape and size. There are basically three types of sprinklers to choose from. In no particular order:
- Pulsating Sprinkler: these sprinklers spray a jet of water in a circular space and can water up to 10,000 square feet of lawn, assuming there is enough water pressure. One niche benefit of this type of sprinkler is that it can be used to handle irregular or oddly shaped spaces. Pulsating sprinklers tend to puddle less, which saves water (of course), money and is better for your yard. The down side of pulsating sprinklers is they are quite noisy compared to other models and don't function nearly as well when connected with a water system that has low pressure.
- Oscillating Sprinkler: these are likely the most popular and well known types of sprinklers. They water in a rectangular pattern and can handle up to 4,000 square feet depending on the water pressure. Oscillating sprinklers are unfortunately prone to puddling and, due to the curvature of the water sprayed from this sprinkler, quite a bit of water will miss its mark. These downsides are amplified with cheap versions of this sprinkler. An easy way to determine if the sprinkler you're buying is of sufficient quality (despite price) is to see how many jets it has. You want an oscillating sprinkler with at least fifteen spray jets and that doesn't delay when changing directions. The more spray jets and the quicker the oscillation, the better.
- Stationary Sprinkler: stationary sprinklers are designed for smaller areas than the other two types and spray in a circular, rectangular or square pattern. These sprinklers might best be known as the ones small children (or some adults, possibly) play in and jump through. Besides being fun to play in and around these sprinkles are great because they're cheap, quite portable (despite their name) and don't mind working with a low water pressure system. The downside is they're, well, cheap. Stationary sprinklers clog easily and are typically made of cheap plastics which don't last very long, especially with regular use and when exposed to too much weather.
