Sprinkler Services
Irrigation System Design
Every homeowner has tried to do it themselves wherever possible: painting, constructing, and even landscaping are within the realm of home projects – but there’s one area of landscaping that you won’t want to try DIY-ing: simple, yet deceptive, irrigation installation.
Irrigation installation is one of the trickiest parts of lawn care due to its steep learning curve and the amount of manual labor required. No homeowner wants to be hauling dirt around in the middle of the summer – that’s why our sprinkler installation specialist are here to help.
Next, we bring in the materials: sprinkler heads, fittings, elbows, threaded tees, and connectors. Once we’ve gotten everything together, we’ll touch base with you to figure out how you’d like your sprinklers to be programmed. No more getting drenched with water while you’re taking out the trash can – will keep you dry with cool and concise programming!
After that, we dig trenches with specialized tools, minimizing the amount of wear and tear on your yard. Once the trenches are dug, we lay the pipes, install the valves, and complete your irrigation installation with just a few extra steps. After all, Hometown Landscaping is here to take care of the nitty gritty – we promise that we won’t mist a thing!
Repairs
Sprinkler repair is one of those home improvement projects that nobody wants to tackle. From troubleshooting complicated water issues to digging gaping trenches through your carefully manicured lawn, it can get difficult (and expensive) fast. That’s why you reach for the professionals when it comes to your sprinkler repair needs, and Hometown Landscaping is among the best.
Our sprinklers are a huge part of maintaining our properties. In the summer, our sunny Massachusetts days mean that temperatures regularly exceed 80 degrees, meaning that your lawn bakes to a crisp without adequate water. Without a functioning sprinkler system, you’ll be looking at dry, dead grass before long – and nobody wants to be that house in the neighborhood.
Spring Startups
In the spring we service the backflow preventer, making sure the main line and valves are tight and there are no leaks. We run through each zone and confirm all heads are adjusted and rotating properly. For customers on a well or a pond, we clean the main filter once the service is complete.
During this service we compile a list of repairs and go over the details with the homeowner or facility manager. From there, we either make the repair immediately or schedule an appointment to repair more substantial problems.
Fall Winterization
In the fall we use compressors to blow all the water out of the system using high pressure and no harsh chemicals. We make a note of all major damage and allot time in the spring to complete the repairs in one visit.
It is recommended that irrigation systems running on a well should clean or change system filters on a frequent basis.
A Spring Startup or a Fall Winterization can be scheduled anytime.
