Irrigation Zone Scheduling and Programming

Controller programs built zone by zone for your plants, soil and season, with cycle and soak and seasonal adjustments explained clearly.

A sprinkler system is only as good as its schedule, and most schedules are guesses. Owners set a time once and leave it, or they have a controller with every zone set to the same minutes. Yet a sunny slope, a shaded bed and a flat lawn with clay soil each need a different amount of water, applied in a different way. Poor schedules cause both dry grass and wet feet, and they quietly waste water through the whole season.

We program each zone for what it serves: the head type and its precipitation rate, the plant type, soil, slope and sun exposure. We set start times, run times and watering days, add cycle and soak for slopes and clay and plan seasonal adjustments for spring, summer and fall. You get a clear sheet showing each zone and its settings, and we teach you how to make simple seasonal adjustments or to rely on a smart controller if you have one.

Built zone by zone

Run times reflect head type, plants, soil, slope and sun, not a one-size-fits-all setting.

Cycle and soak

Short cycles with soak time in between put water into clay and slopes instead of the street.

Seasonal plan

We set a spring, summer and fall plan so adjustments are simple and the lawn gets what it needs.

Written settings

You receive a clear sheet of settings and a quick lesson on adjusting them.

How it works

Our process, start to finish.

  1. 01

    Call and schedule

    You tell us about your yard and what you want, a new system, a repair or a tune-up, and we set a visit that fits your day.

  2. 02

    Visit and inspect

    We walk the property, find the water source and valves, test pressure and flow, look at every head and zone and take photos of anything of note.

  3. 03

    Design and explain

    We explain your options for zones, heads, drip, controllers and savings, sketch the layout and give you a written scope with clear timing and pricing.

  4. 04

    Prepare the site

    We arrange for underground utilities to be located, protect the lawn, driveways and beds and mark every head, valve and pipe run before we dig.

  5. 05

    Install or repair

    We install or repair pipe, valves, heads and wiring with the right parts for each zone, flush the lines and keep the site tidy as we work.

  6. 06

    Start up and care

    We program the controller, test every zone with you, walk through watering and winterizing in plain steps and set a reminder for your next check.

Questions

Scheduling and Programming FAQ

How long should I run my sprinklers?

It depends on head type, soil, plants and season. Our watering calculator gives a starting point and we fine-tune on site.

How many days a week should I water?

Deep watering a few days a week usually beats daily watering for established lawns.

What is the best time of day to water?

Early morning, before sunrise, tends to lose the least water and helps the lawn dry during the day.

Should my schedule change with the seasons?

Yes. Plants need far more water in summer than in spring and fall, so run times should follow.

Can you set up my controller if I already have one?

Yes. We can program any common controller and leave you with written settings.
