Weak spray, short throw and misting heads traced to the true cause, whether it is the supply, a partly closed valve, a clog or a design problem.
Sprinklers need the right pressure to work. Too low and rotors do not turn, sprays barely reach and coverage drops. Too high and heads mist into the air and waste water. People notice weak or misting sprays and assume the heads are bad, but the cause is often somewhere else: a valve that is not fully open, a clogged filter, a crushed pipe, a main line leak, an old galvanized supply or a zone that has too many heads for the available flow.
We diagnose pressure with a gauge at the supply and at the zone, compare it with what each head needs and check each possible restriction in turn. We open valves, clean screens and filters and look for leaks and crimps. If the supply itself is weak, we explain the options, from reducing heads per zone to adding a booster pump. If pressure is too high, a pressure regulator brings it down to where heads work efficiently and last longer.
A gauge at the supply and at the zone shows whether the problem is the source or the system.
Valves, filters, backflow devices and pipes can each hold back flow, and we check them in order.
Regulators tame high pressure and design changes or pumps help when supply is low.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Causes include a partly closed valve, a clogged filter, a leak, too many heads on a zone or weak supply. We test to find which.
Pressure is probably too high. A regulator or pressure-regulating heads bring it down so water falls as drops, not mist.
If supply is weak, a pump can help. We confirm the cause first, because a pump will not fix a clog or a leak.
It should not, since zones run one at a time, but each zone must stay within your available flow.
Sometimes. We measure at your connection and tell you what we find.
