Sprinkler Head Adjustment and Realignment

Tilted, misaimed and mis-set sprinkler heads adjusted for arc, radius and height so water lands on the lawn and nowhere else.

Heads drift out of adjustment. Frost heave tilts them, mowers bump them, soil settles and grass grows over them. A head that was set perfectly may now spray the street, soak the siding or shoot over a lawn and leave a dry gap behind it. These are simple problems with big effects on both the lawn and the water bill.

We run each zone and walk it head by head. We straighten tilted heads and raise or lower them to the right height so they pop up cleanly and clear the turf. We adjust arc so spray stops at the lawn edge, adjust radius so it reaches the next head without overshooting and reduce throw where water lands on pavement. We also trim around heads, replace worn nozzles and note any heads that are in the wrong place and might be moved for better coverage.

Straight and at grade

Heads are straightened and set to the proper height so they pop up cleanly and clear the grass.

Arc set to the edge

Spray stops at the edge of the lawn, with no water on pavement, siding or fences.

Radius tuned

Throw reaches the next head without overshooting, so coverage is even.

Notes on problem spots

We point out heads that are in the wrong place and show options to move 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

Head Adjustment FAQ

Why is my sprinkler spraying the street?

The arc or radius is probably set too wide, or the head has tilted. Adjusting it brings spray back on the lawn.

Can I adjust heads myself?

Many heads have a simple adjustment, but a walk with someone who knows the system makes it faster and more accurate.

Why are there dry spots between heads?

Heads may be tilted or set too low, or radius is too short. Adjustment often fixes it.

How often should heads be adjusted?

Once a year is common, and after mowing damage, settling or landscape changes.

Will adjusting save water?

Yes. Keeping spray on the lawn cuts waste and helps the grass get what it needs.
