With spring just around the corner in New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut, it's time to start thinking about your irrigation system. After all, you want to ensure it's in good working order for the new growing season! To do this, you should first bring it back online, adjust the sprinkler heads, and program the controller. You'll also want to hire professionals to inspect your entire system. That way, they can catch any issues early on and make the necessary repairs before the weather gets too hot. You also don't want to forget about investing in a Wi-Fi controller if you haven't already, as it allows you to control your irrigation system from your phone, plus makes watering your lawn and landscape more efficient. By following these tips, you can put the spring back into your lawn by ensuring it stays properly hydrated throughout the growing season!

Bring your irrigation system back online in the spring.

The first thing you'll want to do once spring arrives is get your irrigation system back online. During the winter, your system is shut down to protect it from freeze damage, so you'll want to ensure it's up and running again so your vegetation receives the water it needs for the start of the new growing season. Spring startups will involve turning on the main water supply, adjusting the sprinkler heads, and programming the irrigation controller. By doing these things, your irrigation system will provide adequate coverage and meet the watering requirements of each zone on your property.

Have a Professional Check Over Your Entire Irrigation System in the Spring

Another important tip for the spring is to have a professional inspect your entire irrigation system. This thorough inspection is crucial because it helps them identify any problems with your irrigation system, whether a broken sprinkler head, faulty valve, or something else. Then, they'll perform the necessary repairs to get it functioning at 100%. That way, you address any issues before the weather gets too hot, and your lawn is at its peak need for optimal water coverage.

Invest in a Wi-Fi Controller for Your Irrigation System

If you haven't invested in a Wi-Fi controller for your irrigation system yet, there's no better time to do so than the spring! A Wi-Fi controller allows you to control your system from your smartphone. With this convenience at your fingertips, you can easily adjust watering schedules and monitor usage. Additionally, many Wi-Fi controllers come equipped with smart features like weather-based scheduling, which automatically adjusts watering times based on local weather conditions. This feature ensures your lawn receives just the right amount of water without wasting resources or money.
