It may be difficult to think about the upcoming spring season for many of us in the U.S. who are currently clearing up snow from a giant blizzard, but the warmer months aren’t too far away. The best way to be prepared for them is to start planning now. Have your yearly maintenances scheduled, plan for landscapers or a mowing service, and get your sprinkler system in working order.
Here are some tips to get your sprinkler system ready for spring.
While now might not be the best time to walk around your yard and check for any visible breaks or issues with your sprinkler system, once the snow has melted and temps warm up, be sure to head out and take stock of any damage caused during the winter season’s freezing temps. Broken pipes and sprinkler heads are common after these harsh conditions and could prevent your sprinkler from turning on when it’s time. Other issues such as leaks and low pressure can also be identified by running a system check. Be sure to perform these maintenance checks in advance of turning your sprinklers on to avoid any downtime.
If you discover there are issues that need fixing in your sprinkler system, you’ll need to order new parts and wait for them to arrive. Giving yourself enough time to do this is the best way to get your sprinklers running just in time for the start of the spring season when your grass will be in desperate need of water and nutrients so it can grow green and tall.
