Irrigation Startup

We offer irrigation startup services for properties in Buckhead, Brookhaven, Sandy Springs, Chastain Park & surrounding Atlanta neighborhoods.

We safely bring your irrigation system back online in the spring so your lawn and landscape receive the water they need.

After your irrigation system has been shut down for the winter, it needs to be restarted properly before the growing season begins. Turning the system back on without checking components or pressurizing it correctly can lead to leaks, broken sprinkler heads, or other issues.

At Hedges & Edges Landscaping, we provide irrigation startup services to safely bring your system back online. During this service, we carefully restore water to the system, inspect the components, and make sure everything is working correctly so your lawn and landscape can receive consistent watering throughout the growing season. Irrigation startups typically involve turning the water supply back on, checking system components, and programming watering schedules.

When Do We Offer Our Irrigation Startup Service?

Irrigation systems should be restarted once the threat of freezing temperatures has passed and plants begin entering the growing season.

In the Atlanta area, irrigation startups are typically performed in early spring, when temperatures begin warming consistently. Restarting your system at the right time ensures your lawn and landscape begin receiving water as growth resumes while avoiding the risk of frost damage from starting the system too early.

Our Irrigation Startup Process

When performing an irrigation startup, our team follows a careful process to ensure your system is operating safely and efficiently.

Our irrigation startup service typically includes:

• Turning the irrigation control system back on
• Slowly restoring water to the main line
• Inspecting sprinkler heads and irrigation zones
• Checking valves and system pressure
• Programming watering schedules for the season

By inspecting the system during startup, we can identify any issues early so they can be repaired before they affect your lawn and landscape.

We Can Repair Any Problems We Find During Startup

Sometimes irrigation systems develop problems during the winter months. If we notice any issues while bringing your system back online, we can provide recommendations and make the necessary repairs.

Common problems may include:

• Broken or clogged sprinkler heads
• Leaking irrigation lines
• Malfunctioning valves or timers

Addressing these issues early helps ensure your irrigation system operates efficiently throughout the growing season.
