When you are trying to get your sprinkler system up and running for the spring you will notice it can be more of a challenge than what you think. That is because you have so many different steps that you have to take.

This is when you should know more about the different tips that you can have for the spring startup of the sprinkler system to be a success that you want it to be and know that it is going to work for you all season long. Since that is the case, here are some of the main things that you need to have checked when you are getting ready to use your sprinkler system.

Turning on the water supply to the sprinkler system is one of the main things that you are going to need to get done. This is going to allow you to get the water that you need in the lines, but also know the water is going to be remaining in the supply lines and none of them broke or split over the winter months when you were not using the system.

Usually, you will want to have your sprinkler service company do this job and in most cases, like The Giving Tree, you will notice they will send out a letter to let you know they are coming out and when so you can be ready.

During the water turn on phase it would be the time that you will want to make sure you are telling the contractor who is coming out to turn the sprinklers on about any changes you would like to have made to the system. This way you are able to get the sprinklers running like you want to have them running and know more about the areas that you need to target versus the areas that do not need to have as much water going into them.

When you are getting the water turned on you will notice that the company has a tendency to check all the backflow devices. This should make it easier for you to know the sprinklers are going to work for your needs, but also going to allow you to know about any of the leaks you may have in your system. So this will make it easier for you to have a great system that is not going to leak or have any issues that you would normally not notice.

A preseason walk through is something else that you are going to get done with the spring check up. This is going to go through the yard and look at all the different sprinkler heads. This will help to make sure the heads are installed properly and not leaking. At the same time, it will allow for any of the damaged sprinkler heads to be replaced or repaired if you need to have this done.

Something else that you will find happening during the walk through is the fact that the adjustments can be made to the sprinklers. This way you are able to get the maximum amount of coverage, but also avoid some of the problems of the spring plants not getting enough water from where your mid-season adjustment had to change the location or direction of the sprinklers because of the fact the flowers grew over them and required them to be adjusted.

Debris removal is something else that you are going to notice that can happen in the spring walk around. This will get rid of the sticks, limbs, and even the dirt that may have shifted to cover up the sprinkler heads over the winter months.

Finally, you will notice the spring startup will allow you to have adjustments made to your controller. This way you are going to have the water flowing properly and know the water is going to allow you to have a great looking lawn because the system has been adjusted to the levels that you need to have it in certain areas of the home. So this will definitely be a major plus as it makes it easier for you to have a great item that you can work with.

Being able to get a great looking lawn starts in spring and with the care that you give to the lawn early on. This is when you should know some tips that will help you out with a spring start up plan for the sprinklers and how this will allow you to get a jumpstart on getting a great looking lawn.

Without this, you may think the spring checkup is something that you do not need to have and end up disappointed when you are not getting the right amount of water flowing around your yard to the sprinkler heads that are around the yard.
