Professional Irrigation Maintenance: How Linehan Landscaping Keeps Your System Running Smoothly

A healthy, green landscape starts with a well-maintained irrigation system. Whether you rely on sprinklers, drip irrigation, or soaker hoses, proper maintenance ensures your lawn and garden get the right amount of water without waste or damage. At Linehan Landscaping, we specialize in irrigation system care—handling inspections, repairs, seasonal adjustments, and winterization to keep your system efficient and trouble-free.

Rather than struggling with leaks, clogs, or misaligned sprinklers, let our experts handle the details. Here’s how our professional irrigation maintenance services ensure your system stays in peak condition year-round.

Why Trust Us for Your Irrigation Maintenance?

Many homeowners set their irrigation system and forget about it, assuming it will work properly year after year. Unfortunately, without routine maintenance, irrigation issues can quickly escalate, leading to:

• Wasted water due to leaks or inefficient coverage.
• Overwatering or underwatering that harms plants and grass.
• Higher water bills caused by undetected system problems.
• Costly repairs from frozen pipes or system neglect.

At Linehan Landscaping, we take a preventative approach to irrigation system maintenance—catching small issues before they become expensive problems. Our team ensures your system runs efficiently, saving water while keeping your landscape lush and healthy.

Spring Irrigation Maintenance: System Start-Up & Inspection

As winter fades, it’s essential to inspect and prepare your irrigation system for the growing season. Our spring start-up service ensures your sprinklers and drip lines are functioning correctly after months of inactivity.

Here’s how we get your system ready for spring:

1. Thorough System Inspection
   • Check for winter damage to pipes, valves, and sprinkler heads.
   • Identify any leaks, cracks, or misaligned nozzles that could cause inefficiencies.
2. Sprinkler Head Cleaning & Adjustments
   • Unclog debris-filled nozzles that could block water flow.
   • Adjust sprinklers to prevent overspray on sidewalks and driveways.
3. Water Pressure Testing
   • Ensure your system operates at the optimal pressure (30-50 PSI) to prevent misting or water waste.
4. Coverage Check
   • Run a test cycle to make sure all areas receive even water distribution.
5. Controller & Timer Adjustments
   • Set seasonally appropriate watering schedules based on weather conditions.
   • Update or install smart irrigation controllers for automatic efficiency.

After our spring maintenance, your irrigation system will be primed for a season of healthy, consistent watering.

Summer Irrigation Maintenance: Efficiency & Leak Detection

During the hottest months, your irrigation system works harder than ever. If not properly maintained, leaks, clogs, or poor coverage can result in stressed plants and higher water bills. Our mid-season check-up ensures your system is performing at its best.

What We Do in Summer:

• Inspect for Leaks & Water Waste
  • Check hoses, valves, and underground pipes for hidden leaks.
  • Repair any damaged drip lines or sprinkler heads to prevent excessive runoff.
• Adjust Watering Schedules
  • Set irrigation timers for deeper, less frequent watering to promote strong roots.
  • Fine-tune run times based on temperature and rainfall.
• Mulching & Soil Moisture Management
  • Add mulch around plants to retain moisture and reduce evaporation.
  • Provide drought-resistant watering strategies to conserve water.
• System Upgrades & Repairs
  • Upgrade old sprinklers to water-saving models.
  • Install rain sensors or smart controllers to adjust watering automatically based on weather conditions.

With our summer maintenance services, we make sure your irrigation system stays efficient, minimizing water waste while keeping your landscape healthy.

Fall Irrigation Maintenance: Preparing for Cold Weather

As temperatures drop, it’s time to gradually reduce watering and prepare for winterization. At Linehan Landscaping, we take care of your fall irrigation shut-down, ensuring your system is protected from freezing damage.

How We Prepare Your System for Winter:

1. Reduce Watering Gradually
   • Adjust schedules to prevent overwatering as plant growth slows.
2. Inspect for Repairs
   • Identify any leaks, cracks, or worn parts that should be fixed before winter.
3. System Draining & Blowout Service
   • Shut off the water supply to prevent freezing inside pipes.
   • Use a commercial-grade air compressor to blow out excess water from sprinkler lines.
   • Drain and store removable drip irrigation components to extend their lifespan.
4. Insulation for Pipes & Valves
   • Wrap exposed pipes and backflow preventers to prevent freezing.

By winterizing your irrigation system, we help you avoid costly repairs in the spring.

Winter Irrigation Care: Preventing Freeze Damage

While your irrigation system is inactive, winter maintenance ensures it stays in top condition for the next growing season. Our team monitors for potential ice damage and insulates exposed components to protect against extreme cold.

Winter Services Include:

• Checking for Ice Damage on underground pipes and sprinkler heads.
• Insulating above-ground pipes with protective coverings.
• Storing detachable components to prevent breakage.

Even though your irrigation system isn’t in use, proper winter care prevents springtime surprises like cracked pipes and malfunctioning valves.
