Frustrated owners continue to call us to see what we can do to make their sprinkler systems work. It never fails that when we get a dry hot summer with very little or no rain that all the inadequacies of a poor design & installation become very apparent as dry lawn and shrubs. There are several mistakes made by inexperienced or handyman sprinkler companies and these include:

1. The sprinkler system is designed without knowing the working water pressure and volume.

2. Too many sprinkler heads on each zone.

3. Poor sprinkler head spacing. Usually too far apart.

It is a great time with the start of anew school year, the football season, baseball playoffs, Halloween, and Thanksgiving. It is also the end of summer, heat, humidity, and time to begin to think about winterizing your sprinkler system.

If you haven't already, I ask that you either renew your service agreement or purchase one for the upcoming year. Owning a service agreement is a convenient way to pre-pay your winterizing and summarizing appointments. You receive free service calls (a $70 value) and 10% off all repairs. Rain Rich takes care of winterizing your sprinkler system at the correct time and starting up your sprinklers in the spring..
