Winterize before the hard freeze
Flagstaff routinely drops well below freezing from October on. Water left in lines, valves and backflow preventers freezes, expands and cracks them, and you find out in May. A compressed air blowout clears every zone so the system survives winter. Book it as soon as overnight lows start dipping into the 20s.
Repairs
- Leaking valves, broken heads and cracked lines
- Drip line repairs and emitter replacement
- Zones that will not turn on or will not shut off
- Timer replacement and programming, including smart timers
- Low pressure and coverage problems
Winter watering
Our winters are dry and windy between storms. Evergreens and newly planted trees can dry out and brown even while the ground is cold. A deep watering visit once or twice a month on warmer days keeps roots alive until spring.
Diagnosing browning trees
Browning is usually water, soil or root problems, not a reason to replace the plant. We check irrigation, soil moisture and branches before recommending anything.
