Spring startup checklist

During a spring sprinkler startup repair, Dallas Landscape & Irrigation checks the system after winter downtime to make sure it is ready for the season. A proper startup focuses on restoring normal operation, catching damage early, and fine-tuning watering coverage.

  • Turn the main water supply back on slowly
  • Inspect for cracked pipes, leaks, and loose fittings
  • Test each zone and confirm valves open and close correctly
  • Check sprinkler heads for breakage, clogs, and incorrect spray patterns
  • Verify pressure, coverage, and head alignment
  • Review the controller settings and watering schedule
  • Look for signs of winter damage in wiring or backflow components

Why it matters: even small issues can waste water, leave dry spots, or cause bigger repairs later in the season. A startup inspection helps your irrigation system run efficiently from the beginning.
