Lawn Sprinkler Repair
Our technicians address all sprinkler system issues including broken water lines, malfunctioning zone controllers, and irregular water distribution. We provide same-day repairs with guaranteed results, using commercial-grade replacement parts. Our owner-led approach ensures direct oversight for complex repairs requiring system redesign or component replacement.
Sprinkler System Installation
We design and install customized irrigation systems using Hunter Industries' premium products. Our process includes site analysis for terrain and soil composition, strategic head placement, and smart controller programming. Commercial crews complete full residential installations in one day with minimal landscape disruption.
Winterizing Services
Our professional winterization service uses commercial air compressors to remove all water from irrigation systems. We calibrate pressure settings to prevent freeze damage, tag main valves for identification, and place controllers in suspend mode. This seasonal maintenance prevents costly pipe bursts during New Jersey's winter months.
Summer System Tune-Ups
Mid-season inspections optimize sprinkler performance during peak temperatures. We check water pressure, recalibrate sensors, adjust coverage patterns, and optimize timer settings. Our technicians identify potential issues with valves, backflow preventers, and zone controllers to maintain efficient operation through summer heatwaves.
Landscape Lighting
We design custom lighting systems that enhance property aesthetics while improving nighttime safety. Our installations use energy-efficient LED fixtures for up-lighting trees, accentuating architectural features, and illuminating pathways. The systems integrate with existing irrigation controls for coordinated automation and seasonal adjustments.
