THE TIME IS NOW! At the beginning of every spring, your garden irrigation and lawn sprinkler system must be properly opened and set up for the coming season. Of course the BEST time for a spring start up is weather related and varies year to year, but anytime from the end of March right through May can be the best time to have your lawn and garden irrigation system activated. We know you want your backyard, patios, gardens, and terraces ready for those fun summer day and nights, so the Pacific Team is here to help! The average spring start up or sprinkler system opening price is $80, depending on the size of the system. However we often run promotions for new clients, so be sure to check out our local promotions page! The long winter, freezing temperatures and snow can be extremely harsh on your lawn sprinkler system’s components. A systematic and professional spring start up process for your sprinkler system must be performed to ensure the irrigation system is in top working order. A common misconception is that a sprinkler system turn on is “just turning on the valve”. On the contrary, Pacific Lawn Sprinklers has detailed, proven irrigation solutions to ensure your sprinkler system is operating at its best.
