Start Up
 During April and May, we recommend our spring start-up service to get your sprinkler system up and running for the season. Winter ground heaving, heavy snowfall and snow removal can all take a toll on adjustments and function of your sprinkler heads. Our Spring Start-up service inspects for all the issues winter leaves behind. As well, from year to year your landscape changes, shrubs and trees grow and sometimes landscape is redesigned and changes. At the time of Spring Start-up, we review the design of your current irrigation system in order to recommend changes or enhancements that will ensure your irrigation system meet the needs of all of your lawn and plants in the most efficient manner. From a simple head change, to the addition of entire zones, our technicians will work with you to optimize turf and plant coverage.
We will check all the components to ensure your system is fully functional for the watering season. This service includes:
- Turn water on to the sprinkler system and inspect sprinkler plumbing.
- Where applicable, install filter.
- Activate the controller, set watering schedule and test all valves in the system. Install
battery. (Battery sold separately)
- Inspect and adjust the system for proper coverage.
- Check for system leaks.
- Check function of all heads and nozzles.
- When time permits, make system repairs up to $100.00.
- Provide information and quote for all repairs needed exceeding $100.00
 Scheduling your spring start-up depends on the weather conditions and your individual watering needs. Contact McKenzie Landscaping, LLC early to schedule this service.

Winterization
 In the Northwest, we experience freezing temperatures as early as October. Consequently, your irrigation system must be properly winterized to safeguard against freeze damage. Our winterization service includes:
- Turn water off to the sprinkler system and drain backflow system (if necessary)
- Where applicable, remove and/or drain pump, suction line, check valve and filter
- Deactivate controller and valves
- Clear all lines of water with compressed air, and, if applicable, open all manual drains and faucets
Because the timing of the arrival of freezing weather varies from season to season, we recommend winterization between October 10th and November 20th each year.
