Detailed reporting per visit
Every startup, audit, and blowout produces a written report: zones tested, heads replaced, pressure readings, controller settings, weather conditions.

Hunter, Rain Bird, Toro, Hydrawise, Rachio. Weather-based smart scheduling reduces water use 20–40% vs. fixed-time programs.

Pressurize each zone, replace damaged heads, program controller for the season. Submit certified backflow test to your utility.
June (full ramp)
First full month of operation. We monitor any reports of dry zones, schedule any first-month adjustments.
July–August (mid-season audit)
Walk every zone for efficiency, drift, broken heads. Catch problems before they show up on the water bill.
September (pre-blowout walkthrough)
Confirm contract scope, identify any zones needing extra attention before winter.
October–November (winterization)
Commercial-grade air blowout zone by zone. Controller shutdown. Frost-proof until spring.
