After a long, wet winter, spring in Seattle brings sunshine, longer days, and waking plants \u2014 which means it\u2019s time to turn your irrigation system back on. But don\u2019t rush it. Starting things up the wrong way can lead to broken heads, cracked pipes, and wasted water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Seattle area, most homeowners should plan to start their systems between <strong>late March and early May<\/strong>, depending on how wet the ground is and how warm the nights are. Here&#8217;s a straightforward guide to help you start up your irrigation system the right way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step-by-Step: Spring Irrigation Start-Up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Inspect the System Before Turning It On<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Walk your property and visually inspect your irrigation components:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Look for broken or cracked sprinkler heads<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check for exposed or damaged pipes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure all valve boxes and backflow preventers are intact<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If anything looks questionable, fix it before pressurizing the lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Slowly Turn the Water Back On<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Never open the main water valve all at once. A sudden rush of water can damage the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Find the main irrigation shut-off valve<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open it slowly, allowing the pipes to gradually fill with water<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Listen for odd sounds \u2014 hissing, gurgling, or banging could mean a problem<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you notice any leaks, shut the valve off and inspect the affected area before continuing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Test Each Zone Individually<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Turn on one irrigation zone at a time and observe:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Are all the heads spraying evenly?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are any zones not turning on at all?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are there low-pressure spots or obvious leaks?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is your chance to clean or replace clogged nozzles, fix tilted heads, and make sure everything\u2019s running efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Reprogram the Controller<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s common for irrigation controllers to lose power during winter. Be sure to reset the time and check each program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Set watering times for early morning to reduce evaporation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Start with shorter run times and adjust as temperatures rise<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure rain skip features are enabled if available<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re using a smart controller, connect it to Wi-Fi and update weather settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lees-general-landscaping.b-cdn.net\/work-images\/lees_general_landscaping_20250610_101708.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Seattle Spring is here!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Clean Nozzles and Filters<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Winter can cause dirt, moss, and bugs to clog your system. Clean the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pop-up spray nozzles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drip irrigation filters and emitters<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inline screens, if your system uses them<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A clean system runs smoother, wastes less water, and reduces wear on parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Check the Backflow Preventer<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Seattle irrigation systems must have a backflow device to protect drinking water. Inspect for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Freezing or cracking damage from winter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Missing test tags (you may need to schedule annual testing if required)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proper valve positioning<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If anything looks off or you\u2019re unsure, call a professional \u2014 backflow devices are critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Should I Start Up My Irrigation System in Seattle?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Every property is different, but here\u2019s a general guideline:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Late March to mid-April for dry or sunny properties<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Late April to early May for shady, low-lying, or wetter yards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wait until nighttime temperatures are consistently above 40\u00b0F<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t rely on the calendar alone \u2014 walk your yard and check soil conditions before flipping the switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Need a Hand?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019d rather not worry about any of this, we offer <strong>Spring Irrigation Start-Up Services<\/strong> that include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Full system inspection<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Slow, controlled system pressurizing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Head cleaning, adjustments, and repairs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Controller reprogramming for spring watering<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Backflow inspection and recommendations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Let us handle the details so your system is ready for the season ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for trusting us with your yard.
