The short answer

A spring startup should restore the water supply carefully, check operation zone by zone, look for leaks or winter damage, and review the watering schedule. Start when conditions are appropriate, not just because the calendar says spring.

Before the visit

Make the controller and irrigation shutoff accessible. Let us know about pets, locked gates, new landscaping, and any problems from last season. If you have service notes, keep them handy.

During the system check

Each zone should be observed while running. Heads can become buried, tilted, or blocked by plants. Note wet patches, overspray, unusual pressure, and areas that receive little water. Needed repairs should be explained and priced separately.

After opening

Review the schedule and confirm current local watering requirements. Make sure you know how to pause the system during rain and where to find the irrigation shutoff if a problem develops.
