Most water waste is small and fixable
A head knocked crooked by a mower. A nozzle clogged with grit. A valve that weeps all night. A schedule set in August and never touched again. None of it is dramatic, and together it is why one part of a lawn is brown while the gutter runs.
A seasonal tune-up catches these in one visit. We run every zone, straighten and clean the heads, fix coverage, and reset the schedule. It costs $125 for a system of up to 8 zones. Spring and fall are the times to do it.
Watering rules
Watering days and hours are set by your water district and they change with supply. We set controllers to match the rules that apply at your address, and to water in the early morning, when less is lost to wind and sun.
Questions
Sprinklers and irrigation: what people ask.
How much does sprinkler repair cost in Fallbrook, CA?
A Lawn Casa service call in Fallbrook is $95, which covers the trip, the diagnosis and the first 30 minutes of work. After that, labor is $85 an hour. Replacing a standard spray head is $20, a rotor is $35, and a valve is $145, parts included.
How often should sprinklers be checked?
Twice a year is enough for most systems: in spring before the heat, and in fall when watering should be turned down. Systems on a Lawn Casa yard care plan are run and checked once a month as part of the plan.
Is a smart controller worth it?
Usually. A weather-based controller skips watering when it rains and adjusts as the season changes, which is where most overwatering comes from. Installation is $175 plus the controller, which you pay for at our cost.
Should I switch my beds to drip?
For shrubs, perennials and vegetable beds, yes. Drip puts water at the roots instead of on leaves, walls and paths. Converting a spray zone to drip starts at $375 per zone.
