The Parke Company landscape irrigation repair in Nashville

Many residential and business owners in Nashville already know how much their landscaping can benefit from installing automated irrigation systems. Yet despite the convenience of these systems, they occasionally require maintenance to improve their performance, minimize water waste, and prevent damage to the landscape.

The first step in maintaining your irrigation system is making sure you can recognize address what is causing problems. For example, it is important to figure out if dry areas in your grass are the result of improper timing or if you need to investigate further. In this case, you will want to check for problems such as obstructions in your sprinklers, leaks in valves, or even cracks in the irrigation system’s pipes. Regular inspections can guide you toward specific solutions for routine problems like low water pressure or wasted water.

A common problem for people who mow their own lawns is damage to their sprinkler heads. Fortunately, these are easy to repair and replace. Simply unscrew the sprinkler head, mark the area with a flag, and take the damaged sprinkler head with you to a hardware store to compare it with a replacement head.

Sprinkler heads can also develop leaks, whether due to damage by lawnmowers or cars, or by regular wear over time. If the leak is only in the rotor (and not in the spray), you may be able to replace the seal inside without having to replace the entire sprinkler. If the leak is at the base of the sprinkler, be sure to outfit the replacement with a flexible connection kit so that this type of leak is less likely to occur in the future.

The landscaping experts at the Parke Company specialize in keeping your automatic irrigation system in top shape. Whether you’re in Brentwood or Hendersonville, feel free to contact us today at 615-350-6033 to schedule for a certified landscape irrigation professional to visit your home today.

Tips for Irrigation System Winterization and Spring Start Up Care

September 30, 2026April 19, 2023 by The Parke Company

When it comes to maintaining your irrigation and landscaping, it’s important to provide both winterization and spring start up care for your irrigation system. Even though your irrigation contractor can help maintain your system through all types of Nashville weather, there are a few simple things you can do to keep your irrigation and landscaping in top shape. Here’s how you can provide winterization care and spring start up maintenance for your landscape irrigation system:

Winterization Tips for Your Irrigation System

Turn off the main water valve. It’s important to make sure your water source is completely turned off before the weather changes.
Get the water out. Before cold temperatures hit, make sure there is no water left in your landscape irrigation system. After you turn off the main water valve, shoot compressed air through the system to remove all remaining water from the pipes.
Protect your system controller. If your irrigation system has automatic settings, be sure to turn the entire system off, or change it to the “rain” setting.
Consider hiring an irrigation contractor. Your irrigation contractor can perform high-level maintenance on your system to prevent damage from harsh winter weather.

Spring Start Up Tips for Your Irrigation System

Check the valves. Winter can be hard on irrigation and landscaping. Check the seals on each valve for leaks before you turn the water on.
Flush out the system. Before you run your landscape irrigation system, flush it out to remove any debris that has collected during the winter months.
Test the controller. Make sure that your automatic controls still work properly at each station. If your controller has a back-up battery, replace it with a fresh one.

You can perform simple winterization and spring start up maintenance on your irrigation system. However, if you’re looking for high-level maintenance and repairs, it’s best to call an irrigation contractor for professional help.
