Preparing Irrigation Systems for Spring

Spring cleaning is upon us, Nashvillians! Get on that to-do list before it’s too late. Dusting, organizing and deep-cleaning are all part of the job, but what about lawn care or landscape? Just like the inside of your home or office, the outside needs a good thorough pick-me-up for the new season. Whether you’re preparing trees for storms, or clearing out flower beds, your landscape thanks you. But what are you forgetting? One of the biggest things to address early spring is your irrigation system. After a unbearably cold winter in Middle Tennessee, checking your irrigation system is just as important as the growing season begins.

If you have an irrigation system on your property, you know how it works. In the winter before it freezes, the system is shut down. In addition, the pipes are pressurized to drain all remaining water to prevent freezing and cracking. Now, it’s time get those pipes moving again. The systems need to be charged (or adding water under pressure) to get them back in working order. Many systems can be turned on automatically to get a head’s start on the growing season. In addition, checking your irrigation system early is important to assess any necessary repairs.

Unfortunately, the weather was not Nashville’s friend this season. Charging your irrigation systems early is important to ensure they’re ready for warmer months. By charging the systems, any hidden damage could easily be spotted and repaired in plenty of time.
