Keep Your System Running Without Waste

Seasonal irrigation maintenance and repairs for residential and commercial properties in Grand Rapids

Your irrigation system controls how much water your landscape receives, and small issues like faulty heads, incorrect timing, or low pressure can leave dry patches, overwatered zones, or wasted water running down the driveway. In Grand Rapids, where rainfall varies widely from spring through fall, a well-maintained system adjusts to changing weather and supports plant health without constant manual intervention. Alfresco Landscapes provides seasonal irrigation checks, adjustments, repairs, and performance optimization to ensure proper coverage, pressure, timing, and zoning across your property. You'll notice uniform moisture levels, reduced water bills, and plants that stay healthy without manual watering.

The service includes spring startups to check for winter damage and adjust run times for new growth, mid-season audits to catch leaks and recalibrate zones, and full winterization services to prevent freeze damage. Repairs address broken heads, clogged nozzles, valve malfunctions, and controller glitches, while upgrades can include smart controllers that adjust watering based on weather forecasts or lake-pump system adjustments for waterfront homes with alternative water sources. Each visit ensures your system delivers water where it's needed, at the right time, without oversaturating turf or leaving beds too dry.

Request an irrigation inspection to identify issues before they affect your landscape or inflate your water costs.

What's Included in This Service

When you schedule irrigation maintenance in Grand Rapids, the process begins with a zone-by-zone walkthrough to observe coverage patterns, measure pressure, and check for visible leaks or overspray. Controllers are reviewed to confirm run times match current plant needs and weather conditions, and any zones that overlap or leave gaps are flagged for adjustment. Spring startups include turning on the system, checking for cracked pipes or broken heads, and reprogramming schedules for the growing season.

After repairs and adjustments are made, you'll see even moisture distribution across turf and beds, no water running onto hardscapes, and plants that recover faster from heat stress. Alfresco Landscapes integrates irrigation maintenance into full-service landscape programs, so watering schedules align with fertilization, mowing, and chemical treatments for consistent results. Mid-season audits catch issues that develop during heavy use, and winterization services blow out lines to prevent freeze damage that can lead to costly spring repairs.

Why Locals Choose This Option

What does a seasonal irrigation check include?
It includes a zone-by-zone walkthrough to observe coverage, pressure, and timing, plus repairs for broken heads, leaks, or controller issues. Spring startups and fall winterization are scheduled separately based on weather.
How often should irrigation systems be inspected?
Systems are typically checked at startup, mid-season, and before winterization. Additional inspections are scheduled if you notice dry patches, soggy areas, or unexpected spikes in your water bill.
What causes zones to stop working or spray unevenly?
Common causes include clogged nozzles, broken heads, valve malfunctions, or pressure drops from leaks. Zones can also underperform if run times haven't been adjusted for seasonal changes or new plantings.

Why do waterfront properties need lake-pump adjustments?

Lake-pump systems draw water directly from the lake and can experience intake clogs, pressure drops, or filtration issues that affect coverage. Regular checks ensure the pump delivers consistent flow and doesn't damage the system with sediment.
When should I request an irrigation inspection?
Inspections are most useful in early spring before the system is turned on, or anytime you notice dry patches, overspray, or zones that won't activate. Mid-season audits help catch issues that develop during heavy use.

Maintaining your irrigation system in Grand Rapids means catching small issues before they turn into costly repairs or landscape damage, and proactive care ensures your system delivers water efficiently all season.
