Full Irrigation System Upgrade - New Sprinklers, Backflow and Valves

Old sprinkler heads don't just look rough - they fail quietly. Coverage drops off. Dry patches show up. Water pressure feels off but you can't quite figure out why. That's usually the moment people realize the system they've been running for years is working against them, not for them.

This one was a full gut-and-rebuild. We pulled out a pile of old, worn-out sprinkler heads - corroded, caked with dirt, and well past their useful life. That kind of buildup doesn't happen overnight. These heads had clearly been in the ground for a long time, and replacing them one at a time would have just been putting bandages on a bigger problem. So we went down to the source.

We excavated the manifold area next to the house and got to work on the heart of the system. A new backflow preventer went in - that's the brass assembly you can see mounted cleanly to the line coming off the house. This isn't just a convenience upgrade. Backflow preventers protect your home's drinking water from irrigation water mixing back into the supply. It's a code requirement in most areas, and a critical piece of any properly built system. From there, we rebuilt the valve manifold from scratch - new solenoid valves, new wiring, clean connections throughout.

The new valve boxes got set and covered with solid green lids, keeping everything accessible for future maintenance and winterization blowouts without having to dig anything up again. That kind of forward-thinking setup matters. When it's time to blow out the sprinklers each fall, or troubleshoot a zone that's acting up, you want everything neat, labeled, and easy to get to. We built this one to last and to be serviced properly.

An irrigation system is only as good as its weakest component. When the heads, valves, backflow, and manifold are all working together - sized right and installed correctly - your yard gets what it needs without waste, without guesswork, and without you babysitting it all summer.
