Sprinkler Systems in San Mateo, CA

San Mateo runs warmer and sunnier than the foggy cities closer to the coast, and that changes what a sprinkler system needs to do. A schedule set once and forgotten either leaves dry patches where the sun hits hardest or wastes water running longer than the yard needs, and in a city where the sun does most of the work on a lawn, getting that schedule wrong shows up fast. We install and repair sprinkler systems built around how much this city's weather actually asks for, not a default setting copied from somewhere shadier. Even a well-built system drifts out of adjustment as sprinkler heads settle or shift, and in this climate that drift shows up as a dead patch within weeks rather than months.

Repairs are most of what we do day to day — a broken head, a line that's sprung a leak underground, a zone that's stopped coming on, or a controller that's still running last year's schedule. We also handle seasonal tune-ups so the system keeps up as the weather shifts through the year, and drip conversions for beds and borders where a spray head wastes more water than it delivers to the roots. We'll walk the yard with you first and show you exactly what each zone is doing before we touch anything, and whether it's a single head or the whole system, we'd rather diagnose it properly than swap parts and hope.
