Spring startup in Grapevine is the walk we do before May heat, not a ceremonial turn of a handle. Systems that sat closed or half-programmed through winter hide broken heads, stuck valves, and clocks still set to a summer schedule from last year.
What we turn on
The backflow is opened slowly so a dry main does not hammer. Each zone is run long enough to see every head. Sunk heads in Bermuda, nozzles packed with limestone grit, and a valve that stuck over winter get fixed on that visit when the parts are ordinary. A zone with no pressure becomes a leak or valve diagnosis, not a shrug.
The controller is rewritten for the current city rule. No watering from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Run times start shorter than August. Bermuda on clay does not need a July schedule in April, and overwatering a Grapevine lawn in spring is how fungus shows up in the shade.
Who should book it
Book startup if the system was shut down for a freeze, if you bought the house in winter, or if last fall ended with a zone you meant to fix. Lake lots pick up sand in low heads. Downtown courtyards often have one valve buried under a season of mulch.
Call (469) 294-8444 and ask for a startup. Tell us how many zones you believe you have. The count on the clock and the count in the yard are not always the same.
