Sprinkler systems are great — until they aren’t. Whether it’s an old system that’s been running for years or a newer one that suddenly stops working, irrigation issues are one of those things that you notice fast when they go wrong. In Bellingham, where we get a fair amount of wet weather and then sudden warm spells, having a system that works properly can make a real difference in how your lawn and plants look come spring and summer.
Green Landscape Management does irrigation service and repair throughout Bellingham, WA. We don’t just show up with a wrench and guess — we figure out what’s going on, explain it, and fix it so you don’t have the same problem again next month.
Most calls start the same way — something isn’t working quite right. Maybe a zone doesn’t kick on. Maybe the heads are spraying in the wrong direction, or you’re seeing soggy spots in odd places. Other times, a pipe breaks and you find water pooling where it shouldn’t be. All of that is normal here. Weather, shifting soil, and regular wear and tear eventually affect irrigation systems, especially ones that haven’t been serviced in a while.
We start by walking the system with you. We check each valve, each zone, each sprinkler head, and the controller. Sometimes it’s a simple fix — a head that’s been knocked out of place or a zone that just needs adjusting. Other times, there’s a cracked pipe or a stuck valve that needs more attention. Whatever the issue, we try to be upfront about what needs to be done and what it costs before we start putting tools on it.
In Bellingham, Washington, irrigation isn’t just about watering in the summer. A system that’s working right helps keep plants healthy early in the season and prevents overwatering during wet spells we get in spring and fall. That’s why we offer both one-time repairs and regular service calls. If you want your system checked and tuned up before the busy season hits, we can do that too.
One of the most common problems we see is heads that are spraying where they shouldn’t — onto sidewalks, driveways, or fencing. That’s a waste of water and it doesn’t help your lawn. We adjust heads so they cover just what you want watered, no more and no less. It’s simple, but it makes a big difference in how your lawn looks and how much water you use.
We also check controllers. Settings sometimes get changed by accident — someone bumps the dial or maybe a power outage resets things. Getting those schedules right means your system runs when it should and stays off when it shouldn’t. More efficient watering means healthier grass and fewer headaches for you.
For bigger issues like buried pipe breaks, we use the proper tools to locate and repair without tearing up your whole yard. We do our best to fix it cleanly and quickly because we know you want your landscape back in order, not looking like a construction zone.
We work with both residential and commercial irrigation systems across Bellingham, WA. It doesn’t matter if it’s a small lawn system or a larger setup for a business property — we treat each job with the same care and attention.
Some clients like to schedule regular maintenance like a spring startup and a fall shutdown and that’s great because issues are easier to catch early. Others call when there’s an obvious problem. Either way, we’re happy to help and walk you through what we find.
If your sprinkler system isn’t doing what it should, or if it’s been a while since anyone checked it, give us a call. Green Landscape Management will come out, take a look at your irrigation in Bellingham, Ferndale, Lynden or Blaine, and get it working the way it’s supposed to again.
