Irrigation Maintenance Updates

Latest Update

UPDATED SUNDAY, JUNE 8:

**next update will be published sometime towards the end of June

SPRINKLER SYSTEM START-UPS:

C N’R sprinkler system start up service was officially complete during the week of June 2nd. That means, all sprinkler systems C N’R services are up and running as of the beginning of June. Ahead of last season where we saw 25” of rain during a 3 month span during the spring/early summer. Do you remember that? This caused major delays for all services across the board, including sprinkler start ups.

Anyways, we do greatly appreciate your patience as we really worked hard to service and start up each system just as fast as we could.

**SEASONAL IRRIGATION TUNE-UPS**

This is a summer OPTIONAL service customers can sign up for. It includes 1-2 system tune-ups and during each visit, we adjust watering times for past/current/future weather and complete an inspection of all sprinkler zones/heads. Adjusting zone times helps preserve water consumption and cost.

During this update that was published on June 8th, we do not have any specific plans for this service since we did just get done “starting up” sprinkler systems. Remember, when we “start up” a particular system, we do set zone times to run depending on current weather conditions at that time. Even if you are signed up for this service or not, if we start getting hotter and if we dry out, the customer should be aware of raising their zone times during the summer. When we come by to do a “tune-up”, yes, we will also consider the current weather at that time as well, but us as a company, we cannot guarantee perfect timing on that. We ask that customer do stay weather aware and be conscious of your sprinkler system settings.

As said above, we will update again here later in June, and by then we may be just starting or planning a “tune-up” schedule, so we will post more information at that time.

Any further questions, you can EMAIL CRAIG..

Past Updates

UPDATED FRIDAY, MAY 16:

**next update will be published sometime during the week of June 2nd

We have reached the middle of May, and that means we are still in the middle of the process of opening and going through sprinkler systems. We understand that we had “instant summer” for a couple weeks in May. This made for record high temps all of a sudden, and dry conditions. This does not change the length of the process of opening sprinkler systems. It still takes until early June to get these jobs done every season.

C N’R recommends to all customer to be able to turn on their own water in situations like this where you could have the system running a few times during inclement weather patterns, even though we have not had a chance to go through all zones, all heads, etc.

Also, C N’R does not over-load the schedule, we stay loyal to the ceiling we have learned over the past 33 years and what we can handle. If you have been a customer for awhile now, please do not think we are adding too many clients, because that is not the truth.

Anyways, we always appreciate our great customers not only for your business, but also your patience as we work to get all systems up and running just as fast as we can. Trust us, we are working a lot of hours.

On a more positive note as far as weather is concerned, at the time of this update, we have broke the hot/dry weather pattern and the extended forecast looks much more seasonable or even below normal as far as temps are concerned, and more frequent chances at rain. If your system is not up and running quite yet and your yard has been drying out, we expect full recovery over the rest of May.

If you have further questions, feel free to EMAIL CRAIG.

UPDATED FRIDAY, MAY 2:

It is May 2nd at the time of this update, and yes, C N’R has began with the sprinkler start up process, but it is just the beginning. We like to start working on sprinkler systems toward the end of April each season and it always lasts until early June. The reason we use the word “always” is because from year-to-year, we continue to be sure we have the same workload, and no more than we can handle. With that said, opening sprinkler systems takes time to go through them all. C N’R works as efficiently as possible from neighborhood to neighborhood.

If you have not seen a scheduling email from Craig yet, this is totally normal. We schedule about 1 week in advance as time goes on. We do not email out an entire month and a half worth of scheduling all at once, because weather changes things throughout the spring (unlike the fall - we work through all weather conditions while winterizing sprinkler systems).

We thank you very much for your patience during this process and we will get to everyone just as soon as we can.

If you have any further questions, please EMAIL CRAIG.

UPDATED FRIDAY, APRIL 25:

For sprinkler system start-ups, we did do a “soft start” (lighter schedule) starting on Monday, April 21st through about Wednesday, April 23rd. Then on Thursday 4/24 and Friday 4/25, we got into more back to back appointments. So, at the time of this update, we are just getting going with a long way to go.

Our plan is to continue this service through the entire month of May was usual and it will go into June. Our goal (as always) is to get all systems up and running as soon as possible. We work as efficiently as we can and try to accommodate timing to customers needs. It can’t be perfect as it is a process. We thank you for your patience.

If you are wondering when you will receive a scheduling email, these do not go out all at once. We schedule about 1 week out as weather changes schedules.

You can reach out TO CRAIG for any further questions.

**the next update will likely be posted on or around April 23rd**
Please EMAIL CRAIG if you have any specific questions you need answered until then

UPDATED SUNDAY, APRIL 13, 2025:

We will not be just starting our sprinkler system start-up service until the week of April 21st. If you are on our schedule, you will be notified of your scheduled date via email as we progress through April and May. It is very difficult to get all “start-ups” completed by the end of May, but that will be our goal. We cannot get them all done at once, so we ask for your patience as we work as efficiently as we can from neighborhood to neighborhood. Every single customer of ours matters, and we always do our best to get the systems up and running ASAP.

If you have a water feature that C N’R cleans/sets up, we are currently working on these particular jobs at the time of this update on 4/13, and we expect to continue these jobs until on or around 4/21. Once we are done is when we will start back to back appointments for regular spring system start up customers.

If you have any other specific question still not answered above, please EMAIL CRAIG. Otherwise we will update again on or around April 23rd.

UPDATED THURSDAY, MARCH 20TH, 2025:

For C N’R sprinkler system service customers, the first thing to start our season is working on customer water features. Cleaning them out and getting them set up in April prior to the start of our sprinkler system start up service (more on this below). But, as we work on cleaning out and setting up water features, in most situations, we work on the sprinkler system start-up that is attached to each feature. We like to start working on this sometime in that beginning part or mid-April-ish. Timing on this for 2025 is still not certain.

As far as the “start-up” service is concerned? Typically we start somewhere around April 20th, give or take. It lasts to around June 1st - give or take. Weather dictates on how early we can start, therefore it affects when we can get them all done by. Please have patience through this process. We work long hours one sprinkler system at a time in the spring to get all systems running just as fast as we possibly can, but we cannot get them all done at once.

If you have any further questions about this service, please EMAIL CRAIG.

Otherwise, as we get into April, we will start updating this service more often.
