Irrigation & Sprinkler Systems
Q: When should I schedule a sprinkler spring startup in Union County?
We recommend scheduling your irrigation spring startup between late March and early May, once the ground has thawed. This service includes a full system inspection, adjusting sprinkler heads for optimal coverage, and setting the controller for the upcoming season to ensure water efficiency.
Q: How often does a sprinkler system need maintenance?
At a minimum, your system requires two service visits per year: a Spring Startup to activate the system and a Winterization (Blow-out) in the fall to prevent pipe bursts. Regular maintenance ensures water conservation and prevents costly repairs caused by leaks or clogged heads.
Q: Do you offer sprinkler repair services near Berkeley Heights?
Yes, we provide comprehensive sprinkler repair services throughout Union County, including Berkeley Heights, Scotch Plains, and Cranford. We specialize in fixing broken heads, leaking valves, controller malfunctions, and underground pipe repairs.
Outdoor & Landscape Lighting
Q: What are the benefits of LED landscape lighting?
Professional LED landscape lighting enhances your home's curb appeal, increases safety by illuminating walkways, and improves security by removing dark spots. Our systems are energy-efficient, using significantly less electricity than traditional halogen bulbs while lasting much longer.
Mosquito & Tick Control
Q: How does Spring House Irrigation’s mosquito and tick control work?
We use a targeted barrier treatment that focuses on the areas where mosquitoes and ticks live and breed. By treating the perimeter of your property and specific foliage, we create a protective zone that significantly reduces pest populations, making your backyard safe for family and pets.
Q: Is your tick control safe for pets?
Yes, our tick and mosquito treatments are completely organic and designed with safety in mind. Once the treatment has dried (typically within 30–60 minutes), it is safe for children and pets to return to the yard and enjoy the outdoors.
