The right watering system can go a long way towards ensuring your green thumb efforts. Sprinklers are a practical, attractive addition to landscapes across the country. Arranged well, they bring life to many lawns. Their systems provide essential water & timers with the convenience of not having to manually spray water ourselves. When adding or renovating a sprinkler system, pay attention to your landscaping. This includes your plants & flowers–it would be a waste to spray more water on flowers than on high water-need shrubs! Don't skimp on preparation & you'll enjoy your sprinkler system for years to come!

Repairing a lawn sprinkler, depending on the type of sprinkler, requires a few tools like a spade & a smaller shovel, a cup & toothbrush, plumber's tape, some sprinkler heads, risers, gloves, & last but not least, a pipe removal tool (easy-out), which certainly helps. Start by excavating the area surrounding the sprinkler head(s) that has been malfunctioning, with the small shovel. But be very careful, taking your time & being somewhat gentle, so that you do not damage pipes that have been buried in the area. Use your hands to very carefully remove that last bit of soil.
Then, move the sprinkler head, along with the riser, out of their place. The 'easy-out' tool for pipe removal is ideal for using on that riser, just for this. Make sure to assess the riser itself for any possible damage. This damage is most often caused by other people stepping on the sprinkler head. Any components that have been damaged, in any way, you now need to replace. If replacing the spinkler head itself, ensure that the new replacement head will also be able to spray within the very same pattern as its predecessor did. This is very important.
Wrap each head, with the plumber's tape, before putting on that riser. Then, use the cup to scoop out any & all water that's in the hole. Use the toothbrush, next, to clean the spout, right at the area where the riser is known to attach. Put on the new riser, most carefully, without stripping its threads. Purge your system, turning the water on. A “turn test” is best!
