Services

Full-season irrigation services, from spring start-up to fall/winter shutdown

One contractor for the whole watering season — spring startup, in-season maintenance, repairs as they come up, and a proper blowout before the freeze.

Irrigation activations

Spring startup completed properly: water supply opened, zones tested, valves and heads inspected, adjustments made, and controller programmed for seasonal operation.

Details

Monthly inspections

Preventative visits through the watering season that catch leaks, broken heads, clogged nozzles, dry spots, overspray and runoff before they turn into dead turf or a large repair bill.

Details

Repairs & adjustments

Valves, heads, nozzles, fittings and wiring repaired or replaced, plus adjustments to spray pattern, head position, flow, pressure and controller programming.

Details

Efficiency upgrades

Smart controllers, flow and rain sensors, high-efficiency nozzles, drip conversions, pressure regulation and remote connectivity — targeted upgrades that improve irrigation efficiency and reduce water waste.

Details

Winterizations

Prevent winter damage with proper irrigation shutdown, compressed-air blowout, drainage of exposed components, and seasonal controller checks.

Details

Consulting & grounds work

Site evaluations and complimentary estimates for routine maintenance needs, along with one-time cleanups, soil installation, and mulch applications to keep the property looking its best.

What CEES stands for

Four words that decide how we do the work

The name isn't an abbreviation of a founder's initials. It's the standard every visit is measured against.

C

Conservation

Water is a resource worth managing. Leaks, overspray, and runoff are identified and corrected before they become ongoing waste—helping prevent water from being wasted all season on someone else's bill.

E

Efficiency

Proper pressure, matched precipitation rates, uniform coverage, and weather-based scheduling to ensure water is applied efficiently where it's needed.

E

Education

We don't just identify problems; we explain why they matter, what industry standards recommend, and what options make the most sense for your property.

S

Sustainability

Reliable systems, efficient upgrades, and responsible water management that help landscapes thrive while reducing waste.

For property managers & HOAs

A maintenance record you can hand to your board

Irrigation issues can go unnoticed for weeks. A stuck valve, broken lateral, or leaking component can continue wasting water until the first sign is a rising water bill, runoff, or declining landscape.

Monthly inspections help catch these issues early. Each visit is documented by site, giving you a clear record of system condition, repairs completed, and items that require approval—reducing surprises and keeping your irrigation system performing throughout the season.

What a monthly inspection covers

  • Every irrigation zone operated and inspected under normal operating pressure
  • Leaks, broken or misaligned heads, and clogged nozzles identified and addressed where possible
  • Dry areas, overspray, runoff, and coverage issues identified and corrected where possible
  • Controller programming and run times reviewed based on current weather conditions
  • Changes in landscape conditions considered when evaluating irrigation schedules
  • Findings documented, with recommended repairs quoted for approval before additional work proceeds

Unlike a spring activation, which brings the system back online after winterization, inspections are preventative visits carried out through the watering season.

New customer? The estimate is free.

Send over the property details and we'll evaluate the system, identify what's costing you water, and put a written recommendation in front of you at no cost — covering routine maintenance needs: activations, inspections, repairs and upgrades, and winterizations.
