Professional spring activation for residential lawn sprinkler systems across Newmarket, Aurora, Markham, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, King City and the broader GTA. Slow pressure-up, full leak inspection, zone-by-zone test, Hydrawise programming for the season — all done in 35-50 minutes for a typical 4-zone home.
Tell us your zone count and we'll show you the exact spring-opening price — no on-site quote needed for standard residential systems. Same fixed-price logic we use across the rest of the site.
The same six steps every time, in the same order. Skip any one of them and you set up bigger problems for July.
We open the main shut-off over 60-90 seconds. Most homeowner DIYs blow this — fast pressurization sends water hammer through poly lines and cracks fittings.
Walk every line, check every valve box, listen for any pressure loss. Catch micro-leaks before they become wet spots and root rot.
Each zone fired manually. Every head inspected for spray pattern, height, rotation. Adjust nozzles for full coverage with no overspray on patios or driveways.
Schedule built around your zones, soil type, and the local Newmarket / GTA forecast. Hydrawise pulls weather automatically and skips when it rains.
We show you every adjustment we made, walk you through the Hydrawise app on your phone, hand off any printed Hydrawise documentation.
Final pressure test, written report of system status emailed to you. Anything we found gets documented — even if no action needed yet.
Newmarket and the GTA's last frost typically lands around May 24 — but the activation window opens earlier than that. Once overnight temperatures stay above freezing and the ground frost is gone, you can run water through the system safely.
Early March: Book your spring opening — pick the date you want. April 15-30: Most opening appointments happen here. May 1-15: Last-call weeks; service slots get tight. After May 15: Most contractors are fully booked into installation season — you're competing for repair-window slots only.
If you wait until April to book, the most common outcome is a 2-3 week wait. We don't oversell capacity; we'd rather tell you "I can get to you on the 18th" honestly than "Yeah next week" and miss it.
We can do the controller swap during your spring opening — one visit, both done. See what it'd save on your water bill first.
It happens — especially on systems that weren't professionally winterized last fall. Our spring opening includes a full diagnosis. If we find damage, we quote the repair on-site (in writing, before doing any extra work) and most issues are fixable same-day with parts on the truck.
Common winter findings:
The fastest way to avoid all of the above next year: book your fall winterization with us in October. Professional low-pressure compressor blow-out empties every line so nothing's left to freeze.
Pick a date, we confirm within one business day. Same crew that opens it knows the system come summer.
