At Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SeaTac), the nearest NOAA normals station we use for Hunts Point, the first frost arrives around November 23 in a typical year, and by November 6 in about one year in ten. Hunts Point gets its water from Bellevue Utilities, which requires backflow assemblies on its system to be tested every year. We plan around these dates and rules from the first visit.
Sprinkler & irrigation
Broken heads, leaking valves, damaged lines and zones that won't turn on. We find the real cause, fix it, and test every zone.
Sprinkler and drip systems designed around your lawn, beds and water pressure, with smart controllers that cut water waste.
Zone layouts built from a water-pressure test and a walk of your yard, so every head covers its area without dry spots or puddles.
Compressed-air blowouts that clear every zone before the first freeze. Book in October to get on the schedule.
Installation, repair and replacement of the backflow preventer that keeps irrigation water out of your drinking water.
French drains, catch basins, downspout lines and regrading that move water away from your house.
Built for Hunts Point yards
Puget Sound summers are dry enough that a lawn can go brown in a few weeks without water, and the rest of the year brings months of rain and some freezing nights. A system that isn't set up for both runs too much, too little, or cracks over winter.
Soil and slope change from yard to yard. Heads spaced too far apart leave dry patches, and zones that run too long leave puddles. We test your water pressure, match each zone to the plants it waters, and set run times for the soil you actually have.

Danny to confirm from real jobs: typical lot type here, and the most common irrigation or drainage problem.
Local rules
A lawn sprinkler system is a cross-connection to your drinking water, so a backflow assembly is required on it. The City of Bellevue provides water to Hunts Point, so Bellevue Utilities' cross-connection rules apply.
Hunts Point gets its water from Bellevue Utilities. Backflow assemblies on that system must be tested every year by a Washington State certified Backflow Assembly Tester (BAT), and the owner is responsible for getting the report to Bellevue.
Bellevue Utilities inspects new backflow assemblies, and each one is tested when it's installed. We check what Hunts Point and Bellevue Utilities require for your address before any work starts.
An assembly is tested again after it is repaired, reinstalled or relocated, and the test report goes to Bellevue Utilities.

"Danny worked on our broken irrigation pipe and a underground connector. He was efficient, on time, and got the job done cleanly. I would hire him again."

"… Weeks after installation, I had an issue with one garden area getting oversaturated along with water build up so I called Danny and he came right over that same day and found that there was a faulty valve and he took care of it right away. Grizzly is competitively priced and Danny is very knowledgeable. …"

"… He did a great job and was very thoughtful to not tear up the yard, and cleaned up the sidewalk as well. It turned out very nice! I appreciated the time he spent with me answering questions about my sprinkler system and other landscaping related questions I had. …"

Questions
It depends on what failed. A broken head is a small fix, while a failed valve or a cracked main line takes more time and parts. We find the cause first and give you the price before any work starts.
Before the first freeze. At Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SeaTac), the nearest NOAA normals station we use for Hunts Point, the first frost arrives around November 23 in a typical year, and by November 6 in about one year in ten. Booking in October is safest. Water left in the lines can freeze and crack pipes, valves and the backflow preventer.
Yes. Hunts Point's water comes from Bellevue Utilities, which requires backflow assemblies on its system to be tested every year by a Washington State certified Backflow Assembly Tester. New assemblies are tested once they're installed, and again after any repair, and the test report goes to Bellevue.
Yes. We repair systems no matter who installed them. If a zone is worth redesigning instead of patching, we tell you before any work starts.
Yes. We design zones around your lawn, beds and water pressure, install the system, and test every zone before we leave. New sprinkler installations come with an 18-month warranty.
In most cases, yes. A smart controller adjusts watering to the weather, so the system skips a cycle after rain and waters more during a dry August. It usually connects to the valves you already have.
Usually it is one of two things: a leaking valve or line that lets water seep out between cycles, or poor drainage that keeps rainwater sitting in the soil. We check the irrigation first, then the grading and drainage, and fix whichever one is the cause.
