At Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SeaTac), the nearest NOAA normals station we use for Shoreline, the first frost arrives around November 23 in a typical year, and by November 6 in about one year in ten. Both of Shoreline's water providers also require backflow assemblies to be tested every year by a state-certified tester. 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 Puget Sound weather
Puget Sound summers are dry enough that a lawn goes brown in a few weeks without water, and the rest of the year brings months of rain and the odd hard freeze. A system that isn't set up for both runs too much, too little, or cracks over winter.
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 in your yard.
Shoreline neighborhoods
We work across Shoreline, including Richmond Beach, Echo Lake, Ballinger, Ridgecrest, Highland Terrace and Briarcrest.

Local rules
A lawn sprinkler system is a cross-connection to your drinking water. Shoreline is served by two water utilities: Seattle Public Utilities generally west of I-5 and North City Water District generally east of I-5. Rules differ by water provider, and we check yours before any work starts.
Both providers require backflow assemblies to be tested every year by a Washington State certified Backflow Assembly Tester (BAT).
North City Water District asks you to send it a copy of each year's test result. On Seattle Public Utilities service, the tester sends the report directly to SPU.
Seattle Public Utilities requires new assemblies to be inspected and tested before use, and retested after any repair or replacement. Within Shoreline, the City of Shoreline is the plumbing authority.

"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 Shoreline, the first frost arrives around November 23 in a typical year, and by November 6 in about one year in ten, so booking in October is safest. Water left in the lines can freeze and crack pipes, valves and the backflow preventer.
Yes. Shoreline has two water providers. North City Water District, generally east of I-5, requires assemblies to be tested every year by a state-certified Backflow Assembly Tester and a copy of the result sent to the district. Seattle Public Utilities, generally west of I-5, requires a yearly test by a certified tester, a retest after any repair or replacement, and an inspection and test for new assemblies. We check which provider serves your address.
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.
Yes. Grizzly Landscape & Construction LLC is registered with Washington L&I as contractor GRIZZLC755LL, and is bonded and insured. You can look the number up on L&I's Verify a Contractor tool.
Yes. We install French drains, catch basins and downspout lines, and regrade areas where water runs toward the house. Planning drainage and irrigation together means the trenches are dug once.
