April Sprinkler Checklist: Get Your System Ready for the Season

April Sprinkler Checklist: Get Your System Ready for the Season

Amy Gray |

Alright, sprinkler head—yes, you. If you’re reading this, it’s officially time to crawl out of your pollen-coated bunker and get your irrigation system back in action. April in Zone 8a isn’t playing around, and neither should you. Before the summer sun turns your garden into a crunchy lawn buffet for bugs, give your sprinklers a solid checkup. A little TLC now means fewer panic moments when the temps hit 90° and your plants start throwing shade (literally and emotionally).

First, fire up your system and take a walk around like the boss you are. Look for sad sprays, rogue geysers, and that one sprinkler head that’s basically just spitting into the wind. Clean out nozzles clogged with debris—thank you, Georgia clay—and straighten out any heads doing their best Leaning Tower of Pisa impression. Don’t forget to inspect valves and lines for cracks or leaks. It’s like a treasure hunt, except the treasure is water conservation and a lower utility bill.

Now that you’ve done the detective work, let’s fix it up. This is where Cheap Sprinklers becomes your best friend. Whether you need replacement heads, smart timers, drip kits, or that tiny part you swear no one sells—Cheap Sprinklers has it. No inflated prices, no nonsense. Just quality gear to make your system run smoother than a fresh coat of mulch. Go ahead and treat yourself, sprinkler head—your plants deserve it, and so do you.

Bottom line: April is prime time to catch issues before they turn into full-blown garden drama. Handle it now and spend the rest of the season admiring your perfectly watered kingdom. So put on your DIY crown, hit up Cheap Sprinklers, and get that system in shape. Your yard will be thriving—and you’ll officially be the smartest sprinkler head on the block.
