Adjusting Your Sprinkler Heads

Sprinkler irrigation is the most common way to water landscapes and is typically very efficient. If you do have a sprinkler irrigation system, make sure all heads are adjusted properly and are not spraying towards any unwanted areas like sidewalks, driveways, or overlapping zones. If you do notice this, you can easily adjust the sprinkler head to the correct position. As shown on the image below on a normal pop-up sprinkler, you will notice an arch in a color this will indicate where there will not be spray like the picture shown below. Most sprinklers can be adjusted by using a spray head pull up tool to raise the head, then inserting a screwdriver into the top and adjusting the stem the correct positioning. Each pop-up will be different depending on the brand so make sure to check your owner’s manual before attempting to adjust.
