Artificial turf, mulch, gravel and new landscaping can hide sprinkler controls that still need adjustment and repair.
Artificial turf, mulch, decorative rock, soil or hardscaping will be installed over an area containing an existing irrigation system.
Irrigation valve boxes containing the valves and solenoids that control sprinkler zones.
Look for rectangular plastic lids near the foundation, water service area or planting beds. Ask the current irrigation contractor or review any available system plan. Do not assume every box is visible at grade.
Valve boxes can settle below grade or become hidden by earlier landscaping. A clean-looking bed does not establish that no valve box is present.
A technician may need to trace wiring, probe the area or remove new material before a leaking or failed valve can be reached.
Before grading, base compaction or final surface installation. Mark each confirmed box and agree with the installer on how it will remain visible and serviceable.
An irrigation specialist may be appropriate. Provider availability depends on the project and service area.
