How to do it

Step by step

  1. Run each zone and walk it. Flag broken, tilted or spraying-the-wall heads.
  2. Replace heads and adjust spray away from the house.
  3. Convert shrub beds to drip.
  4. A smart timer skips watering after rain. SDG&E and the San Diego County Water Authority often offer rebates.
When to call a pro: Main line leaks or backflow device testing: licensed landscape contractor or plumber.
