If you are dragging hoses around your property, you need a lawn sprinkler system.
We are your outdoor landscape & lawn sprinkler service provider in Northern Illinois.
If your lawn and planting beds don’t look quite as good as your neighbors, you have to make a change. For local homeowners, lawn irrigation and the surrounding areas can be the answer. A lawn sprinkler system will add value to your property.
From installation to repairs, we offer a full scope of services to help improve or maintain your sprinkler system.
There are many ways a system can be built that will affect the quality of an irrigation system. We start by measuring how many gallons your water supply can produce per minute, what pressure it can maintain while doing it. From that information, we know the maximum number of gallons per minute that can come out of any one zone. Then we consider the landscape to be watered. Next, we draw a layout of your lawn sprinkler system making sure that we keep the heads and nozzle sizes within the water supply restrictions. The result is the precise amount of water needed for all the different plants in your landscape.

Lawn Sprinkler Rotors
Rotors are various sprinklers heads that rotate a stream of water in a circle or a back-and-forth motion. For best results, rotors should be spaced roughly 15-20 feet apart depending on water pressure.
-
Misters
Fixed spray heads are small watering heads that spray a fanning pattern. The nozzles are interchangeable and can spray half-to-full circles or patterns that can cover extended narrow areas of a lawn. For best results, spray heads spacing should be no more than 15 feet apart.

Rotary Nozzles & Rotators
Rotary nozzles are tiny rotors that are the size of a standard spray sprinkler head with a radius of between 15-35 feet. Rotator nozzles are more efficient as they produce less mist than traditional spray heads.

Drip Irrigation
This type of irrigation is used when rooting new plant and trees! Another reason to use drip irrigation is for plants that should not have an overhead spray, like roses.

Spring Turn Down /System Blow Out

Sprinkler winterization includes blowing out all pipes, valves, and heads to prevent freeze damage. We will also disconnect and remove the pump and or backflow device to be stored for the winter. A good rule of thumb with lawn irrigation and the surrounding areas is to winterize before Halloween (Oct. 31).
Weather Sensors
Use water only when needed
Rain sensors are required on all new installations of irrigation systems. There is no reason to feel guilty for running your Allscape Services sprinkler system because we use Weather Matic Smartline Controllers with a weather sensor that connects to the internet weather data for your zip code. The Smartline Controller changes the watering times daily according to weather conditions. The system measure the temperature, rainfall, and the sunlight that hits your property to set the watering schedule. Never worry about over watering, that causes runoff, or under watering, causing lawns and plants to brown.

Landscape Irrigation FAQs
Learn all you need to know by checking out our FAQs below. If you have any questions, please contact us by clicking here!
Why is water puddling around my sprinkler head?
You have a seeping valve which slowly fills the line until it overflows at the lowest head on the zone. It must be cleaned or replaced.
Why is one zone running in my yard all the time?
You have a valve stuck open likely to have a pebble or some other obstruction keeping the valve from fully closing. It must be taken apart and cleaned or replaced.
Why does my system continue to cycle?
You have more than one start time scheduled. You must get rid of all but one start times except the one you want to check all programs.
In Northern Illinois when should I turn down/off my irrigation system?
Before Nov 7th should be good, unless we have an early winter and deep freeze.
Why are my sprinkler heads stuck up in my yard after my system runs?
This usually happens after heads are 7 or more years old. You can clean the shaft with rubbing alcohol and spray with WD 40 they will often work for another season or replace the head.and the problem is gone for another 7 years.
Why won’t my system turn on?
Try bypassing the rain sensor, then make sure all water valves are still in the on position. After checking the first two and it still does not turn on you most likely need a service call it could be a cut cable, bad master valve solenoid, or faulty controller.
Can I service my RPZ?
No, this can only be done by a licensed plumber with a CCDI license, who then must submit paperwork to the city and state. The price in Northern IL. for this service ranges from $90.00 to $125.00. Click here for the list of RPZ plumbers by city that do the backflow testing
Why does my system run while it’s raining?
Either it may be that the sensor switch is in bypass or there has to be enough rain to activate the sensor so it will run until it hits 1/2 inch of rain.
Why even though my sprinkler system is running I still have brown spots in my yard?
Hills and full sun areas require more water than the rest of the lawn. If you have a broken head on that zone it will kill the pressure and the other heads will not operate properly. There are many grass diseases and insects that can cause brown spots grubs being the number one suspect usually creating irregular circles in the lawn. 2) Continued animal urination
Why does my controller say ‘Error’?
There is at least one bad solenoid that needs to be replaced.
