Your system’s needs change throughout the year

Keep the season
in the plan.

Turning the controller on is only part of getting ready for the growing season. Coverage, damaged components, and watering settings all deserve attention as your landscape changes.

Bella Terra helps homeowners plan seasonal irrigation care, from bringing a system back into use to preparing it for colder weather.

One system. Different seasonal needs.

Start ready.
Adjust thoughtfully. Finish prepared.

Winterization & Shutdown

A few things to consider

A seasonal plan.
Clear expectations.

When should I request spring startup?

Contact us ahead of the season to discuss timing. Weather, site conditions, and your system’s needs help determine an appropriate startup plan. Appointment availability should be confirmed when scheduling.

When should winterization be planned?

Plan the conversation before freezing conditions are expected. The appropriate timing depends on local weather and the system. Contact us to discuss your property and available appointments.

Can repairs be included with seasonal service?

Tell us about known problems when you submit the request. The issue, parts needed, and time required help determine whether repairs can be included in the visit or need a separate service plan.

Does a smart controller remove the need for seasonal service?

No. Smart controls do not inspect the piping, heads, valves, or physical condition of the system. Seasonal checks and system-specific cold-weather preparation still need consideration.
