That’s where Spartan Irrigation comes in. A professionally installed sprinkler system isn’t just convenient, it’s a game-changer for homeowners. But how do you know if you’re ready?

When the summer sun starts baking your lawn, the last thing you want to discover is a faulty sprinkler system. A single broken head or hidden leak can mean the difference between a lush, green lawn and a patchy, stressed-out yard. At Spartan Irrigation, we’ve seen it all—and trust us, waiting until your grass is gasping for water is never the move. So, here’s why sprinkler repair is so crucial this spring.
Every homeowner dreams of a lush, green lawn—one that looks straight out of a magazine cover. But keeping your grass healthy and hydrated takes more than just good intentions. The real question is: What’s the best way to water your lawn? Should you go with a sleek underground irrigation system or stick with a traditional above-ground setup? At Spartan Irrigation, we know the ins and outs of both options. Let’s break down whether you should go with an underground or above-ground irrigation system.
Let’s address the elephant in the room: Lansing winters can be brutal, and they are especially tough on irrigation systems. With temperatures often dipping well below freezing, your sprinkler system faces significant risks if it’s not properly prepared. When water is left inside pipes or sprinkler heads during a cold snap, it can freeze and expand. This expansion can lead to cracked pipes, damaged valves, and broken sprinkler heads—issues that can turn into costly repairs come spring. At Spartan Irrigation, we can’t stress enough how important it is to winterize your system to avoid damage during harsh weather.
Michigan winters bring a magical blanket of snow, transforming our yards into picturesque scenes straight out of a postcard. While snowfalls are beautiful, have you ever wondered what all that snow is doing to your lawn and irrigation system hiding underneath? At Spartan Irrigation, we want to help you understand the impact of winter weather and how to protect your irrigation system for a healthy lawn come spring.

We all want that lush, green lawn every year, and there’s nothing wrong with that. However, it does come with a cost if you’re not careful.
