AboutGreen Guru LLC

Tired of paying for the same sprinkler repair every year? Most contractors replace the broken part (valve, head, riser) without asking why it failed. Result? You pay for the same repair next season — or worse, mid-season when your lawn is already stressed.

Green Guru fixes it differently: We find the upstream cause (excess pressure, valve debris, coverage mismatch, hidden leak) and fix that — so it doesn't come back.

Why Root Cause Diagnosis Matters

Typical Contractor Green Guru
Replaces broken sprinkler head Fixes excess pressure causing breakage
Repairs leak, leaves site Tests flow, finds hidden second leak
1-year warranty (maybe) 2-year warranty (always)
"Call us back when it breaks again" "We fixed the cause — it won't break again"

How We Deliver Repairs That Last

  • Diagnose before we fix: We don't guess. Zone-by-zone testing, pressure measurement under flow, and leak detection isolate the real problem — not just the symptom.
  • Document everything: Valve boxes labeled, controller settings verified, coverage mapped. Future service stays fast and predictable because we leave the system organized.
  • Prevent repeat failures: If excess pressure keeps breaking heads, we add a Pressure Reducing Valve. If coverage is mismatched, we redesign the zone. Fixing symptoms is easy — we fix causes.
  • Smart monitoring when it fits: SRMS flow monitoring catches $5,000 leaks within minutes (not months). Landscape lighting with Smart Link stays controllable from your phone. We recommend tech when it prevents problems.
  • Priority response for plan members: Service Plans include 72-hour or 24-hour scheduling during peak season, 10% off all repairs, and proactive maintenance that catches issues before they become emergencies.
Real results: 94% of our irrigation repairs last 3+ years without repeat failures. Our 2-year warranty isn't hope — it's confidence that we fixed the root cause, not just the symptom.

More FAQs: IrrigationLightingSRMS™Service Plans

Lawn Irrigation


Q: My sprinklers aren't working correctly. Can you fix my sprinklers?

A: Yes. We troubleshoot no-start zones, low flow, leaks, broken heads, wiring issues, and valve symptoms. If the system has already been activated and is safe to run, a Tune-Up & Repair Visit is the fastest (reduced-rate) way to get repairs moving and restore predictable performance.

Q: I have a broken sprinkler head. Can you repair a broken sprinkler head?

A: Yes. We replace the head and confirm the underlying cause (mower damage, pressure, poor fitment, or a cracked riser) so it doesn’t become a repeat failure.

Q: There's a wet spot in my yard, I think I need to fix a sprinkler leak. Can you help?

A: A wet spot is often a line, fitting, or valve leak. We locate the failure, repair it, and verify coverage so you stop wasting water and avoid landscape damage.

Q: How often should I water my lawn?

A: It depends on soil, exposure, slope, and nozzle selection — but as a rule, deeper and less frequent watering builds stronger roots. We can tune runtimes and start times so coverage improves without runoff.

Q: Do I need to do anything to my sprinkler system for the winter?

A: Yes — winterization (blow-out) clears water from lines and valves so freeze damage doesn’t become spring surprises. In our area, Sept–Nov is the typical window.

Q: What is the ideal water pressure for my home? When is it considered too high?

A: Most homes run best around 50–70 PSI. Pressure that’s consistently 80+ PSI is considered high and can accelerate leaks and failures (including irrigation parts and exterior hose connections).

Common signs of excessive pressure:

  • Frequent leaks or dripping fixtures
  • Noisy water hammer / banging pipes
  • Misting/fogging at sprinkler heads
  • Unusual spikes in water usage

If pressure is the root cause, we can verify it and recommend a PRV-based fix path.

Q: How do I know if my sprinkler system is using too much water?

A: If you see soggy zones, runoff, or a higher-than-normal bill, it’s often a leak, a stuck valve, or overspray/coverage inefficiency. We can audit the system, tune it, and recommend upgrades (like pressure regulation or smart control) when they’re the right next step.

Landscape Lighting


Q: Some of my landscape lights aren't working. Can you fix landscape lighting?

A: Yes. We troubleshoot fixtures, transformers, taps, and wiring/splice failures, then restore reliable operation before recommending upgrades.

Q: My landscape lights are flickering. How can you fix flickering landscape lights?

A: Flicker is usually a loose/corroded splice, a failing lamp, or voltage drop. We find the weak link, repair it, and rebalance runs for consistent output.

Q: I want to add more lights to my existing landscape lighting system. Can you do that?

A: Absolutely. We can expand a system, upgrade to LED, and keep it serviceable by fixing wire gauge, waterproof splices, and transformer sizing as we go.

Q: What kind of maintenance does landscape lighting require?

A: The big one is splice discipline — waterproof connections prevent corrosion failures. We also clean lenses, re-aim fixtures, and keep vegetation from swallowing the beam.

Q: Is LED landscape lighting worth the investment?

A: Yes. LEDs reduce power draw, run cooler, and last longer. The best value comes from pairing quality fixtures with correct voltage and serviceable wiring/splices.

SRMS™ (Smart Resource Management System)


Q: What does SRMS stand for?

A: SRMS stands for Smart Resource Management System. It’s our tiered irrigation retrofit that adds connectivity + smart control first, then protection and response as needs evolve.

See the full SRMS overview →

Q: Do I need customer Wi‑Fi for SRMS?

A: Not always. Tier 1 is designed to add dedicated connectivity so control and monitoring remain serviceable even when customer Wi‑Fi isn’t available or reliable.

Q: What systems are a fit for SRMS?

A: SRMS is a strong fit for typical 1" and 2" irrigation systems where you want better visibility, control, and follow-through. HOA common areas and commercial sites are common use cases.

Q: Does Tier 2 stop leaks automatically?

A: Tier 2 adds flow monitoring and automated safeguards. The goal is less damage and less waste, but configuration and validation are part of the install.

Q: What about excessive pressure (85+ PSI)?

A: High pressure can create repeat failures. We verify pressure and recommend regulation first, so smart control is built on a stable foundation.
