We serve year-round residences, vacation homes, and commercial landscapes throughout the area.

What We Do During a Summerization Visit

Every visit follows a thorough checklist designed to catch problems early and set your system up for an efficient season. Our technicians work through each zone systematically, leaving nothing to assumption.

Here’s what each visit includes:

Turn on water and controller to restore full system operation
Program the controller to conserve water and optimize root development zone by zone
Test all sensors to confirm they’re responding correctly
Inspect and adjust all heads for proper coverage and angle
Complete a free comprehensive system efficiency analysis
Flag all problem areas and report them to you before we leave

That last step matters. You’ll know exactly where your system stands and what, if anything, needs attention before the season is underway.

Water Conservation You Can Measure

Our approach is grounded in conservation. By programming your controller zone by zone and running a full efficiency analysis, we can often reduce water usage by up to 60% without compromising the health or appearance of your lawn. Our technicians use smart irrigation technology and high-quality products on every visit, and we back all of our work with a satisfaction guarantee.

Montauk properties present specific challenges: sandy soils, salt air, and highly variable summer foot traffic all affect how a system should be programmed. We account for those conditions when we set up your controller, so your system is configured for your property rather than running on a generic schedule.

Montauk’s Water Supply & Why Efficient Irrigation Matters Here

Water service in Montauk falls under the Suffolk County Water Authority, which supplies the Town of East Hampton and the surrounding East End. That supply comes entirely from Long Island’s sole-source aquifer system, meaning there’s no backup water source. Every gallon used for irrigation draws from the same aquifer that serves drinking water needs across the county.

The Suffolk County Water Authority enforces an odd/even day watering schedule and prohibits irrigation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. across its service area. During past summer heat waves, the authority has declared water emergencies on the East End in response to surging irrigation demand. A system that isn’t programmed correctly doesn’t just waste water; it can put you out of compliance during the months when restrictions matter most.

Smart Controller Technology for Coastal Properties

Our summerization service includes setup and programming of the Hunter Hydrawise Wi-Fi controller, which uses real-time local weather data to automatically adjust your watering schedule. When rain is forecast or temperatures drop, the system holds off. When conditions are dry, it waters at the right time and in the right amount. You don’t have to monitor it manually or remember to override a static schedule.

Coastal environments like Montauk introduce an additional consideration: salt air exposure over time can affect irrigation equipment, from valve components to head seals. Our efficiency analysis can catch wear that might not be visible from the surface, so small issues are less likely to become mid-season failures. Combining smart controller technology with a thorough physical inspection is how we help confirm your system is ready, not just switched on.
