How to Protect your Pop-up Sprinklers

Prevent verge and lawn reticulation popup heads from being damaged!

Are cars and lawn mowers breaking your pipes and in-ground sprinklers which pop out of the ground to irrigate the lawns and gardens?

Verge sprinklers are commonly broken by cars parking on the verge. The grass is softer than the sprinkler so you have a car weight on this small plastic thing. Snap! So you decide to fix it yourself, take a trip to the hardware store and spend $15 on a new sprinkler and connections and a couple of hours time. A week later someone else drives over it or another one. You may buy a plastic surround and install it.. and the same thing happens!

We can save you a lot of money over time by installing proper concrete surrounds which we compact into the soil around the sprayer so if a car happens to drive there it will usually withstand the weight. They come in corner shapes, halves and full circles. It’s recommended to do all your lawn sprinklers too, making whipper snipping easy and allows lawn mowers to be pushed over with good clearance. They’re wider than the cheap plastic ones which get lost easily under grass.

$25 each supplied and installed. $45 including a complete new good quality Toro Pop-up and Spray Head. Or $65 with a Hunter Gear Drive. Please mention these prices when calling
