Sometimes the sprinklers are fine and the controller is the problem. We repair, replace, and program every major brand — including smart Wi-Fi models built for our foothill weather swings.
Your controller is the brain of the whole system. When it loses its programming, skips zones, or won't power up, your yard pays for it — either drying out on a 100° foothill afternoon or drowning a slope. The good news: controller issues are often quick to sort out.
A controller set to factory defaults waters like it's in a mild, rainy climate — too often, at the wrong time of day, wasting money. We program yours around how Auburn landscapes actually behave: deep, infrequent cycles that soak rocky, decomposed-granite ground without running down a slope, early-morning start times to beat the heat, and seasonal adjustments so you're not watering in a cool, wet spring. Well-fed systems get schedules that respect the pump's cycle time, too. See our foothill watering schedule guide.
If your controller just needs a battery, a fuse, or fresh programming, that's a simple fix. If it's badly outdated or failing, a modern smart controller often pays for itself in water savings within a season or two — and it's a lot less frustrating to use. We'll lay out both options with honest pricing and let you choose.
We'll repair, replace, or program it — and show you how to use it.
