Reduce runoff with shorter repeated watering cycles
Cycle-and-soak scheduling divides watering into shorter runs with breaks between them. This can help compacted or sloped soil absorb water instead of sending it into streets and gutters.

Typical industry pricing
Industry planning range: about $85–$225 for many controller-programming visits; repairs or advanced controller work are additional. Access, parts, zone count, trenching, electrical work and hidden damage can change the final total. This range is educational—not a binding quote. We confirm options after inspecting the system.
Frequently asked questions
How long should the break be between cycles?
A common planning interval is roughly 30–45 minutes, but soil, slope and controller capabilities matter.
Does cycle-and-soak mean watering more?
No. The total planned run time is divided into shorter applications to improve absorption.
Can you check the rest of my irrigation system?
Yes. We can test connected zones and point out coverage, pressure, controller or leak issues that may affect the repair.
