Many times properties have a PVB / Backflow for the irrigation system to turn on and off the water. It might look like the ones above. They may have a copper colored top instead of a black one like these. Often times we see them located in homes front or the side yards. Never force knobs and make sure it is only for the irrigation. If the PVB is broken, leaking or rusted we may be able to replace it.
If the leak only shows up when the irrigation is on / running you might be able to turn your irrigation clock to the off position.
Many times there is more than one at a property. Sometimes the one(s) in the front yard control the irrigation in the front yard and the one(s) in the back yard control the back yard.
A similar set up is probably in a valve box.
They come in different shapes and sizes and are usually near plants or where plants use to be. They can come off, get cloged or break.
Is usually underground.

On Time Landscaping has been a properly licensed contractor since 2008 and is equipped and licensed to fix, replace or install most irrigation / sprinkler systems and components. Feeling comfortable knowing the work was done the right way the first time is worth something. Fixing leaks saves money and water.
We do our best to provide a cost prior to doing work. Sometimes we can not see what is wrong until we start digging and sometimes we fix one issue and another one may present itself so pricing can change.
Parts are not always the most expensive part of irrigation work. A reasonable amount of the cost, especially if it is an emergency call is the cost and time it takes to get to and from a property (and to get parts if we don’t have them with us).
Check out our reviews on Yelp and Google as well as checking that we are properly licensed with the Nevada Contractors Board, Clark County, and the Cities of Las Vegas, North Las Vegas and Henderson. .
The local water providers have water waste investigators that look for water waste and following up on citizen reports. Some people call them the water cops.
Water is charged / paid for by the gallon. The more water a property uses the more that property owner / tenant pays for water. The more water a property uses the more it pays per gallon / unit of water. It is commonly called tiers. For example. The Las Vegas Valley Water District rate per 1,000 gallons with a 5/8 inch meter for the lowest tier is $1.40. For the highest tier it is $5.51. The rates are different depending on a number of factors but it boils down to if an irrigation leak is fixed less water is used and in turn not as much money is spent on water.
Not all landscapers or irrigation people are properly licensed like On Time Landscaping is. On Time Landscaping has been doing irrigation repairs since we became a licensed contractor in 2008. Per Nevada law a contractors license is need to do irrigation work (NAC 624).
