Marking Your Sprinklers & Invisible Dog Fence

Instructions for Marking Your Sprinkling System

It's important that you prepare your lawn for an aeration by properly marking your sprinkling system before Weed Pro begins service.

The week before your service, you'll receive notification that we will be by to perform the service. When marking your system, be sure to mark any part of your sprinklers that are less than 3" deep. This includes sprinkler heads, valve boxes, and shallow pipe. Typically, your irrigation company that services this system can perform this for you at a reasonable rate.

If you plan to mark your system yourself, you can use:

• Irrigation Flags (Click Here to Order Online from a National Retailer); 
• Turf Paint (be sure to circle the heads with the paint; or
• Wooden Stakes.

Instructions for Marking Your Invisible Dog Fence

Often, people fail to remember to mark their invisible dog fence system before having an aeration performed. Invisible dog wire is shallow, often two inches or less below the surface.

To mark your invisible dog fence, follow these steps:

• Locate the beginning of the perimeter that is connected to the control box;
• Turn on the system and hold the training collar in one hand WITHOUT TOUCHING THE ELECTRODES and swing your arm back-and-forth, listening for the buzz the collar puts off;
• Every 5 feet, make a mark with turf paint indicating wire; and finally
• Connect the marks made, making lines that indicate the path of the wire.
