Adjusting fixed sprinkler heads is a simple process that can help ensure your lawn and garden receive the right amount of water. Here's how to do it:

  1. Locate the sprinkler head: First, locate the sprinkler head that you want to adjust. You may need to dig around it to expose it.

  2. Turn off the water supply: Turn off the water supply to the sprinkler system. This will prevent any water from flowing while you make adjustments.

  3. Adjust the spray pattern: Most sprinkler heads have an adjustable spray pattern that can be changed to suit the area you want to water. To adjust the spray pattern, turn the head in the direction you want it to go.

  4. Adjust the spray distance: You can also adjust the spray distance by turning a screw located on the top of the sprinkler head. Turning the screw clockwise will decrease the spray distance, while turning it counterclockwise will increase the distance.

  5. Check the spray pattern: Once you've made adjustments to the spray pattern and distance, turn the water supply back on and observe the spray pattern. Make any necessary further adjustments until you achieve the desired coverage.

  6. Cover the sprinkler head: Finally, cover the sprinkler head with soil or grass clippings to protect it from damage and ensure it stays in place.

By following these steps, you should be able to easily adjust the fixed sprinkler heads in your lawn or garden.
