Brown stripes across the lawn after a dry Santa Ana week usually trace back to one clogged head rather than a dead zone. That head comes out, the line gets flushed and the arc goes back where it belongs.

Mowers and car tires snap heads more than anything else. A head that sprays straight up, a geyser at the edge of the lawn or a dry patch in the same spot every week usually means one head needs replacing or its nozzle needs cleaning. We match the head type and spray pattern to the rest of the zone so coverage stays even.
When one zone stays dry, the problem is usually at its valve. A worn diaphragm keeps water running after the timer shuts off. A dead solenoid does the opposite and won't open at all. Both can be replaced without digging up the whole valve.
The pipe from a valve out to the heads is the lateral line, usually shallow PVC. A crack shows up as a soggy spot that never dries, or heads that barely pop up. We dig to the break, cut out the bad section and glue in a repair coupling. Tree roots and last season's planting shovel are the usual cause.
If several zones quit at the same moment, suspect the controller or a shared wire before blaming the valves. We test the controller output and the field wiring first. Then we set the schedule for your yard, check it against your water agency's watering days, and turn on rain delay if the controller has it.
Water on the sidewalk is wasted, and Los Angeles and Santa Monica water rules don't allow runoff onto pavement. We adjust arcs and radius so heads water lawn and beds, not the driveway, and swap nozzles where one zone mixes spray and rotor heads. A head that has been wetting a deck or a fence every morning for years has usually left rot behind it.
LA rarely freezes, so there's no winterizing like back east. What matters is cutting run times when the rain comes and raising them again in spring.

From $120 for a few broken heads swapped and the zone checked. The flat price comes before any digging.
Yes. Heads, valves, broken lines and timers are all routine for us.
Yes. Drip tubing gets chewed, kinked and pulled loose. We patch the line, replace the emitters that stopped and clean the filter at the valve.
Yes. Moving a head a few feet off a new path or planter means a short trench and a new riser, and the new head is matched to the rest of the zone.
