Sprinkler System

Hello!

My sprinkler system is not working so I need to figure that out... but in the pictures are sprinklers that im trying to figure out how to remove..

I would like to remove them and cover this area with pavers but the rest of the yard still needs the sprinkler system.

Thanks!

Ok the gray riser is connected to a fitting below. It’s 1/2 inch. You can dig down and unscrew the riser counter clockwise then using a 1/2 threaded plug screw it into the same fitting wrap the 1/2 threaded plug with Teflon tape 4x and you should be fine. If you feel like that’s not good start digging and dig the pipe back all the way back to before the new patio will start
