PROFESSIONAL
SPRINKLER DESIGN

Any good sprinkler system starts with the design. Our systems are designed to maximize the health of your landscape by:

Determining the specific needs of each area of your landscape, including turf, plants, annuals, perennials, shrubs, and trees. Areas with full sun and “thirsty” plants are planned for more water, shady areas receive less.
Selecting the appropriate sprinkler heads and locations to ensure uniform coverage. Proper overlap is essential to maintain a high-efficiency system. If sprinklers are spaced incorrectly, some areas will need to be over-watered just to keep the lawn green.
Utilizing the latest in water conservation equipment such as drip irrigation, rain sensors, computerized programmable timers, flow control zone valves, and backflow devices.

FROM DESIGN TO INSTALLATION:

OUR SPRINKLER PROCESS

We carefully mark sprinkler head locations and assemble over 50 components on-site. Using the latest equipment, we install the system and then backfill, tamp, and rake the disturbed areas. We fine-tune the system, adjusting water pressure, rotation, spray, and coverage, then set the controller for optimal watering. We prioritize water efficiency with WiFi timers, rain sensors, and water-saving sprinkler heads to save you water and money.

ENGINEERING

Understanding your landscape’s specific water needs is key in the design phase—ensuring even coverage, cost efficiency, and effectiveness. Our technicians install systems with precision, using commercial-grade components and the latest tools, all while adhering to National Irrigation Association standards. We handle year-round maintenance, from spring turn-on to winterization, fine-tuning coverage and timers as needed. A well-designed irrigation system is the foundation of a thriving landscape.

SPRING START UPS

A Spring Start-Up is an essential service we offer to get your irrigation system ready for the season. To schedule your start-up, simply contact our office to set up a convenient date. A typical 4-8 zone system usually takes about 30 minutes unless repairs are needed. Owners of larger systems should expect the service to take longer.

A Spring Turn-On includes:

Turning on the water supply and checking for leaks
Programming the controller and setting the automatic schedule
Inspecting all sprinkler heads for proper adjustment and coverage, and clearing any obstructions
Conducting a full system leak check

This service ensures your system runs smoothly from the start, minimizing water waste and preventing neglect of your turf or plants. Think of it as a yearly tune-up. Since spring is a busy season, we recommend scheduling early to secure your spot. Even if you're not ready to start watering, we can set up and test your system, leaving it off until you're ready to go.

WINTERIZATIONS

As temperatures drop, it's crucial to winterize your irrigation system to avoid spring freeze damage. While some systems claim to be "self-draining," this can be risky due to clogged drains or trapped water. The best method is to blow out the system with an air compressor, which we guarantee for systems we install.

Professionals know the correct air pressure to safely clear the pipes. DIY methods often leave water behind, risking freeze damage. Proper winterization ensures a smooth spring start-up and saves you from costly repairs.
