It is paramount to have a properly designed irrigation system that will keep your yard and plants healthy and vibrant.
SPRINKLER SYSTEMS affordable and efficient water delivery
Water is your plant’s lifeblood. Naturally, it is paramount to have a properly designed irrigation system that will keep your plants healthy and vibrant. This also means your system should reduce risk of pest and disease damage and even protect the quality of your soil, all while reducing workload.
Poorly designed systems are failure-prone, can over- or under-water, and can even flood or erode landscaped areas. In most cases, low water pressure is the main reason for irrigation problems.
Before you plant, your soil should be tested for drainage and absorbencies, and this will also help identify optimal ways to provide irrigation to the area. Irrigation design is fairly complex, requiring expert knowledge of pipe size and material, ways of boosting water pressure, routing and concealing irrigation plumbing and hardware, safety and water quality protection.
Building codes may require anti-siphon or back flow devices, so surface water won’t be pulled back into water lines and residential plumbing. That sort of problem is not unusual; anytime dogs run in yards with sprinklers, contamination may occur.
Our goal for a landscape irrigation plan is 100 percent survival rate of plants, using the minimum amount of water to do the job. Underground and aboveground pipes, valves, drains, controllers and electrical wiring are all elements in a landscape irrigation system.
Today, most new landscape irrigation systems utilize timers and remotely operated valves, saving gardeners the repetitive task of turning irrigation on and off. Generally, watering should be done every other day and programmable units can be set for this or any other duration and frequency.
Our landscape designer will walk you through the programming process and once it is up and running, how to fine-tune it, as needed. Flood-type, micro-drip and spray, rotary, and conventional sprayers are the four main types of landscape irrigation systems used. Which is best for you depends on many factors.
