Drip System Maintenance for DC Ranch & North Scottsdale

The landscape of DC Ranch and Silverleaf is stunning, blending seamless with the McDowell Mountains. But the rocky soil and elevation changes present unique irrigation challenges.

Pressure Regulation is Critical

Due to elevation changes in the foothills, water pressure can fluctuate wildly. High pressure can blow out drip emitters and crack poly tubing. We install pressure regulators on every valve to ensure a consistent 25-30 PSI, protecting your system from damage.

Hard Water and Clogged Emitters

North Scottsdale water is hard. Calcium deposits can quickly clog standard drip emitters, starving your palo verdes and agaves. We recommend using self-flushing emitters and checking them quarterly to ensure flow.

Wildlife Damage

Thirsty desert critters like rabbits and pack rats often chew through drip lines to get to water. If you see a sudden geyser or a dying plant, check for teeth marks on the tubing. We can bury lines deeper or use reinforced tubing to deter pests.
