It is crucial to protect our most precious resource, water. An automatic irrigation system will not use more water. If properly designed and managed, it will reduce your water consumption from your current hand watering routines.
Yes, there are many types of water sources available to irrigate your landscape. A well system is the most cost effective way to irrigate your property.
Yes, we will design your system for matched precipitation, which means that even water will be distributed throughout your landscape.
No, though your landscape needs less water in the winter because of decreased temperatures, it still needs water to survive. The length and frequency of watering can be decreased because there is a decrease in the environmental conditions, but you can’t just shut it off.

On average, most residential systems can be installed in 1 to 2 days. There is no long term damage and turf recovers relatively quickly. The trench that we dig will not exceed 4” in width.
Just like your vehicle, your irrigation system needs maintenance. From the controller to the heads, there are hydraulic driven parts that need to be maintained. Check out our irrigation maintenance page for more information.
Programming your controller is simple. First, set the date and time. Then, select which days of the week you want the system to run. Next set what time you want it to run and how long each zone should run for.
There are several reasons why this can happen. You may have lost power from the source. The transformer in your controller could be bad. There could potentially be a blown fuse. The controller may need to be reset.
Determining the run time for each zone is more than just setting the controller. As a homeowner the best way is to put out catch cans (tuna cans) and run the system for a ten minute test run. The goal is to water ¾ of an inch. After your test run time figure out how much water is in your test can. Once you have determined the amount of water figure how long will it take to fill the can to ¾ of an inch. Take that same number and times it by your 10 min. Example, your can filled up to ½ of an inch in ten minutes and you want to apply ¾ of an inch. Based on the results of ½ you will need to run that zone for 15 minutes.
There are several reasons why this can happen. The rain sensor may be wet, water supply may be shut off, valve may be malfunctioning, potential cut wire, possible bad wire connection, or controller could not be transmitting enough power.
This will vary depending on the water source. If it is supplied by the municipality then your shut off would be a curbside water meter or at the pressure vacuum breaker (PVB). If it is pump then the power to the pump must be shut down.
You should turn off that zone until the break is fixed. By running this zone you will waste a huge amount of water not benefiting the landscape.
First, turn the controller to OFF. If the water continues to run, turn the water off at the valve or point of connection such as the water meter.
We are happy to inspect your system and determine the cause of the issue.
MP rotators are more efficient because they distribute water at a slow distribution rate. This allows water to absorb deeper into the soil to the root system. With traditional spray heads, water is distributed at a faster application rate. Therefore, much water is wasted due to runoff and mist. For more information, visit out MP Rotator page.
