Irrigation design · installation · repair

Put water where the landscape can use it.

Efficient irrigation protects the garden, reduces waste, and responds to the distinct conditions of each planting zone.

What we look for

  • Coverage gaps and overspray
  • Leaks, line breaks, and failing valves
  • Plant needs by zone
  • Pressure, scheduling, and seasonal demand

The work

Diagnose first. Then solve the whole problem.

01

System design & installation

Zones matched to plant water needs, exposure, soil, and the way the landscape is used.

02

Repair & diagnostics

Broken heads, leaking valves, line failures, and control problems found and corrected.

03

Drip irrigation

Targeted delivery for beds, trees, and shrubs with less evaporation.

04

Smart controls & audits

Weather-aware scheduling and a practical assessment of efficiency, coverage, and waste.

A closer look

Repair, upgrade, or redesign?

Begin with the problem you can observe: a dry area, a leaking valve, runoff onto paving, or a schedule that no longer suits the garden. An assessment should identify the cause before recommending replacement. A working system may need focused repairs, while a garden that has changed substantially may need different zones and delivery methods.

Match delivery to the planting

Drip and overhead irrigation serve different situations. Consider plant spacing, root zones, pressure, slope, and the rate at which the soil accepts water. Group plants with similar needs and exposure where practical. A single schedule is unlikely to suit both new planting and established areas without adjustment.

A controller is only part of the system

Weather-aware controls can support more responsive scheduling, but they do not repair a leak or correct poor coverage. Programming should reflect the actual zones and conditions. Ask for a clear zone record and an explanation of how schedules will be reviewed as the weather changes and plants establish.

Prepare for an assessment

Bring the controller model, any existing zone map, recent water-use records, and notes about where problems recur. If you are considering a rebate, check the requirements with the provider named on your water bill before equipment is purchased. Eligibility, approval timing, and funding should be confirmed for the specific project.
