A proper irrigation installation can be the difference between improvement and decline of plant material and turf. Irrigation is a common problem when assessing either turf or plant health. Other variables such as diseases and plant maturity can be the cause of poor health. However, irrigation is the most common cause.
​Irrigation installation can be extremely difficult. It seems easy in theory, but the results can vary because it requires a proper design to obtain optimum results. The challenge is in the strategic planning of the sprinkler installation before you even start to dig. Small areas can be as difficult as large areas.
Water pressure will affect the efficiency of your irrigation system. Every property is different, including water pressure. Water pressure is affected by the actual water pressure for the property and by differing ground levels.​ We customize each installation to maximize the best results.
​Our maintenance crews can modify existing irrigation systems by adjusting or replacing irrigation timers and sprinklers to maximize the utilization of water in landscapes while minimizing the cost found on the monthly water bills.
Drainage Solutions
​
Proper drainage is an essential component of your landscape. A dry well may be used to direct water which flows through a property. This will incorporate the use of perforated pipe, landscape fabric and oversized gravel into a trench which will allow the sub-surface water that is over a large area to be caught and redirected. The entire trench is then filled with oversized gravel.
