A sprinkler system uses a network of underground pipes and sprinkler heads to distribute water evenly across your lawn or landscape. The system is controlled by an automatic timer that activates different zones at scheduled times, ensuring efficient and consistent watering based on your property’s needs.
Early morning, before the sun rises, is the best time to water your lawn. Watering at this time allows moisture to soak into the soil before evaporation occurs, helping reduce water waste and promoting healthier turf.
An irrigation controller is the device that turns your sprinkler system on and off automatically and controls how long each zone runs. It allows watering schedules to be set by time, duration, and day, helping ensure consistent and efficient coverage across your landscape.
Modern Rain Bird® electronic controllers are reliable and easy to use, with simple dial or button controls. They can also be programmed for advanced features such as short watering cycles, which help reduce runoff on slopes and improve water efficiency for today’s water-conscious landscapes.
A sprinkler nozzle controls how water is distributed from each sprinkler head, including the spray pattern, distance, and amount of water applied. Different nozzles are used to ensure even coverage across lawns and planting areas while minimizing water waste. Selecting the correct nozzle helps improve efficiency, reduce runoff, and keep your landscape healthy.
Valves control the flow of water to each zone of an irrigation system, allowing different areas of your property to be watered separately. When a zone is scheduled to run, the corresponding valve opens to deliver water, then closes once watering is complete.
Most modern irrigation systems use automatic valves that are controlled by the irrigation controller, allowing the system to operate on a set schedule without manual operation. Proper valve selection and installation help ensure reliable performance and consistent water distribution throughout the system.
A rain sensor is a device that helps prevent unnecessary watering by pausing your irrigation system when rainfall is detected. When enough rain has fallen, the sensor temporarily interrupts the system’s operation, allowing watering to resume once conditions are appropriate.
Rain sensors help conserve water, reduce runoff, and protect your landscape from overwatering. Many modern irrigation systems include rain sensors as a standard feature or can be easily upgraded to include one.
Yes. We can install rain sensors on both new and existing irrigation systems. Rain sensors help prevent overwatering by automatically pausing the system when sufficient rainfall is detected, improving efficiency and conserving water.
Modern irrigation systems typically use two main types of sprinkler heads: spray sprinklers and rotary sprinklers. The type used depends on the size of the area, water pressure, and landscape layout.
Spray sprinklers distribute water in a fixed spray pattern and are commonly used in smaller areas such as lawns, planting beds, and narrow spaces. They provide quick, even coverage and usually pop up during watering, then retract below ground level afterward.
Rotary sprinklers are designed for larger, open areas. They release water in a rotating stream, allowing it to travel farther with less runoff. Rotary heads operate more slowly and efficiently, making them ideal for larger lawns or areas with slopes.
Our team selects sprinkler types and spacing based on your property’s layout and water conditions to ensure proper coverage, efficiency, and long-term system performance.
The most appropriate sprinkler depends on factors such as the size and shape of the area being watered, plant type, soil conditions, and available water pressure. During the design process, we select sprinkler heads that provide even coverage while maximizing efficiency for your specific landscape.
A properly designed irrigation system includes a controller, valves, underground piping, sprinkler heads or drip components, and appropriate backflow protection. Additional features such as rain sensors or drip irrigation may be included depending on your property and watering needs.
A pump is only required if your property has low or inconsistent water pressure or if your irrigation system draws water from an alternative source such as a lake, river, or cistern. Most properties supplied by municipal water do not require a pump. Our team can assess your system and determine whether a pump is needed.
Yes. Irrigation systems can be designed to draw water from lakes, rivers, or cisterns using a properly designed pump system. These systems are tailored to the water source and property requirements to ensure consistent pressure and reliable operation.
Low-voltage landscape lighting is very energy efficient. Most residential systems cost only a few dollars per month to operate, depending on system size and usage.
Yes. Low-voltage landscape lighting is very safe for residential use. Operating at 12 volts, it significantly reduces the risk of electrical shock compared to standard household voltage. When professionally installed, low-voltage systems are safe around plants, pets, children, and outdoor living areas.
Yes. Landscape lighting can be added to existing landscaping with minimal disruption. Our team carefully installs wiring and fixtures to avoid damage to lawns, gardens, and hardscaping. Lighting can be customized to highlight existing trees, walkways, gardens, and architectural features without the need for major excavation.
