A sprinkler system is an underground network of pipes connected to your water supply. These pipes are fitted with above-ground sprinkler heads, which spray water onto your lawn when the system is turned on. Your sprinkler system can be set to a timer so that you know when your yard is getting the water it needs.
The benefits of a sprinkler system include:
- Time-saving: Your lawn irrigation system will handle all the watering for you.
- Save water: An automatic sprinkler system uses less water than watering by hand.
- Money-saving: Your water bills will be lower now you’re not watering with a hose.
- Safety: You won't have to worry about your family and friends tripping over hoses stretched across your landscape.
- Optimal watering: You can set your sprinkler system to run early in the morning when the sun is down. Not only will evaporation be minimal, but it will also reduce the risk of waterlogging and spreading disease throughout your lawn.
- Water while you’re away: There’s no need to worry about your lawn while working away from home or on vacation; your sprinkler system will handle everything.
We can also provide a drip irrigation system, as it's an efficient way to deliver water directly to the roots of your lawn or plants. The system consists of a series of underground hoses that drip water slowly into the soil. Because the water is delivered slowly, a drip system reduces evaporation. We can customize your drip irrigation system with different-sized water emitters to suit different types of grass or species of plants.
Not only does a drip irrigation system conserve water, but it also helps to prevent the spread of disease due to damp leaves. Whichever type of irrigation system you choose, we can design it to be as sustainable as possible based on the following:
- The type and shape of your lawn
- Your landscape design
- The size of your lawn or flower beds
- Your soil type
- Your hydration requirements
Sprinkler System Repair
Your lawn will only look as good as the sprinkler system allows, as it can show signs of ill health if you have a poorly designed sprinkler system. A lawn irrigation system customized to suit your lawn hydration needs can be essential in ensuring prolonged health.
We can design a sprinkler or drip system to give your lawn the right amount of water at the right time. If you already have a lawn irrigation system and it’s not up to par, we can repair or replace it with a customized watering solution to suit your home or commercial landscape.
Once your lawn sprinkler system is installed, it will need regular maintenance to make sure it lasts longer and gives you accurate watering. However, sometimes things can go wrong. For example, your sprinkler heads’ movement may be restricted, you may be getting too much or too little water pressure, or your sprinkler’s time may not work correctly.
