Irrigation In Nothing But A Fancy Name For Sprinklers

Whether you’re growing flowers to win prizes in your 11-acre state or just trying to keep a window flowerbed looking good year round, we have the irrigation solution for you. Yes… Irrigation is a way to transport water to provide water to places that would not otherwise sustain some species of plants.

Moreover irrigation system is the technical name to your sprinkler system; therefore, when we say irrigation, make a mental image of a sprinkler system, that works for urban places.

Irrigation Finding The Right Set Up

Our well planned, properly installed, appropriately programmed, and correctly maintained systems save your time and your money, not to mention your landscaping – all by distributing water efficiently.

Imagine having control over where, when, and how much water is supplied to each plant: Instead of flooding the ground all at once, you can apply a small amount of water over long periods of time, allowing moisture to soak into root zones for maximum efficacy, minimal runoff and evaporation, and ultimately, reduced water usage. And healthy, happy plants.

Outdoor water is where the water goes

In the inland valleys, landscape irrigation is typically the largest share of a household's water use, and it is also where the largest waste happens, because nobody watches it. It runs before dawn, and a broken head can water the sidewalk for months before anyone notices.

Which means irrigation is the one system where a small amount of attention produces a large and permanent reduction in the bill.

Where the waste actually is

• Broken and misaligned heads, watering pavement and fences. The single biggest loss and the easiest to fix

• Overspray and runoff, which is water leaving the property before it reaches a root

• A controller still set for July in November. Seasonal adjustment is the highest-value five minutes in the whole system

• Zones that mix plant types, so everything gets watered for whatever is thirstiest

• Leaks in the lateral lines, which are invisible because they are underground

• Watering in the middle of the day, when most of it evaporates before it does anything

Zones are the part that gets designed wrong

A zone should group plants that want the same amount of water, in the same sun exposure, on the same kind of head.

Most existing systems were laid out by area instead: the front, the side, the back. That guarantees that lawn and shrubs, or full sun and deep shade, are on the same valve, and the whole zone runs to satisfy whichever plant needs the most.

• Spray heads and rotors deliver water at very different rates and should never share a zone

• Drip and spray on the same valve is the most common design error, and it means one of them is always wrong

• Slopes need shorter, repeated cycles so water soaks in instead of running off. On the clay soils common here, that is not optional

Drip, and why it fits this climate

For shrubs, trees and beds, drip delivers water at the root instead of into the air, which matters a great deal in a place where summer afternoons run past 100 degrees.

It also needs maintenance that spray does not: emitters clog, lines get cut by shovels, and because it is under mulch, a failure is invisible until a plant dies. A filter and a pressure regulator on the drip zone are what make it reliable, and they are what gets skipped.

Smart controllers are worth it, once the hardware is right

A weather-based controller adjusts run times to actual conditions instead of a fixed schedule, and it is the single most effective upgrade available. Many water districts in this region have offered rebates toward them.

But a smart controller on a broken system just wastes water more precisely. Fix the heads, the coverage and the zoning first, then automate.

Where irrigation meets everything else in the yard

Irrigation that overshoots onto hardscape, or that saturates soil against a foundation, is a drainage problem wearing a landscaping costume: drainage installations and repair.

And if part of the lawn is being replaced with synthetic turf, the irrigation for that area should be capped properly rather than left running under it, which is a surprisingly common discovery: artificial turf and yard drainage.

On a full yard project, irrigation goes in with the underground work, before the hardscape, not after: planning a backyard in Riverside County.
