What are the benefits of an automatic irrigation system?

Irrigation systems can disperse water to your lawn evenly and regularly. This system uses less water than conventional sprinklers. You can also choose to water at off times, such as at dawn, when water use by other systems is the lowest.

What is fertigation?

Fertigation is a sprinkler system that incorporates irrigation with fertilization. We install a fertilizer tank in your watering system. When the water comes on, your lawn gets fertilized. No more messy bags of fertilizer and the trouble of putting it on your lawn!

What kind of maintenance is required if I have an irrigation system?

Typically, we need to maintain your system at least twice a year. It needs to be opened in the spring after the frost is gone, and winterized. Winterization requires blowing all water out of the system so the pipes won't freeze and get damaged.

If you have a fertigation system, we also need to add fertilizer during the spring and summer months.

Can I set up my system to water when I want to water?

Your irrigation system will be on a timer. You can set the timer to water at any time of day. You can set it to water on alternate days if restrictions are set by your community. You can even set different zones to water on different days.

What is a rain sensor?

A rain sensor is set up with your system so that if there has been adequate rain to water your lawn, the irrigation system will not turn on automatically. If the lawn is already wet, it does not need to be watered.
