Irrigation Repairs

Irrigation Repairs

  • We do most minor and even some major repair jobs on your irrigation system.

Irrigation Monitoring

Detect potential problems that help you prevent water waste, water runoff,
& sprinkler damage

  • Adjust clocks for seasonal irrigation needs, saving you more water overall
  • The less water you use, the more money you save!
  • Efficient water usage preserves natural resources and promotes the
    sustainability of our local water source.

Why early morning?

  • Reduced Evaporation: Temperatures are cooler, and winds are typically calmer in the early morning, minimizing evaporation.
  • Better Absorption: Water can penetrate the soil and reach the grass roots before the sun heats up.
  • Fewer Fungal Issues: Keeping grass dry overnight reduces the risk of fungal diseases. 

When to avoid watering:

  • Midday: Temperatures are highest, leading to significant evaporation.
  • Nighttime: Moisture can linger, increasing the risk of fungal diseases. 

Additional Tips:

  • Deep Watering: Aim for deep, infrequent watering to encourage strong root growth. 
  • Monitor Soil Moisture: Check the soil a few inches below to see if it’s moist. 
  • Adjust Watering Schedule: Adjust your watering schedule based on the weather, time of year, and your lawn’s needs. 
  • Consider a Smart Sprinkler System: Smart irrigation controllers can help optimize watering based on weather and other factors. 
  • Dormancy: If your lawn goes dormant during the summer, you can water it less frequently (once a month) to keep it alive. 

Rain Sensors

Save Money:

  • Whether you pay for city water or spend electricity running a
    pump, the money you save overtime will be more than the cost of the rain sensor!

Prolonging the Life of Your Irrigation System:

  • A rain sensor can reduce wear to your system because it runs only when necessary.

Reducing Nutrient Loss & Disease Damage:

  • Over-watering causes nutrients to be lost to wash away from the turf, requiring increased applications of fertilizer. It also retards deep root growth and increases lawn susceptibility to disease.
  • Over-watering has been called the most common cause of disease in turf.

Conserving Municipal Water:

  • By preventing unnecessary irrigation after rain
    events, rain sensors help ensure water availability for emergencies, such as
    firefighting, especially during the peak summer months.
