Evergreen Lawns

Gone are the days when a homes landscaping was left to fend for itself.  Like everything else, landscaping and plant cost have gone through the roof over the past decade, and thus our need to ensure their livelyhood and growth has never been more important.

Plant Nourishment:

All plants, even Cactus, require water to some degree or another to survive.  A properly designed irrigation system that is installed by a qualified and licensed irrigator will deliver just the right amount of water needed for the plant to survive and thrive, yet help prevent over watering which so commonly happens with hand watering.

Controls:

Most modern irrigation systems are controlled by a system timer or clock, which automatically activates the sprinkler system at a pre-determined time.  Dependant on the type of irrigation a particular zone is, the controller can allow the system to run from 1 minute to several hours.   Systems incorporating “Drip Irrigation” techniques will require extended run time as there particular watering method is to allow only small amounts of water, or drips to escape from the emitter.  This slow watering technique allows for deep root penetration of the moisture as well as cuts down on water loss due to evaporation.

Normal spray heads and rotors operate by flowing large amounts of water over an area of the landscape, thus these type of sprinklers have much shorter run times per zone then  do their relatives the “Drip Irrigation”.  With interchangeable spray nozzles, it is easy to offer just the right amount of water to a particular plant species.
