Professionally Designed

When designing a system, the professional irrigation contractor considers many issues including:

• Water pressure and source
• Backflow prevention (to protect drinking water)
• The nature of the soil
• Landscaping materials
• Proposed sprinkler patterns (to ensure outer edges receive plenty of water for maximum health)
• Seasonal and weather conditions.

While every system is intended to meet the unique needs of each client, a typical automatic sprinkler system consists of a controller (to monitor and regulate its activity), valves (which control the flow of water to underground pipes) and sprinklers (to evenly dispense water to particular areas). The contractor programs the controller with a customized watering schedule suited for the client. He will explain the system’s operation and provide easy instructions for changing the schedule should it become necessary.
