Irrigation

 What would you say if I could save you hundreds of dollars a year in wasted irrigation water? How? Through thoughtful the application of these simple design principles:
 

 Uniform coverage refers to the consistent and equal distribution of water throughout a given area. When the coverage is uniform, equal amounts of water fall at equal rates everywhere. When coverage is not uniform, the system must operate as long and as frequently as it takes to maintain minimum coverage in the weakest areas. This causes excessive over watering, (flooding), in the stronger areas. Example: If a poorly designed system must run 15 minutes every day, then a well-designed system may only require 10 minutes once or twice a week. We apply this principle to every irrigation design.

Hydro zoning refers to the separation of areas with different water requirements so that they can operate completely independent of one another. Some examples of areas with very different water needs are: grass, flowers, shrubs and groundcovers, sunny areas, shady areas, exposed areas, enclosed areas, pots, slopes...etc. Your grass does not need to be watered nearly as often as your flowers, and your shady areas not nearly as often as your sunny ones. Our irrigation designs reflect the specific needs of each site with flexibility for future landscape changes.
 
Irrigation scheduling refers to the programming of an irrigation system to reflect the various water requirements throughout your yard. We combine our extensive knowledge of plant needs, soil properties, and seasonal considerations with our irrigation expertise to provide the optimum watering schedule tailored to each sites individual needs.
 
New Irrigation Systems
 
Do it right the first time! The above principles among others are rarely incorporated in new systems because it adds to the cost. Don't take the low bid unless the contract obligates the designer to use them. Don't pay if the system you receive does not reflect them. Demand the system to be hydro-zoned correctly and the coverage uniform.

Landscape And Irrigation Services will submit a plan for your approval before work begins. We will work with you and the site to provide a superior irrigation system designed and installed to the highest standards.

 Remember that a poorly designed system will cost hundreds of dollars more to operate every year. Every Year! Contact us to meet the designer and receive a free proposal.

 
Renovate or Reconfigure
 
Is the performance of your existing system under whelming? The good news is you don't have to live with it. Contact us and our experienced licensed irrigation specialist will be happy to inspect and evaluate your system for free. A detailed report with recommendations and a proposal will be provided. The above principles can usually be retrofitted to an existing system. Remember, this investment may save you hundreds of dollars a year.
 
Service and Repair
 
Contact us for your service and repair needs. Our licensed irrigation specialist will call to schedule an appointment to perform the repairs. For larger projects, an estimate will be provided before work begins. Smaller jobs will be billed by time and material.
 
     Service Plans are available and can be custom tailored to your preference. Many of our clients enjoy the serenity of monthly, quarterly, or seasonal tune-ups. During these visits the system will be inspected for performance, coverage, and problems. Minor adjustments to spray patterns and controller programs as well as any necessary repairs and modifications can be done before a problem causes additional damage to the system or the landscape.
 Drip Irrigation
 
We also have developed many innovative techniques to get water to pots and hanging baskets. Imagine having all your pots, hanging baskets, and planters discretely irrigated automaticly.

Our Procedure

  1. 1.   Contact Gary Orsborn by phone or email to discuss your needs.    
  2. 2.   Schedule an on site appointment to facilitate the estimating process. Often, estimates for the less complicated projects can be produced at this meeting.
  3. 3.   Some projects require more research or additional visits with our Degreed Landscape Architect, which will result in detailed Design Plans and proposals.
  4. 4.   After all the details are settled and a contract is signed, the project will be placed on our schedule and preliminary arrangements made with regard to utilities, materials, equipment...etc.
  5. 5.   The project will be professionally executed with supervision and communication maintained from beginning to end.
  6. 6.   Finally, Gary Orsborn will conduct a walk-thru to personally present the finished product to the owner. Training, explanation of equipment or plant care and maintenance information will be done at this time.
