Here are several key characteristics to look for when evaluating the water efficiency of a lawn sprinkler system:

Matched-Precipitation Rate Sprinkler Heads
All sprinkler heads on a given circuit should be the same type (e.g. rotors, pop-up spray, etc.) and have matched precipitation rate (in inches per hour). Heads with differing precipitation rates have widely varying operating times, which can lead to the over-watering of one area in order to sufficiently water another.

Head-to-Head Coverage
Turf pop-up sprinkler systems are designed to operate with head-to-head coverage, where the spray from one sprinkler head reaches to the next, resulting in necessary overlap. Precipitation rates are based on the assumption of overlap. Places where the sprinkler's spray pattern does not overlap are likely not getting sufficient water and may develop brown dry spots. These spots indicate the system has low "uniformity" of coverage. To compensate, one has to run the sprinklers for longer times to get adequate water to the dry spots, while the rest of the lawn is getting over-watered.

Sprinkler Installation Services

Our systems are professionally designed. We use only commercial parts and we use head-to-head coverage. This simply means that we use enough heads to efficiently irrigate your property, not just a head over here and another way over there

We price our jobs by the number of zones (watering stations), not by the hour. Our rates will vary slightly depending on the difficulty of your landscaping (e.g. boring under driveways, concrete walls, drilling past and cutting through large tree roots, etc). Most yards are about 4 to 7 zones .

The goal of a well-designed system is to simulate a light rainfall. In order to do that there needs to be even irrigation. This is where head-head coverage comes into play. This is the key to a good design. Without good design, you will have dry spots. Some areas will be too wet, and others too dry.

Basically we are performing "surgery" on your lawn. However with the care we take in cutting the sod, your yard will quickly recover and be green and full in a very short period of time.

We use only the highest quality parts in your system, which allows us to stand behind our work.

Our installations generally take about two days. We won't start yours and then leave and go and start another. We give 100% attention to the installation of your system. There are times when we get a good rain shower while we are working on an installation. It is at these times that we do not finish in two to three days. We have to stop work and cover the open trenches in order to prevent flooding. Once the ground absorbs the water, then we continue the job.

Upon completion we do a total walk-through with you and show you how to operate your timer and all emergency shut-off valves. A list of zones is supplied to you with suggested watering times as well as your warranty.

No matter how big or small the customer, each receives the same time, care and dedication from our team. We're committed to your satisfaction. We encourage our customers, at any time during process, to contact us with any questions or concerns you might have.

What happens now?

From your first phone call to our office, you will see the time, care and dedication we put into servicing our customers.

If it's an estimate that you need, an appointment will be made with our knowledgeable staff.

Our first step is to visit your property and discuss the parameters of your project. At this point, our main goal is to learn about your objectives, address concerns, answer any questions you might have, and begin to formulate specific design requirements for your particular irrigation system.

We make sure that all systems are installed with the needs of the customer as their first priority. We will discuss the areas to be covered and the areas not to be included, once we are given the opportunity, the install process begins.

We arrange for and secure all the necessary permits with your town and coordinate with you to schedule an install date that is convenient for you. When that day arrives the installation crew will arrive to begin the installation, which should run as smoothly as possible.

The location of the controller, plumbing, valves, sprinkler heads, and rain gauge (if Applicable) will also be determined at this time. A licensed plumber will be instructed on the system to be installed.

As a final installation step, we provide you with complete training to be sure you're comfortable with the overall operation of your irrigation system including the use of the controller, as well as the location of the system components and how to make minor adjustments.

The system is also covered by a two year guarantee against defects in material.
