An automatic watering (irrigation) system uses underground pipes, valves, and a central controller to automatically turn on and off based on a programmed schedule. Once installed, the system handles all your watering needs—even when you’re away—saving you hours of time you would have spent dragging hoses and sprinklers around your yard.

No. In fact, a professionally designed and installed system often uses less water. It applies the precise amount of water needed, preventing runoff and waste. Additionally, we install rain and soil moisture sensors that shut the system off when it rains or the ground is already wet.

Professional installation ensures the system is custom-designed based on your property's specific needs, including water pressure, soil type, and sun exposure. We properly establish watering zones, select the correct heads for even coverage, and ensure all local plumbing codes and backflow prevention requirements are met, maximizing efficiency and preventing costly damage.

A zone is a separate area of your landscape that is watered independently. We design zones to group plants with similar needs (e.g., sunny lawn, shaded garden bed, drip for shrubs). This ensures that water-hungry areas get sufficient moisture without overwatering the rest of your landscape.

Sprinkler systems use pop-up heads for broad coverage, ideal for lawns and large turf areas. Drip irrigation uses a network of tubes and small emitters to apply water directly to the plant root zone, which is ideal for garden beds, trees, and shrubs, as it conserves more water and prevents leaf diseases.

A smart controller is a Wi-Fi enabled system that automatically adjusts your watering schedule by integrating with real-time local weather data or on-site sensors. This is highly recommended as it prevents wasteful watering during rain events or drought restrictions, further optimizing water use and lowering your utility bills.

The most effective time to water is in the early morning, typically between 4:00 AM and 6:00 AM. Water pressure is highest, and evaporation is lowest, allowing the soil to absorb moisture deeply before the sun gets hot. Watering at night is discouraged as it can leave leaves wet, promoting fungal growth.
