Irrigation Systems
Smart irrigation installs and spring start-ups that cut water bills instead of lawns' corners.
An irrigation system done right waters the roots, not the sidewalk, and does it before sunrise without you thinking about it. We install zoned systems that treat the lawn, the beds, and the pots as the different problems they are: spray heads for turf, drip lines for beds and planters, and a controller that adjusts with the season.
We also service and repair existing systems: broken heads, weeping valves, dead zones, and controllers from three owners ago that nobody knows how to program. Spring startup and a proper fall shutdown keep a system healthy for decades, and both are quick scheduled visits we handle in volume every year.

Common Questions
The coast is wet from October to May and then bone dry exactly when everything is trying to grow. Summer is when lawns brown off and new plantings die, and hand watering a whole yard through a dry July gets old by the second week. Irrigation exists for the months the rain forgets.
Our winters are mild, but the cold snaps we do get are exactly what cracks exposed backflow preventers and shallow fittings. A proper fall shutdown drains the system and protects the exposed components; it is a quick visit that prevents the most avoidable repair we see every spring.
Yes. Most repair calls are on systems we have never seen before. We trace the zones, map what the previous owner never documented, and leave you with a system that is labeled and programmed properly.
