Irrigation
Expert Irrigation System Installation
With many areas facing droughts, water usage restrictions, and rising utility costs, conserving water is the only sensible solution. Efficient sprinkler systems will reduce your water consumption and, in turn, save you money.
A professionally-designed irrigation system will feature:
● Minimal water runoff
● Little, if any, evaporation
● Deep percolation
By hiring our irrigation specialists to design and install a professional irrigation system at your residence, you can ensure your plants, trees, flowers, and foliage receive an adequate water supply directly at their roots.
Types of Irrigation Available
● Spray Irrigation – This popular type of irrigation system that distributes water over your landscaping in a manner similar to rainfall. Spray irrigation applies water over a designated area through a sprinkler head.
● Drip Irrigation – This method of irrigation delivers water directly to the root of your plant through pipes known as “dripelines.” Less water is typically required with drip irrigation due to the reduced run-off.
● Rotary Nozzle Irrigation – This system uses a specific type of sprinkler with a rotary nozzle. The nozzle is able to rotate and uniformly distribute water over a larger surface area than traditional sprinkler heads.
● Micro Irrigation – Micro irrigation can utilize the mechanics of any of the systems above, but does so in a low-flow manner. This localized, low-volume method delivers water slowly over a period of time, preventing run-off.
How does Drip Irriagtion work?
Drip irrigation works exactly like it sounds. Drips of water are slowly released at the root zone of plants and trees. By strategically placing the water where it is needed most, the system eliminates excessive water usage at areas of the landscape that don’t need it.
Drip irrigation reduces water consumption and performs with greater efficiency than traditional irrigation systems. Water will penetrate deeper into the soil which, as an added bonus, will stimulate deeper plant root growth.
A drip system only requires a low flow of water, enabling the watering of large areas using just a single water source. With drip irrigation, you are also no longer restricted in the time of day you can use your irrigation system.
What Are the Benefits of a Drip Irrigation System?
- Water Efficiency – Applying slow drips of water directly where it is needed eliminates runoff and leads to reduced evaporation from soil and leaves.
- Utility Cost Savings – By reducing water consumption, you will quickly see your water bill will decrease accordingly.
- Environmentally-Friendly – When compared to traditional sprinkler systems, drip irrigation uses less water, therefore has a reduced environmental impact.
- Eliminate Weeds – By targeting just the root base with water, weeds no longer receive the moisture needed to spread.
- Eliminate Water-Borne Pests – Drip irrigation reduces standing water i.e. the breeding grounds for mosquitos and other water-borne pests.
- Versatile and Flexible – Slow drip irrigation systems can be installed on both new and existing landscapes, easily adapting to sloped, rugged, and wind-prone terrains.
- Stimulate Plant Growth – As water penetrates deep, down to the root, you will notice an overall improvement and increase in plant growth.
What Does a Drip Irrigation System Cost?
Rest easy knowing an investment in a new drip irrigation system will benefit your home for many years to come. Our professionally designed and installed drip systems are more efficient and more effective than a traditional sprinkler system.
Also keep in mind, you will not be restricted in your use of a drip irrigation system–our state of Texas allows their use even during drought restrictions!
The exact cost of a drip irrigation system can vary based on many factors including:
- Exact yard size
- Slope and texture of terrain
- Local soil type
- Presence of large trees or shrubs
