Sprinkler Repair

Sprinkler Evaluations- Our experts can identify weaknesses in your sprinkler system that will help you decide what actions you should take to save your landscape and your water. For example, we can test and evaluate how evenly your sprinkler’s spray covers the grassy areas, as well as the slopes and planters. We can also determine whether the spray heads have been poorly positioned or if the spray nozzle water outputs are mismatched. Our evaluation will also let you know if adding or eliminating a sprinkler head will remedy your problems.

Sprinkler Repair- Do you have a leak in a pipe, a valve that won’t turn on, a geyser where a lawn spray used to be? Our experts will quickly arrive and repair or replace what’s needed. While we are there we can also adjust or change a spray nozzle, install a new timer clock or even add an emergency shutoff valve.

Or maybe the seasons have changed and you need to readjust the programming on your sprinkler timer. Our technician can reset your clock to accommodate changes in the weather or to meet the latest water restrictions. We can also discuss how little water your plants can get by with, which can save you water and money.

Now there is an informed, intelligent way to apply the water the plants need…and only the amount they need. In most cases, that amount is less – substantially less – than what most people would guess is needed.

It is called evaporative transpiration (ET) science. It is the measurement of the loss of water from a plant and its environment. The losses are calculated on a daily or even hourly basis. Then, based on current weather conditions, amounts needed to replace lost moisture are figured and then scheduled. Scheduling is implemented to prevent any amount of waste and to promote maximum plant health and vitality.

This same technology has been applied by golf course managers for the last 15 years. It is also used daily by the agricultural community and recognized by the water management authorities as the way to most effectively take care of the plant AND reduce water use.
