Irrigation, Sprinkler, and Landscape Lighting Experts in Peoria, AZ

Irrigation systems actually conserve water. Most well-built irrigation systems are installed with a rain sensor that senses precipitation and factors weather conditions into operation. The system will even shut itself off when it is raining or if it has recently rained.

Steps that should be followed annually to keep your system running smoothly:

• Spring Start-Up – Spring maintenance includes start-up and inspection to ensure there is no winter damage and everything works correctly.

• Fall Inspection – An system inspection is done in August or September to ensure everything is working correctly, including all rotors turning, spray nozzles not clogged, and no leaks.

Yes. Landscaping changes over the years, and your system must change with it, ensuring your investment is kept healthy and green.

If you have a zone on, but your controller is off, the only way to shut off the water is to turn off the supply to the system from the water source.

Great care is taken to minimize the damage to our clients’ yards. The pipe is pulled into the ground using a vibratory plow that leaves a slit in your lawn, which should heal within a week or two after the work is completed. Sod is replaced around sprinkler heads, and soil and seed are applied where needed. We aim to leave your lawn in the same or better condition than when we arrived.

Yes.

We have over 30 years of combined experience in the irrigation and landscape lighting field.

We work on all irrigation systems from Two wire and golf course to drip and garden irrigation.

I can’t find any breaks in the system, but these areas are not getting wet.

Usually, improper placement of the sprinklers, nozzles are clogged, or the landscape has grown, and the system is ineffective. Irrigation systems need to be improved as the landscape matures. New heads must be added, some raised, some lowered, etc.

The cost of a lighting system depends on what you want and how long you want fixtures and transformers warranted. They are not the cheapest, but they dramatically affect your home.

Absolutely!

We do offer maintenance plans. We visit your property monthly, set controllers to local codes, test systems, and detailed repair quotes if needed, and ensure proper coverage.

Drip irrigation is an efficient irrigation method for planting beds. Water is delivered from pressure-compensating emitters inside the brown ½-inch piping installed at the beds’ surface. A drip zone provides specific control and even watering throughout the beds. We have been installing drip zones for over 15 years.

It is usually located near the water meter. The water supply to the system can also be shut off at the RPZ/backflow device.

Check the date and time of day (AM or PM) indicated on the controller, as it may need to be reset. Refer to the owner’s manual for programming instructions. If you don’t have a manual, access the appropriate manufacturer’s website via our “Product Information” links.

We can install a water-saving rain sensor in your system. The sensor can be adjusted to react to rainfall between 1/8 and 1 inch. The sensor acts when it absorbs the designated amount of moisture and will halt or prevent watering until it evaporates sufficiently. If the sensor bypass function has been selected, the rain sensor will not operate.

Most timers/controllers require three programmed events to run a program automatically. They are:

• What day or days to run;

• What time of day to run (Start time);

• Each zone’s station/zone run times duration (length of time) to run.

All 3 of these must be present and the timer set to Run or Auto for a program to work.

Any heads or valve box tops in the lawn can be damaged when contacted by these machines. These parts should be marked with flags so your contractor can avoid these areas. Do not use spray paint to mark head locations because the paint on the riser can make the heads stick up.
