Why Choosing an Irrigation Contractor?
Irrigation professionals
An automatic watering system is a complex combination of pipes, valves, electrical connections and pop-up sprinklers. That is why it is important to have a professional contractor design and install your system.

SUCCESSFUL IRRIGATION

The contractor selects the most suitable products for your project based on the configuration of your landscaped area and the available flow and pressure.
Among other considerations, the contractor will make sure to :
Rain- Dig trenches at the proper depth.
- Divide your system, if necessary, into several watering zones.
- Minimize pressure loss and ensure sufficient pressure for proper sprinkler operation.
- Select the right sprinklers based on their performance (radius of throw, flow, etc.)
- Combine sprinklers with the same precipitation rate.
- Correctly space the sprinklers to ensure irrigation uniformity.
- Respect local electrical and plumbing codes.
- Anticipate possible system expansion.
