Q. Will having a sprinkler system really
save time?
A. Yes, having an automatic sprinkler system means never
having to spend another minute of your valuable time watering the
lawn or flowers. Your new system will do all of the watering for
you - even when you're away from home. You'll be able to just forget
about watering and spend your free time doing the things you really
like to do.
Q. Can I still have an underground sprinkler
system installed if I have an existing landscape/lawn? Won't you
damage my yard?
A. A minimal amount of disturbance to your landscape will
occur during installation. Our specialized machinery installs pipe
without digging a trench. Also our crews are experienced at restoring
your landscape to its original condition.
Q. Can my sprinkler system water separate areas
on individual schedules?
A. The sprinkler system will be set up on different zones.
There can be different zones for the lawn, shrubs and flowers. Each
of these zones can have a different time schedule for watering.Q.
How do I know what type of system is best for me?
A. It's always best to work with a professional irrigation
contractor. He is knowledgeable about such factors as water source
and pressure, soil type, planting materials and weather conditions,
all of which must be considered in determining the products needed
for your system. Remember, an irrigation system should be customized
to meet specific requirements because every landscaping situation
is different.
Q. Why is it important to hire a professional
irrigation designer?
A. Your professional irrigation contractor will design and
install the most cost-effective and energy-efficient system possible.
You can be certain that he will select the appropriate equipment
for the job, while streamlining the maintenance required to keep
your landscaping looking magnificient.
He will pay special attention to such important factors
as sprinkler patterns (it is important to overlap the patterns so
that the outer edges receive sufficient water for healthy growth)
and backflow prevention (which is necessary to protect your drinking
water supply). Because your contractor is familiar with local plumbing
and electrical codes, you won't have to worry about costly mistakes
in wiring or pipe installation. He can do the job faster, with less
disruption to existing landscaping, and will guarantee his work.
Q. What is a rain shut-off?
A. A rain shut-off is a device that will interrupt the program
on the clock during a rain shower. It will automatically reset when
it is dry therefore avoiding water waste.
Q. Will the system be too complicated for me
to operate?
A. Sprinkler systems are very easy to operate. Your contractor
will set the system's controller with your individual water schedule.
Then all you have to do is sit back and let the system do all the
work. And, the watering schedule easily can be changed if necessary
by just following the easy instruction on the inside of the controlled
cabinet. Your contractor will work with you to explain the system's
operation.
Q. How much will a good system cost?
A. The price of a system will vary depending upon labor costs
and other factors such as property size, type of landscaping and
special designs. But you can count on your irrigation contractor
to design and recommend the right system for you at the lowest possible
cost.
