Sprinkler System Services

Irrigation systems are automatic watering systems designed to deliver a controlled flow of water for the growth of plants. Growing emphasis on water conservation is making it more important than ever to use the most suitable irrigation system for lawns and gardens. While above-ground spray systems have been the traditional choice for water application, in-ground applications like drip irrigation are gaining in popularity because of the unique cost and water conservation advantages these systems offer. This guide will explain the difference between in-ground and above-ground irrigation systems, the basic components used in each system, the applications they are best used for, and what to look for in making your selection.

In-ground Irrigation
An in-ground irrigation system disperses water through sprinklers attached to risers connected to a network of underground pipes that run throughout your lawn. It can also include a drip system that disperses water through emitters directly to plants' root zones in a slow, precise application, producing deeper root growth and more abundant foliage for garden favorites like perennials, annuals, shrubs, and ground covers. When properly designed, drip irrigation maintains an optimum balance of water and air in the root zone while reducing water wasted due to the sun and wind.

Drip irrigation offers many money- and time-saving benefits. Delivering water directly to plant roots saves you money by reducing up to 70% in water waste from evaporation and run-off. It saves you time by replacing hand watering, and reduces yard maintenance by delivering water directly to plants, reducing weed growth.

An in-ground irrigation system is composed of:

• Valves
• Pipe and Fittings
• Sprinklers
• Risers and Flex Assemblies
• Drip Tubing
• Timers
