A proper irrigation system ensures that your landscape stays healthy and green, without wasting water. Whether you need a brand-new system or an upgrade to your existing setup, we design and install efficient solutions customized for Central Oregon’s climate.
A professional irrigation system typically intercepts the water supply between the meter and your home. One of its critical components is the backflow device, which prevents contaminated water from flowing back into the municipal supply. This device is often inspected by the city to ensure safety and compliance. Due to its complexity and the labor involved, the backflow assembly is usually the most expensive part of your irrigation system to replace.
Once the water passes through the backflow, it remains under pressure and is routed to valves (often located in an underground valve box). These valves divide your landscape into separate “zones” and connect to an electronic controller. The controller can be programmed to turn each zone on or off automatically, managing precise watering schedules throughout the year.
We install modern irrigation systems with smart controllers, drip zones, and water-efficient sprinklers. By delivering precise hydration to specific areas, these systems minimize runoff and water waste, and can even adjust watering schedules based on seasonal changes or local conditions.
For lawns, we design sprinkler layouts with head-to-head coverage—each sprinkler’s spray reaches the next head, ensuring there are no dry spots and providing an even distribution of water. This approach keeps your turf healthy and reduces the risk of overwatering in certain areas.
In garden beds and around individual plants, we install drip irrigation with emitters placed at the root zone. By delivering water exactly where it’s needed, drip systems reduce evaporation, help prevent fungus, and minimize weed growth. Because they’re so efficient, established plants often require watering only once or twice a week.
From trenching and pipe installation to final testing and adjustments, we provide a seamless setup for your system. We also offer ongoing maintenance to keep everything functioning properly year-round. One especially important service is the winter blowout, where compressed air is used to clear all water from the lines and prevent freeze damage in colder seasons.
