Looking to have someone install an
irrigation system in your yard? Price is not always the deciding factor.
A responsible irrigation specialist will
use quality, compatible products and plan out your system so there are no dry
spots; no collateral damage (eg. water on buildings or sidewalks); no wastage of water; and incorporates
matched precipitation rates specific to zones of the lawn area and the planting
beds and trees, to ensure the correct amount of water to each area. They will determine
the soil type which regulates the frequency and distribution of the water, and
they will work with the amount of pressure and volume of water each residence
has at the point of connection.
This usually means a more expensive system
upon installation but it will save you in the long run, considering a good system
should last about 20 years.
Since installing a system requires digging
trenches in your yard, it makes good sense to install the system after you plan
your yard, (where you want planting beds and trees) but before you lay sod or
seed your lawn.
Before you choose an irrigation company,
ask for a detailed plan from the contractor, and a list of or references, or
sites where they have installed irrigation systems.
You will also want to know how to maintain
the system and how to make any necessary adjustments (or you could just contact
your irrigation specialist again.)
