Why Work with Us?

Why Hire an Irrigation Designer or Irrigation Consultant?.

The answer is simple. A good irrigation designer or irrigation consultant is educated and informed about current irrigation design methods and technologies that conform to best management practices. By choosing to work with a trained irrigation designer or consultant you will have greater chances at achieving a successful landscape project that will minimize water waste from poor irrigation applications and water runoff.

There are many factors to consider when designing an irrigation system. An irrigation designer will eliminate this burden by making the right decisions for your specific project and application. Many do-it-yourself applications fail because the designer or installer simply did not understand that design of a system and equipment selection is an integral process. Flow rates and pressure loss varies among manufacturers and without having basic equipment knowledge upfront along with system static pressure and flow capacity, you can easily install a system only to later discover it barely works. High pressure systems and hillsides have the potential for dangerous outcomes if systems are poorly designed.

Balanced circuit design, proper zoning and selection of nozzles with matched precipitation rates are just a few examples of good design. Irrigation system automation also can be a sign of good design and offers great rewards. Automation can also add large costs and complications making it critical to make wise choices during the design stage. Modern technology advances such as SMART technology capable of analyzing climatic changes and automatically adjusting system run times are readily available and may also be affordable for residential applications. Case studies have proven that water savings of 20% or more is possible just through the use of a smart controller. An irrigation designer or irrigation consultant is capable of providing their clients with the best options to increase the efficient use of irrigation thereby significantly reducing water waste, runoff and peak water demand.
