Sprinkler installation - What it involves
Installing the best in-ground lawn irrigation system involves several steps and careful planning. Here's a general guide to help you understand the process we go through when installing a new irrigation system.
We Start a Plan for Your Irrigation System
We start with evaluating your lawn. We consider the size, shape, and specific needs of your lawn. We take note of any obstacles, slopes, or areas with different water requirements. We then identify the water source for your irrigation system. It could be your municipal water supply, well water, or another source.
We Create a Design of Your Irrigation System
We will divide your lawn into zones based on water needs. Different areas may require different amounts of water. We determine the best locations for sprinkler heads to ensure even coverage. We consider the range and pattern for each sprinkler.
Excavation of Your Lawn
Most pipes are installed with a vibratory plow leaving minimal ground disturbance.
Install Pipes and Fittings
We will then install pipes in the trenches, connecting them with fittings. We are mindful of the slope to ensure proper drainage. Then control valves are placed in each zone to regulate water flow.
Install the Sprinkler Heads
Sprinkler heads are then connected to the pipes, positioning them according to your irrigation design. We adjust the height and angle of each sprinkler head for optimal coverage.
Connect to a Water Source
We then connect the irrigation system to your water source, ensuring proper fittings and connections.
Install the Controller
We will install the irrigation controller in a convenient and weather-resistant location. We program the controller by setting watering schedules based on your lawn's needs and the zones you've established.
Test and Adjustment of the System
We activate each zone to test the system. Then check for leaks, uneven coverage, or other issues. We fine-tune the controller settings and sprinkler heads based on the test results.
Backfill and Landscaping
Once you're satisfied with the system, we backfill the trenches and restore the landscape.
