Home lawns, home gardens, ranch pastures, and farm orchards all require different strategies and techniques to make sure that water is flowing the right way, every time, with no worries.

Yes, you can do anything around your property your self, but with Irrigation, there’s generally a bit too much you can lose, because water is money, and water is life. Here are 4 main reasons that we came up with that you should know about before trying to install effective irrigation or irrigation systems yourself. A correctly installed system can pay for itself, one installed incorrectly turns your investment into a cost. It’s as simple as that.

  1. Choosing the right sprinkler heads or drip fittings can difficult when your not familiar with all of the different options available.ت There are so many options for different conditions and different spots, it can be intimidating for sure. Getting this right is important for water efficiency and saving money across the board.
  2. When installing anti-siphon valves, they must be installed at a higher elevation than the highest sprinkler in that zone. Seems automatic, but we see this in the field once in a while, it’s a simple mistake to make, and a bit hard to correct.
  3. There are many variables to consider when installing a new irrigation system. that you may not know about, like flow and rate calculations, back flow prevention,ت pressure regulators, valve and sprinkler options for flooding and for safety, adapters/fittings, types of pipe, and more…
  4. There are likely opportunities to store water on your property, or remove water from places on your property in ways you haven’t considered. This is tricky and can only really be accomplished with an experienced eye on board.
