NEED A SPRINKLER SYSTEM?
Let us Design one for you.
We want to do
everything we can to make the design and installation of your
irrigation system a simple, step-by-step project. We’ll create a
customized design that includes: |
 |
|
-
Proper valve, pipe, and sprinkler layout for
perfect water coverage throughout your yard.
The first thing we will do is divide your yard
into areas containing similar plants, lawn and
conditions. Is it a high sun lawn area? Is it a
sloping garden area, etc? We make sure every plant
type and climate in your yard is accounted for
(that’s why it is important that you include them
all on your landscape sketch).
-
Correct sprinkler head selection and placement to
accommodate every curve and contour of your
landscape.
We determine the best sprinklers to use in each
area. This decision is based on the plants and area
being watered. The sprinklers are positioned so that
the spray from each sprinkler head just reaches all
those adjacent to it. This is called Head-to-Head
coverage, and it is vital to ensuring uniform water
application. It is calculated using your water
pressure information and performance data for the
type of sprinklers selected for each area of the
yard. For planter areas, we incorporate
micro-irrigation (also known as drip irrigation)
because micro-irrigation saves water and is an
effectively way to water the variety of plants found
in a planter section.
-
Ideal number of irrigation
zones and timer location
An irrigation zone is a group of sprinklers that
operate simultaneously, using one irrigation valve.
To determine the number of zones, we again use the
information provided by you to be sure the
sprinklers we have plotted in each area can be run
with the available water flow and pressure. Zones
are created when the available water flow and
pressure matches the needs of the sprinklers and the
rest of the house. What we end up with is the final
zone count. The zone control valves are then grouped
together in clusters called “manifolds.” For
example, we group all the valves needed to operate
the front yard zones together, all the valves for
the backyard together, etc. This simplifies
installation and maintenance later on.
-
A complete shopping and parts
list of everything that you will need
All you will need to do is buy it and install it. If
you would like to review some of the products we
will use when designing your system and making the
parts/shopping list, refer to Product Catalogues.

Complete the
questionnaire and mail or fax it to Irrigation Warehouse along with
your property plan.
Please clearly
print all information and fill out the form completely so that we
may process your design. All information must be properly supplied
before we will be able to design a system for you. Your design and
the recommended parts list will be based on the accuracy of
information and drawings that you provide.
