You get powerful advanced Fault Detection: sensors compare expected versus actual demand, instantly flagging equipment failures, valve malfunctions, or damaged sprinklers. Real-time updates are delivered to your smartphone, and affected zones can be disabled until repairs are completed. We calibrate control points, seasonal variables, and water cycles to accommodate your landscape's topography, soil composition, and plant types. The benefit: healthier plants, fewer callbacks, and measurable water savings.

Understanding Drip Systems and Zones

Fine-tune your watering system at the root zone with purpose-built drip systems that dispense measured gallons per hour precisely where vegetation requires it. Experience controlled irrigation, limited evaporation, and balanced distribution across plantings with different consumption.

We develop hydrozones using zoned emitters matched to species, soil texture, and slope. Inline and point-source options enable specific irrigation for garden beds, hedgerows, and mature trees while preventing water waste. Proper pressure regulation maintains consistent flow, eliminating pressure issues and inconsistent coverage. Our filtration systems are designed to safeguard emission points, then set lateral spacing and emitter spacing based on soil absorption to avoid runoff and perched water.

You can manage every zone independently for seasonal adjustments and establishment periods. We ensure optimal function through flow and pressure evaluations, and record irrigation layout, valve assignments and maintenance requirements for dependable, efficient water delivery.

Rain Capture Integration

Throughout the complete structure, we integrate rain harvesting into your irrigation system to decrease reliance on treated water and regulate soil moisture. We start with site hydraulics: assess water collection potential, downspout flow rates, and initial runoff amounts, then choose food-grade roof cisterns designed for storm intensity and drought targets. We pair pre-filtration with ultraviolet or ozone treatment, match pump curves to emitter pressure, and automate valves via moisture readings and weather forecasts.

Our system offers an integrated storage solution mixing captured precipitation with water reclamation where local ordinances enable, providing reclaimed water to watering systems without cross-connection risk.
