Commercial Irrigation Installation in Phoenix

Our Commercial Sprinkler Installation Process: Your Journey to a Lush Lawn

• What Goes into a Perfect Lawn?

  Ever wonder what goes into getting that perfect, evenly watered lawn? We follow a clear and careful process to install a sprinkler system that’s efficient, reliable, and tailored just for your property. Here’s a peek behind the scenes so you know what to expect:

• Step 1: Planning Your Perfect Sprinkler System

  • Before touching a shovel, we get to know your commercial landscape inside and out. We’ll note all the details, like how your land slopes, what soil you have, how much sun each area gets, and what types of plants you’re growing.
  • Then, we’ll test your water source to see how much pressure and flow we’re working with. This helps us design your ideal sprinkler system, dividing your property into different watering “zones” based on what each area needs.
  • We’ll choose the best sprinkler types for each zone – maybe rotating heads for the lawn and gentle drip lines for your flower beds or garden.
  • Finally, we’ll map out where the pipes will go, where the control valves will be located, and the best spot for your controller.

• Step 2: Marking the Trench

  We’ll call in the pros to mark any underground utilities like cables or pipes, so we know exactly where it’s safe to work. Then, we’ll use flags or paint to outline where each sprinkler zone, head, valve, and trench will go on your lawn. This gives you a clear picture of the plan before any digging begins.

• Step 3: Digging In

  Next comes the trenching. We’ll carefully dig the pathways for the main water lines and the smaller lines that feed the sprinklers. These trenches are usually about 6 to 12 inches deep. We maintain the right spacing and gentle slopes where needed so water doesn’t just sit and puddle.

• Step 4: Laying the Pipes

  Now we lay down the PVC or polyethylene pipes in those trenches. We’ll install the zone valves, usually grouped together neatly in a valve box. A super important step is installing a backflow preventer – most areas require this to keep your drinking water safe! Finally, we connect all the pipes using the right fittings and secure them properly with glue or clamps.

• Step 5: Planting the Sprinkler Heads and Emitters

  Time to install the actual sprinklers! We’ll place each sprinkler head in its marked spot, ensuring it sits level with the ground. If you have garden beds or individual plants, we’ll install drip lines to give them targeted watering. Then comes the fine-tuning. We’ll adjust the nozzles and spray patterns to make sure your lawn gets even coverage without spraying the sidewalk or your house.

• Step 6: Wiring & Programming

  We’ll run low-voltage wires from the control box to each of those zone valves. Then, we install the irrigation controller itself – this could be a simple manual one or a smart system – in a safe and protected spot. Finally, we’ll program the watering schedule based on the types of plants you have, how much sun they get, and any local watering rules you need to follow.

• Step 7: Test and Fine-Tune

  Let’s see it in action! We’ll test each watering zone to check for any leaks or clogs. We’ll also look at the coverage to make sure no dry spots or areas are getting too much water. We’ll even check the water pressure to ensure everything is running smoothly. We’ll make any necessary adjustments to the sprinkler heads or the water flow based on what we see.

• Step 8: Filling In and Tidying Up

  Once everything is working perfectly, we’ll carefully fill in all the trenches, ensuring not to damage any pipes or sprinkler heads. We’ll tamp down the soil and leave your property looking neat and tidy.

• Step 9: Final Walk-Through & System Education

  We’re not done until you “sign off”! We’ll walk through your new irrigation system to ensure you’re completely satisfied. We’ll also show you how to use your new sprinkler system. From adjusting watering zones and schedules to basic maintenance (like cleaning filters), you’ll know how to use the system. We design and install irrigation that lasts and saves you water and money. You can also rest assured knowing we follow all local codes and regulations.
