Irrigation & Sprinkler Systems

Why Proper Irrigation Matters

Watering your landscape properly makes the difference between plants that thrive and ones that struggle. Too little water stresses grass and plants, causing brown spots, wilting, and weak growth. Too much water wastes resources, increases your utility bills, and can lead to root rot, fungal diseases, and drainage problems. An efficient irrigation system delivers the right amount of water exactly where it is needed.

Manual watering with hoses and sprinklers is time-consuming and inconsistent. You might forget to move the sprinkler, water too long in one area, or skip watering when you are busy or out of town. Automated irrigation systems solve these problems by running on a schedule you set. Once installed, your landscape gets consistent care without you having to think about it.

In Daly City, where water conservation is important and rates continue to rise, efficient irrigation is not just convenient. It is essential. Modern systems use smart controllers and efficient heads that minimize waste while keeping your plants healthy. This reduces your water bill and helps you comply with local water use restrictions during dry periods.

Our Irrigation Services

Custom System Design and Installation

Every property has different irrigation needs based on plant types, sun exposure, soil conditions, and slope. We design custom systems that account for these variables and deliver water efficiently. Lawn areas get spray heads that provide even coverage. Planting beds receive drip irrigation that waters roots directly without wetting foliage. Trees and shrubs get dedicated emitters sized for their water requirements.

We zone your system so different areas can be watered on separate schedules. Sunny areas that dry out quickly get more frequent watering than shaded spots. Plants with high water needs are grouped separately from drought-tolerant natives. This zoning prevents overwatering some areas while underwatering others, which is a common problem with poorly designed systems.

Smart Controllers and Water Conservation

Traditional irrigation timers run on fixed schedules regardless of weather conditions. They water during rainstorms, on cold days when plants need less, and when soil is already saturated. Smart controllers adjust watering based on real-time weather data, soil moisture levels, and seasonal changes. This saves water without any extra effort on your part.

What We Offer

• Custom irrigation design tailored to your landscape and water needs
• Professional installation with all lines buried and protected
• Smart controllers that adjust watering based on weather conditions
• Drip irrigation for efficient watering of planting beds and shrubs
• System repairs and upgrades for existing irrigation
• Seasonal adjustments and winterization services

We also handle repairs and upgrades for existing systems. If you have broken heads, leaking valves, or outdated controllers, we can fix those problems and improve system efficiency. Many older systems waste significant water due to worn components or poor design. Upgrading key elements often pays for itself in lower water bills.

Installation Process and Maintenance

How We Install Your System

Installation starts with a site assessment where we identify water sources, check pressure and flow rates, and plan pipe routing. We stake out head locations so you can visualize coverage before we dig. Once you approve the layout, we trench for mainlines and laterals, install valves and manifolds, and place heads at precise heights and angles for optimal coverage.

All pipes are buried to protect them from damage and keep your landscape looking clean. We test each zone before backfilling to ensure proper operation and coverage. After installation, we program your controller and walk you through how to adjust settings if needed. We also provide a system map showing head locations and valve boxes for future reference.

Ongoing Care and Adjustments

Even the best irrigation systems need occasional maintenance. Heads get damaged by mowers or foot traffic, valves develop leaks, and coverage may need adjustment as plants mature. We offer maintenance services to keep your system running efficiently. This includes seasonal inspections, adjusting heads for even coverage, replacing damaged components, and updating controller programs as your landscape changes.

Regular maintenance catches small problems before they become expensive repairs. A leaking valve or misdirected head wastes water and can damage your landscape. Scheduling an annual check-up ensures your system stays in top condition and continues to deliver water efficiently. We coordinate irrigation maintenance with your lawn care schedule so everything works together seamlessly.
