A sprinkler system is only as effective as its operator. On average, turf needs about 1 inch of water a week and plants need between 1/2-1 inch depending on the plant type, grading and sun exposure. An operator needs to adjust his/her control box weekly as the rainfall and temperature changes throughout the year. The three biggest ways to save water are the following:
Without knowing your property, it is difficult to recommend the perfect watering schedule for everyone. But here is good starting point:
Please note, these are only recommended watering times. The best way to ensure the best program is to closely monitor your plants and lawn. If you find your plants and lawn starting to dry out or brown, you should add minutes. If you find your lawn to be really mushy and soggy, turn the watering time down.

Typically, the cable and phone lines are the only shallow utility lines, they are often only 2-3” deep in the ground. As a measure of precaution from hitting your cable or phone lines, we will hand dig around all utility lines. However, there are no guarantees that your phone or cable line won’t be damaged. There is no way to guarantee that the line was accurately marked or that we won’t hit the line hand digging with a pick and shovel. If a utility line is hit, our project manager will promptly inform and instruct you on how to resolve the issue. Typically, the cable and phone companies are very reactive in providing great service and schedule a service tech to your property right away and do not charge a fee.
