Investing in Irrigation & Drainage
Water is an important factor for any landscape
The way that a property uses and manages water has a huge bearing on its overall health. By prioritizing your irrigation and drainage systems, you maximize the health of your landscaping and ensure that your property is safe and accessible for all who use it.
Our U.S. Lawns crews of trained professionals perform routine irrigation inspections and make any adjustments or repairs to keep irrigation systems working effectively and efficiently. Proper irrigation practices increase root depth, as well as tolerance to drought and other stresses.
Efficient Irrigation is Key
We take into account the water needs based on types of plants & turf, season, soil type, shade in the landscape, etc., as well as water required during establishment of new plantings.
Multiple zones are programmed to water specific areas according to their specific needs, adjusting in response to changes in rainfall and other factors.
Smart irrigation systems with rain and soil sensors allow you to save money by efficiently watering your grounds with total control.
Rainwater Runoff
While properties need irrigation, some may also need to deal with excess rainwater runoff through a well-designed and functioning drainage system.
Excess water can erode soil, and cause harm to plants and turf areas.
Standing water can also compromise hardscaping. In addition to becoming a structural liability, the mud and puddles brought about by poor drainage is inconvenient and messy for everyone.
Drainage Needs
Drainage needs vary greatly, depending on the inclines and layout of your property.
Settling ground, maturing landscapes, and new construction can all alter the flow of runoff and require an update to your drainage system.
Water is an important factor for any landscape. It's an essential need to maintain trees, shrubs, flowers and turf. It can also cause considerable difficulty and damage if not properly managed.
An investment in quality irrigation, and drainage where needed, pays dividends in the long run by preventing costly repairs.
