Irrigation System Atlanta

I bet you've already noticed the price of gas increasing at the pump! Did you know crude oil prices not only affect gasoline prices but the price of any crude related products such as PVC? The price of PVC could affect the cost of your irrigation system. If you've been considering a new irrigation system, this is one more reason that this is the time to install it.

Irrigation System


Do you know how important backflow prevention is on your irrigation system? Think about it like this: you fertilize your lawn, plants, etc. This seeps into the ground and can get into your irrigation lines. So, without a device to prevent that water from "backflowing" into your drinking water, you could end up drinking fertilized water which wouldn't be good. If you have a system installed after 2005, the law in Georgia says you should have backflow prevention. Check to see that you do as many systems don't particularly those installed as part of a builder package.

If you are considering a new irrigation system this spring, the best time of year to do the irrigation system installation is before the final frost when most warm weather grasses are still dormant. This will allow your irrigation system to be installed via trenching which will give the irrigation pipe the most stable enviroment and also allow your lawn to recover more quickly. This picture is of a yard in May where the new irrigation system was installed in February.

Irrigation System in Wintertime

It's very important to take care of your irrigation system particularly in the wintertime. And more so in the south, like Atlanta, where we never know what kinda of winter weather we will have and when. At the very least, make sure your system is turned off so that it won't run during freezing temperatures to prevent an accident from occuring.

Irrigation System Maintenance Winterization

Most irrigation companies in Atlanta offer maintenance contracts to maintain your irrigation system just like your landscaper keeps your lawn maintained. An irrigation maintenance contract is an excellent way to be sure your irrigation system stays in tip top shape and are often less expensive than separate services.

Monday, November 29, 2010

Irrigation Winterization

While most irrigation system pipes should be below the frost line in Georgia, it is still important to have your irrigation system winterized because you never know what kind of winter we are going to have here in Georgia. Particularly important are you valves because while they are underground they are still exposed and those connection points have a tendency to be the first area of breaks after a cold winter.

With rain in the forecast, we thought this was a good time to remind you that you don't have to manually cut off your system each time there is rain expected. If you have a rain sensor on your irrigation system, which has been required by law since 2005, it will take care of that for you. It's an expensive way to ensure that your irrigation system is doing what's its supposed to - supplementing the rainfall.

Irrigation Controllers


There are a variety of irrigation controllers available through an professional irrigation company. Your choices are somewhat limited at DIY stores. Look for a controller that will meet your current needs as far as number of stations (zones) and sensor capability (rain, freeze, solar sync, etc.). Also be sure to consider whether or not you plan any future expansion of your irrigation system. A great solution if you're unsure about expanding your irrigation system in the future is a modular controller from Hunter or Rainbird.

So you think your irrigation system is leaking because you got a higher than normal water bill? Check your valve boxes for water if there is no noticeable area of water in your yard. Before you call an irrigation repair company such as ours also check for leaking, dribbling toliets and faucets. We had a customer with a $300 increase in her bill who was convinced it was her irrigation system. Turned out if was a dribbling toliet that drove her bill up.

Atlanta Irrigation Companies


Why wait until spring to fix or upgrade your irrigation system? There's no good reason. Your irrigation system can be repaired or upgraded, heads moved, replaced, etc. prior to winter shut-down so that when you start your system up in the spring your irrigation system will be ready to go. Since spring is our busiest time of the year, you may have to wait several days or even a week or more to get on most irrigation companies' schedules. Be ready ahead of time by doing your irrigation system upgrade and repairs this fall.

Outdoor Lighting - Landscape Lighting


If you are thinking about installing outdoor landscape lighting, not only for security, but because it will make your home look incredible at not, be sure to consider the quality and warranty of products before you make a decision.

While products from DIY stores are very inexpensive, they do not have the warranty or quality of a product offered by a contractor. Many lights offered by contractors have up to a 15 year warranty (no less than 5 in most cases). While you will spend more upfront, you will get a longer life system choosing a contractor grade outdoor lighting.

Whether your considering a new irrigation system or looking to have an existing system repaired, your choice of irrigation companies will have an impact on the longevity of your irrigation system.

Irrigation Winterization

So you don't think you need to winterize your irrigation system? At least do these couple of things, shut off the water. Run your system for about 30 sec to clear as much water as possible. Unplug your controller. You aren't fully protected as you would be with a professional winterization but it's better than nothing. If you don't have a separate shut off for your irrigation system, your system is really at risk in the winter because water remains in the pipe. Consider having a shutoff installed.

It's been a while since I've blogged about this topic but it seems I need to do so again. About 5 years ago the state said you must install a backflow prevention device and rain sensor. Backflow prevention is super important for the safety of your family and the drinking water supply in general. This photos is of a double-check backflow device which is provides the best protection for your irrigation system and is testable. Many places south of Atlanta require these types of backflow devices and annual testing for your protection.

Be smart when watering..take a look at your system frequently, even this time of year, to be sure it is working properly - look for leaky heads, heads that need adjusting and things of that nature.

Irrigation Pumps

It takes a great deal of expertise as I've said before to repair an irrigation system but whether your considering installing an irrigation pump system or need one repaired, you need an irrigation company with the knowledge to handle your problem.

No doubt about it...we got a sneak peek at fall and this is most definitely the time of year to install your new irrigation system so that you are ready come spring time.
Just remember the state does not regulate the irrigation or lawn sprinkler industry to chose a reputable company that can back their warranty and will meet or exceed the state requirements of a rain sensor and backflow prevention.

Proper Irrigation Wiring

We had to re-wire an entire irrigation system put in by a builder that used improper wiring for the whole system. Fortunately, it was a large irrigation system so it wasn't expensive for the new homeowner. I've seen many things in my years but telephone wire for irrigation wire is a first. I'm sure there was a logic but we believe at Millenium Irrigation that you do things the right way not the half way.

It's time to start thinking about irrigation maintenance agreements!

With the cooler temps we've seen of late, many of us are getting a taste of the beautiful Georgia fall that is coming. Now is the time to consider getting an irrigation maintenance agreement where for a flat annual fee your irrigation system will be shut-down properly and started up properly as well as check on for any issues. If you've never considered an irrigation maintenance agreement, there's no time like to present...like changing the oil in your car...it will give your irrigation system more longevity.

Another situation that is just so crazy we have to share it with you. Our customer has an irrigation system in McDonough. When it was installed it was installed without a separate irrigation shut. So the's having a pool put it...they hit one of the irrigation lines and it springs an irrigation system leak - A Big leak. They have to shut all of the water off completely to the house to just turn off the irrigation leak itself. Our customer was not very happy living without water until the pool people repair it - and guess what - it happened again. We came out and properly repaired it.

Irrigation System Repairs


We are often asked "if one of my valves is bad aren't the others soon to follow?" Well, on an older system with all the same valves it is quite possible but not absolute. With newer systems, there is no way to tell whether or not just because one irrigation valve went bad another one will follow suit. I've seen valves last fifteen years or more. So the answer is one of those unsures.

Wednesday, September 1, 2010

Irrigation System Installation Companies


When getting your quotes for your new irrigation system be sure to ask your irrigation contractor about what products they are using and why. Ask about any special features those products have, how they benefit you and for any written information on those products. Make sure any irrigation contractor you use knows all about the products they want to put in your yard to be sure you're getting the very best you can get.

Leaking Sprinkler Heads

If you have a lot of water that makes you think "leaking sprinkler head" - it could be normal drainage, it could be a leak at the head connection point, or some other things.

If that doesn't fix the problem email me at carla@milleniumirrigation.com. There are other solutions too.

Most water companies will issue you a credit on your water bill provided you can show them proof it's been fixed such as an irrigation repair company invoice.

Irrigation Backflow - Sound alike but are different

Irrigation backflow is not only required but super important. You should be sure that you are getting the highest protection for your family via a double-check backblow prevention device. Dual check backflow prevention devices, while they have similar sounding names, do not afford the highest protection are not meant to be used in toxic prevention situations. Think about it like this to understand the importance...everything seeps into your yard, for example, fertilizer, often ends up in your irrigation water. Do you want that in your drinking water too? Backflow prevention is how you keep that from happening. No mention of backflow by your irrigation company in Atlanta...it's state law.

Monday, August 23, 2010

Separate Irrigation System Meter

A separate irrigation meter - when the cost is reasonable - will save you money on your irrigation system watering cost. Some counties even require separate irrigation meters at a reasonable cost while others do not. The primary difference is that your pay non-sewer rates on a separate irrigation meter......

Irrigation Systems & Backflow Prevention


I haven't blogged about this subject in a while but feel it would be prudent to do so now. As things begin to pick up for new irrigation system installations for the fall, please don't forget about the importance of backflow prevention and the fact that backflow prevention is required by state law. Know the differences between a dual check and double check device and which one affords the most protection for your family. Here's a clue: many communities & counties south of metro Atlanta required and test double check backflow prevention devices.

Irrigation Companies

Some irrigation companies also do low voltage landscape lighting which will increase the security of your home as well beautify those features that made you fall in love with your home in the first place. Often if you combine outdoor lighting with irrigation system installations or irrigation system repairs, you can get a discount.

Irrigation System Repairs McDonough

We were out at an irrigation repair call yesterday in McDonough. The system has been working fine until recently when it developed "water hammer." We were able to reduce some of the water banging around adjusting the flow control on his valves, however, a pressure reducer is in order. With most of the water pressure in Atlanta being so high, it is prudent to pressure reducers in at installation in many cases.

Tuesday, August 17, 2010

Irrigation System Repairs

Make sure that when you are considering any landscape change to check with your irrigation company so they can direct you how to limit repairs and prepare you for the changes that may need to be made to your irrigation system.

They have called numerous times and no one has called them back. Now they have called us and we are going to try to help them out but it should be done totally free under their warranty. So keep in mind when choosing an irrigation company in Atlanta for your new irrigation system the importance of Service After the Sale.

Atlanta Irrigation System Repairs

Trying to water a steep hill in your yard with your irrigation system? Try reducing the time and watering more times per day that way your water bill doesn't go up and your lawn has time to absorb the water that is normally running off.

And, does that sprinkler head at the bottom of the hill leak and lose a lot of water? Try replacing it with a head that has a check valve. You could save $$$.

Irrigation Repair Atlanta

Wet Spots/Dry Spots - Irrigation System

You have an irrigation system right? You notice some really wet spots and some really dry spots. First check coverage and make sure its head to head (meaning on sprinkler head to another) then ask yourself this? Are there variations in sun exposure in that area? If so think about a Smart Controller that allows you to program in shade/sun, soil, plant type, etc. to help with less over watering and watering more efficiently overall.

Irrigation Systems

Today we are starting a 3 zone Hunter irrigation system in Hampton. While the customer had an existing irrigation system it was not in good shape at all and not properly design so it was more cost effective to install a new system rather than repair the old one.

Tuesday, July 27, 2010

Irrigation System Repairs

A lot of irrigation system repairs are results of work being done in yards....remember free of charge Georgia 811 will mark the public utilities (gas, electric, phone, cable, etc.) to help out on that end but they don't locate private utilities such as irrigation, landscape lighting, etc.

Irrigation System Repairs

Taking care of your irrigation system and irrigation system repairs is like doing maintenance on your car....for the longevity of your irrigation system it is important that you have a qualified, experienced irrigation company make your repairs (and ask about a warranty on the work too).

Irrigation System Atlanta

So you're thinking about a new irrigation system? Remember, warranty on your system is important but it is more important that whomever you choose can back up the warranty. We've gotten a lot of phone calls lately for system repairs where the customers thought they were protected by a warranty and they were given one. Unfortunately, the company and/or people who installed their irrigation system can no longer be found. Time in business and local or community ties seems to be the most indicative of being able to back up a warranty.

Tuesday, July 13, 2010

Keep an eye on your system!

You need to do a regular maintnence check on your irrigation system. If your sprinklers aren't kept in great condition, they could be wasting water as well as having detrimental effects on your lawn!

Here is a sprinkler maintnence checklist:


Sprinkler Maintenance Checklist

Once a month, turn on each valve of your sprinkling system during daylight hours and
perform an inspection. Some automatic timers allow you to set a test run, or you can
program each station to come on successively for one minute. Check the following:




GENERAL MAINTENANCE


-Is any water being sprayed on the street or sidewalk?

-Are there obstructions preventing the water from reaching the desired areas?

-Are there any observable leaks or breaks in the pipe?



SPRINKLER HEADS


Are any heads…

-missing?

-broken?

-clogged?

-pushed too far into the ground?

-tilted or spraying in the wrong direction?





PRESSURE:

Is the pressure…


-too low?

(spray is not reaching all desired areas, spray is forming large water droplets, there are
doughnut shaped dry areas, rotor speed is too slow, rotors are not rotating)



-too high?

(spray is overshooting desired areas, spray is misting and there are dry areas between
heads, rotor speed is too fast, rotors are not rotating, heads are leaking)

Some times simple little changes can make a huge difference in how your irrigation system works. Replacing old heads and changing nozzles can make a world of difference in your sprinkler systems performance.

Why dirt piles after my pipe is laid for my new irrigation system?


When you chose the trenching method for your new irrigation system installation, we go through a several step process to ensure that you don't have ruts in your yard or "sinking" trenchlines. Once the dirt is compressed, by hand and machine, and raked up again, we like to naturally allow the trenchline dirt to fall into place over 2 weeks or so following installation. Doing so makes sure that you don't have ruts in your yard. When you chose trenchless installation the method is different. While it will look better, we feel that we can provide a more stable environment for your irrigation pipe via trenching. Check out our for an awesome before and after 2 months post-installation to see what it will really look like.

Commercial Irrigation Repair

Today We are working on the restoration of a dual controller, 80+ zone irrigation system for a townhome community in Atlanta as well as putting some finishing touches on our installation in Atlanta.

New Irrigation System

If you are thinking about a new irrigation system, be sure that your irrigation company properly designs your irrigation system to provide even and uniform watering. Proper design of your irrigation system is the first step towards assuring a efficient irrigation system.

Tip to increase efficiency of your irrigation system

Tip #1: Make sure that your irrigation system is evenly distributing water. Make adjustments at least each year and move heads, if necessary, to ensure even watering is evenly maintained for growing plants.

Irrigation Repair Atlanta

When you make contact with an irrigation company for irrigation repair atlanta, be sure to ask the irrigation company what all is included in their service fee or first hour of service. Does it include adjustments? Re-programming your controller?
Don't be fooled by irrigation companies in Atlanta that claim "no service fee" as they usually have a one hour minimum charge that exceeds the service fee that other irrigation companies charge.

Friday, May 28, 2010

Irrigation Atlanta

Today we should be about 90% complete by the end of today with our 9 zone new installation installation in Sharpsburg. Look for pictures over the weekend of this extraordinary property and irrigation system.

Thursday, May 27, 2010

Irrigation Repair Atlanta

Ask your irrigation repair company to do a through run-thru of your system and check for those components that will help your system work more efficiently and thereby reduce your water usage. Since over 58% of our water usage goes towards watering your landscape, simply things such as an inexpensive Rain Sensor can increase the efficiency of your system. Also, there are many ET systems and smart controllers out that in some cases can save you 30-50% on your water bills.

Install Irrigation System

Today is the 2nd day of our irrigation system installation in Coweta County. Our guys did a great job yesterday getting on top of things.

We are also installing a 3 zone residential irrigation system with Hunter products including a Pro-C and Solar Sync today in Acworth.

Been thinking about an irrigation system, now is definitely the time.

Wednesday, May 26, 2010

New Irrigation System in Sharpsburg

Today we are beginning the new irrigation system installation on our next project in Sharpsburg. Coweta County requires a double-check backflow device (which we always use) as well as a testing after installation and a separate irrigation meter.

Atlanta Sprinkler Repair

Many systems we are seeing these days need updating with a rain sensor, backflow prevention or head replacement. While these things don't sound complicated experience and being able to back your work should be one thing you consider when selecting an irrigation company to fix your irrigation system.

Lawn Sprinkler System Installation



Check out these AMAZING before and after photos. This new irrigation installation was completed the 2nd week of March this year and our customer sent me an updated photo yesterday.

Atlanta Sprinkler Repair

Today we are taking a break from new irrigation system installations because we were able to finish out our Duluth project early and are catching up on some sprinkler system repairs. Our big sprinkler repair project today is a irrigation system restoration and update in Kennesaw. Our customer has chosen the new "pressure compensating" rotor from Rainbird to ensure even and effective watering.

Now is the time to update and adjust your sprinkler system before the summer. You may also want to ensure that you have a rain sensor and proper backflow prevention.

Tuesday, May 11, 2010

Updating your old irrigation system

Whether your system is 5, 10 or 20 years, there has been much improvement in water efficient technology that could help save you money each watering season. Updating an irrigation system is important for the longevity of your system as well. Consider this: you change your car's oil and filter so it will last longer...your irrigation system should be treated the same!

New Irrigation System in Duluth

Today is our 2nd day on our new irrigation system installation in Dultuh. Our guys had a short day of it when the rain came. Fortunately, we remain on schedule for this project and our customer is excited to see things finally come together on their planned irrigation and landscape project.

Add on to existing irrigation system


Today we are also doing an add on to an existing irrigation system. Since we installed this system the add on will be much easier than most in that we know how the system was designed. This customer thought enough ahead to have the area prepped for future expansion.

Irrigation Rain Sensors & Backflow Prevention

Our campaign to encourage people to add a rain sensor and proper backflow prevention is paying off. Once people take the time to think about the safety aspect of the irrigation backflow prevention and the cost savings of the rain sensor, it become a very easy decision.

New Irrigation System in Fayetteville

We got started mid-afternoon yesterday on a new irrigation system in Fayetteville and will continue with this system installation today. This is an 8 zone Hunter irrigation system with a water saving Solar Sync.

Many thanks!

Thanks to Mike and Andy of Rainbird for spending some time with us today to talk about the importance of efficient irrigation systems. It is great to see a large sprinkler manufacturer taking efficient practices to the next level and building partnerships for the future of our industry.

Special thanks to Tony @ Central Irrigation out of McDonough. It is ALWAYS great to see you.

Kia Motors: Flow Testing

We completed and verified our irrigation system flow testing at Kia Motors in West Point yesterday and everything went perfectly. Barring any problems our next visit will be the summer check up in June.

Irrigation in Peachtree City

Today we will start a customized irrigation system in Peachtree City. The customer is having their entire yard re-done and landscaped. Irrigation is a huge part of this landscape. If you're considering irrigation for your irrigation project, make sure your irrigation company coordinates their efforts with those of your landscaper. Also, don't forget it is important to have your irrigation installed first based around your landscape plan to avoid any possible disruption of the newly installed landscape.

Tuesday, May 4, 2010

Install Irrigation in Atlanta

After many repair calls last week, I am once again reminded of the importance of selecting a knowledgable contractor to install irrigation in Atlanta. While cost is often a factor in getting an irrigation system, you should be sure your system is meeting the minimum requirements of your county, muncipality or state. Also, don't forget about the importance for safety's sake of a backflow prevention device. To add backflow prevention later is much more expensive than doing so at the time your irrigation system is installed.

Irrigation Rain Sensor


After the rain yesterday here in Atlanta, it once again reminds me of the importance of irrigation rain sensors. This is a small investment in saving water in the event of a sporadic shower or rainfall. How many times have you seen a sprinkler system running during the rain? Have you wondered why that is happening? Most likely because that system doesn't have a rain sensor. If you don't have one, I encourage you today to inquire about getting one with an irrigation company in Atlanta. Not only will it save you money, save water waste but will help to conserve water as well.

New Irrigation System: Worthington Christmas Tree Farm



We have completed the first phase of the new irrigation system at Worthington's Christmas Tree Farm in Hampton which was the residence. This new irrigation system was design based on the specifications of the newly added pump that was located on the property.

Saturday, May 1, 2010

Christmas Tree Farm - Hampton


We are moving right along with Phase 1 at Worthington's Christmas Tree farm in Hampton which is the residence. This irrigation installation was designed specifically for the hydrolic output of the pump station that will feed the irrigation system.

New Irrigation System

Our team came together last night to complete our job in Senoia. I'm so proud of them! Today we are doing an irrigation system installation in Dacula as well as a system restore in Jonesboro along with finishing out a irrigation and drainage system in Sharpsburg. Then it's off to Kia to complete flow testing....

Irrigation Systems

We are very busy today with a wide variety of jobs going on from installs to system restorations. The long period of time without using systems has caused many systems to need more work than normal and then factoring in the extremely cold winter...well you guessed it!

Irrigation Repair Atlanta

Make sure your sprinkler repair company in Atlanta thoroughly inspects your system upon completion of any repair. We've been receiving several phone calls for additional repair items other irrigation companies in Atlanta have missed. Experience in irrigation repair in Atlanta is key when getting your system repaired.

New Irrigation System Installation

Today we hope to finish up our new irrigation system installation in Senoia. The customer is very pleased so far and will have an awesome Hunter irrigation system once completed.

Monday, April 26, 2010

New Irrigation System in Atlanta

If your thinking about a new irrigation system in Atlanta be sure to ask the following questions: how long is my warranty and what does it cover? how long have you been in business? what type of products will you be using? do you provide backflow prevention? do you install a rain sensor? will there be a separate shut-off valve? So many companies don't take the time to tell you guys about your system and your spending a large sum of money for it so they should. If they don't ask them!

Sprinkler Repair Atlanta

Not only is it important to give your irrigation company as much information as possible about your irrigation system when scheduling them to come out to repair your system but ask if they provide you with any kind of warranty. Also, don't be fooled by irrigation companies in Atlanta that claim to have "no service fee" as more often than not they have a one hour minimum that exceeds most companies service fees with no minimum.

New Irrigation System in McDonough

Today we will finish our Peachtree City project and being and complete another irrigation installation in McDonough. Our McDonough project is 4 zones with a Hunter Pro-C controller and Solar Sync. Don't forget when your considering a new irrigation system to make sure your irrigation contractor keeps you fully informed about your system and all it's components. Most importantly these days is backflow prevention and a rain sensor!

Saturday, April 24, 2010

Irrigation Repair Atlanta

July will be smart irrigation month! We are looking forward to promoting smart, efficient irrigation practices even more than usual. With the rain moving in and Saturday & Sunday being watering days under our odd/even watering....it brings this thought to mind...do you have a rain sensor? Did your system water this morning or did you manually cut it off? If the answer to the last two questions are no, you need to get a rain sensor. Not only is it required it will automatically shut of your irrigation system when it rains.

New Irrigation System in Peachtree City

Rain Rain..wash the pollen away! Our project in Peachtree City has been delayed by the rain. It is about 60% completed and our guys are getting some much needed rest before the busy week we have ahead. We are hopeful the rain will move out in time tomorrow for them to get a little more done and finish up on Monday so that we can stay on schedule for our next new irrigation system.

Kia Motors - Spring Irrigation

I went to West Point yesterday to check out and confirm the watering schedule for the irrigation system at Kia Motors in West Point. Everything appears great and the first Solar Sync/ACC Decoder controller combo in commercial use is working perfectly. Look for pictures on the website by Monday!

New Irrigation System in Peachtree City

Today we will start a new irrigation system installation in Peachtree City. It's another highly efficient Hunter irrigation system with 6 zones, MP rotators, a Pro-C Controller and Solar Sync. Peachtree City requires permitting for irrigation to ensure that all systems are in compliance with state law for backflow prevention devices and rain sensors. They even inspect the backflow prevention device to ensure it is working properly.

Irrigation Repair Atlanta

To meet the increasing needs of our customers, we are adding an additional service technician for this season. The greatest demand for irrigation repair Atlanta is still what we are calling a system restore which are those systems that have been virtually unused during the last couple of years. We are also receiving a lot of calls for people looking to expand or add-on to their existing systems. When we do an add-on, if the customer's budget allows, we try to ensure that all state and/or county requirements are met as well such as backflow prevention and rain sensors.

Sprinkler System Repairs

We are still continuing to receive a large volume of calls for irrigation sprinkler system repairs. When contacting an irrigation company in Atlanta be sure to give them as much information as you can about your system and what it's doing or should I say, not doing. This will help to speed up the process of getting your system repaired.
