Landscape Lighting Atlanta

Outdoor lights are a beautiful accent for your landscape but they serve other purposes as well. As we mentioned before light is the number one theft deterrent but it also serves as a visual highlight for you beautiful home and yard. (Not to mention the advantage of being able to see when its dark outside). Normally people want to accent the home, outdoor trees and bushes, walkways and larger trees as well. Lighting can be used around patios, decks, firepits, and just about anywhere you can think of. (Like the deck you see pictured here.)

It is a good idea to check with your irrigation company to see if they can "shed some light on the situation" for you.

Seems simple enough but the questions are being asked!

An irrigation system will definitely save you money in the long run on watering.

When getting quotes for a new irrigation system there are many things to consider. Is the system properly designed? What type of equipment is being used? Are the state requirements for backflow prevention and rain sensors being met? What is the irrigation companies reputation? Will they be here for me to back my warranty in case of a problem? These items, above price, are the most important things to consider. It's great to get a cheap irrigation system but if you are efficiently using water, protecting your family with backflow prevention and if something goes wrong, can get the irrigation system fixed, then you might just wished you'd paid more so you have peace of mind.

Today I want to blog about the importance of proper separation of irrigation zones. Different plant types, soil types, and landscape layouts require different amounts of water. Combining grass and annuals into one irrigation system zone will give uneven watering. Meaning one area gets too much and one not enough. It is important that the irrigation system design plan takes into account the differences in these areas that it will water. Tomorrow, importance of proper heads & placement.

The Irrigation Associations "Irrigation Best Management Practices" provides that "the irrigation system shall be designed to be efficient and UNIFORMLY distribute the water." We see so many systems on the repair side of our business that are designed improperly. Design is the first cruicial step to assuring that you have an irrigation system that works properly. Anybody can throw pipe in the ground and call it irrigation, an irrigation professional does so much more.

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.
