Irrigation Systems Atlanta

Be sure that when you award an irrigation company in Atlanta your new irrigation system installation that you understand the complete scope of work. Are there any permits required, are those fees included? Is any landscape restoration included, if so what specifically? Things of that nature are very important so that you know exactly what to expect when your new irrigation system is completed.

Irrigation Repair

While having your irrigation system repaired be sure to ask your technician to take a good look at your system and make sure you have at least the minimum equipment necessary to water efficiently....starting with a rain sensor.

Irrigation Atlanta

As we finish up our one of our new irrigation installation projects, I wanted to remind you guys how important "service AFTER the sale" is. We have some customers who called over the weekend with a newly installed system with a warranty. Their controller is dead for whatever reason. 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.

Irrigation System Repairs

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.

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.

As always we we utiiize a double-check backflow prevention device, install a separate irrigation shut-off, and a winterization blow-out valve which makes winterization a snap.

Full coverage and Proper Irrigation System Design

Today someone asked me about "full coverage" and what exactly it meant when it comes to irrigation system installation.
Full coverage is head-to-head coverage in conjunction with proper precipitation rates. Meaning, your sprinkler head spray should touch all heads in its' spray area. Another important factor in proper irrigation system design is precipitation rates. This is where nozzles become important.
A qualified irrigation contractor or irrigation company in Atlanta will further address flow rate and other technical aspects required for proper design. These are all important factors in the design and installation of your new irrigation system. Remember, chose wisely, chose effectively and water efficiently.

Questions from average people about irrigation

In the last couple of days I've gotten several phone calls from people who want to get a new irrigation system. All of them seemed to have one thing in common - they didn't know much about irrigation design or planning - but just wanted water.

So I say it you that proper design (pipe size, head nozzles, etc.) by your irrigation company is essential. It's great if you got an irrigation system to water your lawn but not great if it's watering while it's raining or right after it stopped raining. It's also not good if you don't have proper coverage by your irrigation system that will result in brown or missed spots.

Keep in mind that different manufacturers' products offer different features. If your interested in efficiency products - ask about those. If you just want to water your roses, ask about just watering your roses. Make sure and let your irrigation contractor know what you need and want.

Be sure to do a little research when deciding on an irrigation company in Atlanta. Make sure you ask the right questions: product manufacturer, warranty, state requirements, years in business and other jobs and/or customer testimonials. Also, be sure to ask your irrigation contractor if they utilize the "full coverage" theory in irrigation. If not, missed spots there will be and you will never fully realize the potential for your irrigation system.

A little research and planning will take you a long way...chose wisely, chose effectively and water efficiently.
