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!

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!

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.
New Sprinkler System: Hamptom
This morning we will start a new sprinkler system installation in Hampton. This customer set a budget for there system and with a little help from us, they are able to get a great Hunter irrigation system that meets all state and safety requirements. This customer was reasonable about their new irrigation system and what they could afford to pay for it.

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.

Sod & Irrigation
If your thinking about new sod and have an existing irrigation system, test it before you lay the sod to ensure it's working properly. This time of year irrigation companies in Atlanta tend to get backed up and you might find yourself in a not so favorable situation ofr irrigation repair in Atlanta.
If you don't have an existing irrigation system, plan to have your system installed before the sod is laid. This seems logical but many customers I'm coming across this season are thinking of this as an after thought.
Plan ahead to water your lawn!

Irrigation Backflow Prevention
Ok...today I'm going to vent. It is irresponsible and dangerous for an irrigation company to NOT install a backflow prevention device on a new irrigation system. The key to prevent contaminants such as fertilizers, pesticides and animal waste is simple...BACKFLOW PREVENTION. Valves are not sufficient to stop backflow and water pressure is not always constant enough to prevent backflow. More counties and cities are setting standards for backflow prevention and they need to. In the last two weeks alone, I've seen 6 systems without backflow (installed in the last 5 years) and my techs have seen even more. Don't gamble with your health. You can have a beautiful lawn and be safe about it. BACKFLOW PREVENTION is not only the law but THE SMART THING TO DO.
Atlanta Sprinkler Repair: Irrigation Valves
We are receiving numerous calls relating to valve problems with sprinkler systems this year. In about 75% of the cases, we are able to re-build the valve which is a more cost effective way to repair the problem as opposed to replacing the valve altogether.
In fact, for the first time in 10 years, I have a leaky valve on my system. By replacing parts and cleaning it, not only did I save myself time, but money as well. If your irrigation repair company tells you that you need a new valve, be sure to ask if repair is possible. It's not always possible but in some cases valves can be repaired.

New Irrigation System
Today we will finish up the new irrigation system in Sharpsburg. In addition to irrigation, our customer chose to do some drainage re-construction at the same time. Once her new landscaping is complete, he new yard should be nothing short of beautiful.
This customer researched and knew exactly what they were looking for in their new irrigation system. She also knew what she wanted from her irrigation contractor as well. Take a few minutes and research a little about irrigation and the irrigation company in Atlanta that you chose. It may save you a little trouble later.

Irrigation Project in Peachtree City
We received a wonderful customer review today:
"Gregg, the owner, approached this project with an understanding of our tight timeline. He was at our home very quickly for an estimate, and immediately followed up with a drawing and pricing confirmation. The installation crew members were polite and professional, and the job was both started and completed when Gregg said it would be. Team leader Scott took the time necessary to explain how the system worked and answered all of my questions. VP Carla was polite, professional, and very quick with complete responses to my questions, whether e-mailed or phoned in. I think the true measure of a company's commitment to customer service is how they handle things that may go wrong. We had a minor little issue - the TV/internet/phone cable was cut (very expected in this type of job). When I walked outside to mention it to Gregg, he was already aware, apologized, and had it repaired in about 5 minutes. As an added bonus, his team buried the cable appropriately (which was something the cable company had NOT done). We've had work done around our home (interior and exterior) over the years, and although I've been satisfied, I have never let a company put one of their 'advertising' signs in my front yard. I made an exception for Millenium. I will definitely recommend them to my friends and neighbors in the area." M.B. McCoy - Peachtree City

Efficient Irrigation Practices
The anniversary of EARTH DAY is April 22nd. Do your part and plan an activity for your family or in your community. We are continuing our efforts in promoting more efficient irrigation practices in our service area. Check out our website for more information.
Irrigation Repair Atlanta
When having your irrigation repaired in Atlanta, ask the irrigation company to do a thorough inspection of your system to eliminate the need for a second service call and more expense. A simple visual inspection can tell an experienced irrigation contractor a lot of what is going on with you system. Minor adjustments can save you future watering costs.
Separate Irrigation System Meter
Having a separate irrigation meter is a great way to maximize your water savings by not paying sewer rates on the water used for to run your irrigation system. When planning for a new system, it is important that your irrigation contractor knows the laws and regulations in the city or county of your project. Some counties require separate irrigation meters and others, like Fulton County, won't allow them any longer. Do your research and make sure your irrigation contractor knows the rules to save you headaches and money later.
New Irrigation System Installation
Today will be the first of probably 3 days of a new irrigation system installation. This project has 6 zones (one of micro misters), a Pro-C controller and highly efficient Hunter Solar Sync. When installing an irrigation system in this county, you are required to get a separate irrigation meter. We are combining this with drainage correction and look forward to getting started.

Don't wait too long to get your sprinkler system repaired or you may find yourself stuck with that huge water bill!
New Irrigation System Installation
Today we'll do our part in the total lawn remodel for a customer in Peachtree City when we install her new irrigation system. We have worked with the landscape designer on this project to provide our customer with the system she needs to suit her newly designed lawn. Peachtree City is one of the few counties or cities that requires a permit and inspection of backflow prevention devices for irrigation. While backflow is provided, it must be test and therefore, a double check backflow device is required. We use double check backflow devices on all of our new irrigation installations as they provide the highest protection for your water.

Sprinkler System Spring Start-Ups: Not what they used to be
After the water restrictions from our drought in Atlanta and limited time last year to water, we are overwhelmed with phone calls from people wanting to start their systems up this year. We are finding that the limited usage over the last 2-3 years in conjunction with this year's extreme cold are making some start-ups more complicated than usual. It is important to properly maintain your irrigation system every year just like having the oil changed in your car. Preventative maintenance goes a long way. We are still running our $99 spring start-up special through April 30th and may extend it due to the number of calls we are receiving. Keep in mind though your system may require more work than a standard spring start-up if it hasn't been used in the last couple of years.
New Irrigation System in Marietta
We will start a highly efficient new irrigation system in Marietta this morning. This system is a Hunter MP Rotator system that provides superior watering with maximum efficiency. The customer has chosen to install some much needed drainage at the same time. This customer spent many hours researching, checking references and chose my company for her new installation. We are excited about this project and look forward to getting this new irrigation system installed.

New Sprinkler System
If your still thinking about a new sprinkler system, now is the time to move forward as things progress through the spring many companies find themselves running a few weeks before being able to start your new irrigation system installation. Don't forget the importance of a rain sensor and backflow prevention device which are state required but often skipped by some contractors.
Atlanta Sprinkler Repair: Cost & Experience
When your searching around for an irrigation company in Atlanta to repair your sprinkler system be sure to confirm the cost involved and confirm the experience they have to get the job done. Some companies claim no service fee and quite often have a 1 hour minimum time that often exceeds another companies service fee. At my company we do charge a small service fee which includes unlimited time of diagnosis except in the case of electrical troubleshooting.

Spring Start-up: Irrigation/Lawn Sprinkler
When starting up your irrigation/lawn sprinkler system be sure to consider any new plantings or growth so that the system will properly and efficiently cover those areas. If your plants or shrubs are drought resistant or require no more than natural rainfall, consider capping the zone or the heads so that you can save that water! A full Spring Start-Up completed by a reputable irrigation company in Atlanta should ensure that your system is working at it's best and they should also make recommendations for improvements.

Getting your irrigation system started up and repaired
We are experiencing a very high level of irrigation repair calls in Atlanta. We are seeing a significant increase in valve related issues as well as pipe breaks that were probably a result of the length of the extreme cold weather we had over the winter. Take the time to start your system up and check it out thoroughly to avoid costly repairs or water bills later. When chosing an irrigation company in Atlanta to repair your system look for experience in repairs as these can often be complex and expensive if your technician doesn't have the experience necessary to diagnosis your problem.

New Irrigation System
Now is definitely the time to finalize your plans for a new irrigation system. Be sure to us a reputable Atlanta irrigation company that will comply with the state laws for rain sensors and backflow. Also, each county has it's own requirements so make sure they know your county's requirements as well. Take the time to chose wisely - cheaper is not always better - you often get what you pay for so if you want the best it may cost you a little more but in the long run you will save a lot of money!
Do it yourself spring start-up
So you want to save a little money this...which we are understand things have been hard. Here are a couple of tips to help you do so. Run a short 3-4 minutes on each of your irrigation system zones. Check for heads spraying improperly there could be several reasons for this from grass, debris to broken heads or nozzles. Check all valve boxes to see if you see water in those. Watch for spots of water in between heads (along irrigation lines) or pooling at the head which could indicate a problem with the head. If you spot anything or need advice, ask us and we'll try to help you. Don't forget that if you winterized your system to turn the shut off back on to re-pressurize the system first. Walk through each zone as it runs and check it out. This will help you to avoid costly repairs later. You can learn more about our $99 spring start-up on our website.

Go ahead and contact an irrigation company in Atlanta to make those repairs so that your system is ready for this season.
