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.
