Providing Cutting-Edge Irrigation Techniques
Sprinkalawn is renowned for installing irrigation systems with minimal lawn damage. They have been pioneers in the irrigation industry for more than forty years, being among the first and few to use trenchless installations. This approach sets them apart from many of their competitors, as it not only preserves the appearance of your lawn but also enables faster recovery compared to traditional trenching methods.
Trenchless Irrigation Techniques
At Sprinkalawn, we are committed to using the latest technologies and techniques to deliver the best results for our customers. This dedication is why we prefer installing irrigation systems using a vibratory plow rather than conventional trenching on established landscapes – a process that sets us apart from many of our competitors. A vibratory plow uses a much less invasive technique to install irrigation piping. It makes a narrow incision to pull the piping underground. This method preserves the look of your lawn and is more versatile, allowing us to install piping in tight spaces and delicate turf. This innovative approach highlights our commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction.
We use only high-quality Rain Bird parts that have been time-tested in the field. In addition, we use innovative pipe-pulling equipment to install your system. This is “trenchless” installation and makes for a much quicker and cleaner job – particularly in existing lawn situations. Our newest Rain Bird controllers now incorporate wireless capability using a downloadable smartphone app paired with the Rain Bird rain sensor makes for an efficient irrigation system.
Frequently Asked Questions
There are two types of leaks: (1) Continuous leak - this leak is on the mainline, and leaks 24/7, regardless of whether your irrigation system is running. It wastes a significant amount of water, leading to higher water bills. You may notice swampy areas on your lawn, which can help identify this leak if you regularly inspect your yard. (2) Intermittent irrigation leak – this leak occurs in a specific zone and only when the zone is active. Although less severe than a continuous leak, it still wastes water and can cause damage over time. These leaks are harder to identify since sprinkler systems typically run when no one is around to see the leak, making detection more challenging.
Regular inspections and maintenance of your irrigation system can help identify and address these leaks promptly, minimizing water waste and potential damage.
Modern controllers are digital and easy to set up. At Sprinkalawn, we use Rainbird controllers for our irrigation systems. Depending on the age of your controller, the setup process may vary. The most effective way to find instructions is to search for your specific model on YouTube. Rainbird offers a variety of instructional videos that explain how to reset and program your controller.
Sprinkalawn’s design team brings years of expertise in creating detailed installation plans. We consider the size and layout of your area, current and future landscape plans, and your goals for your lawn and gardens. Different types of vegetation have varying water needs, so we incorporate zoning into our designs. This allows you, the homeowner, to customize the watering schedule, giving more water to areas that need it and less to those that don’t. Our approach ensures your entire landscape receives the optimal amount of water, promoting healthy growth and conserving resources.
Sprinkalawn’s Annual Maintenance Agreement includes two automatic maintenance visits per year: the “spring start-up” and the “winter shutdown.” During the spring start-up, we turn on the system, inspect all components for issues or breaks, and adjust the sprinkler heads, as necessary.
Sprinkalawn is renowned for installing irrigation systems with minimal lawn damage. They have been pioneers in the irrigation industry for more than forty years, being among the first and few to use trenchless installations. They utilize several types of high-tech equipment and techniques for trenchless installation. One such technique is the vibratory plow, used whenever possible. This method creates a narrow slit in the ground while inserting pipes with minimal surface disruption, resulting in significantly less turf damage. This approach not only preserves the appearance of your lawn but also enables faster recovery compared to traditional trenching methods, which can leave unsightly scars on the landscape.
