managed Landscape Irrigation Services

Irrigation is a critical infrastructure system within every landscape. Our managed irrigation planning supports plant health, adapts to site conditions, and promotes water efficiency while preserving the integrity of the overall design. From system design to seasonal calibration, our team brings expert planning, efficient technology, and trusted service to your property.

irrigation is essential infrastructure

A properly designed and professionally managed irrigation system is foundational to the health, stability, and long-term performance of your landscape. Inconsistent watering, poorly placed heads, or outdated controls can undermine even the most expertly planned planting design, leading to avoidable stress, decline, and costly corrections over time.

Because our irrigation services are fully integrated with landscape architecture and long-term property maintenance, each system reflects a detailed understanding of soil, grading, plant selection, and projected growth. Seasonal oversight and fine-tuning keep performance efficient and discreet, aligning water management with the ongoing stewardship of your property.

frequently asked irrigation questions

1. How important is irrigation to the health of my landscape?
Irrigation plays a critical role in plant establishment, health, and longevity. Proper watering supports root development, flowering, and overall landscape performance.
2. Do you service systems you didn’t install?
Yes. While irrigation is most effective when integrated into our broader landscape work, we do evaluate and service existing systems.
3. Can you upgrade my system with smart technology?
Absolutely. We install smart controllers, rain sensors, and other efficiency upgrades to improve system performance and water use.
4. How often should my irrigation system be checked?
Systems should be reviewed seasonally at minimum. Properties enrolled in our maintenance program benefit from ongoing monitoring and adjustments.
5. Is it better to repair or replace an older system?
It depends on the system’s age and condition. In some cases, retrofitting is effective, but older systems may benefit from full replacement for efficiency and reliability.

plan ahead for the growing season

Irrigation challenges often surface gradually through dry spots, runoff, or inconsistent plant health. Addressing these issues early allows adjustments to be made before peak summer demand places stress on your landscape. A professional irrigation consultation provides clarity around system efficiency, water distribution, and long-term sustainability. We develop a clear path forward so your landscape receives consistent, precise care throughout the season.
