8 Customizations We Offer for Our Local Irrigation System Installations

Dec 26, 2023

Are you looking to install a new irrigation system for your home or business? You don't want just any old generic system. You want one tailored specifically for your unique property and needs. That's where a local irrigation system specialist, such as our team at Sanford Water Works, can help! We specialize in fully customizable irrigation system installations for properties throughout the Uvalde, TX area. Here are just some of the ways to customize your new irrigation system.



1. Customized Sprinkler and Drip Line Placement


We don't take a one-size-fits-all approach when designing your local irrigation system. Every property is unique, with its own layout and landscaping features. Our team will walk your property to determine the optimal placement for sprinklers, drip lines, valves, and other components based on factors like sunlight exposure, soil type, and plant watering needs in each area. The result is an irrigation system tailored to efficiently water every inch of your landscape.



2. Specialized Zoning for Watering Different Areas


With customized zoning, you can program your irrigation system to separately water lawn areas, flower and shrub beds, trees, and other specific sections of your landscape according to their individual needs. We'll help divide your property into zones based on plant type, sun exposure, and other factors so you don't end up improperly watering certain areas. Proper zoning saves water and keeps all areas of your landscape lush and healthy.



3. Smart Irrigation Controls and Sensors


New smart irrigation controllers allow you to program and control your system from your smartphone or tablet, set automatic watering schedules, check your system status, and more. We can also add advanced sensors that detect rain, soil moisture, wind, and other real-time conditions at your property to automatically adjust watering times for greater efficiency. This saves time, water, and hassle compared to old-fashioned controllers.



4. Upgraded Pipes and Valves


Depending on the specifics of your property, we may recommend upgrading beyond standard PVC pipes to stronger and longer-lasting pipes that can withstand freezing temperatures, UV rays, rust, and other hazards. We can install thicker, reinforced piping that can handle high water pressure. We'll use high-grade, durable valves designed to operate trouble-free for years. Upfront investment in industrial-grade components prevents leaks, breaks, and ongoing repairs down the road.



5. Extended Watering Range and Adjustable Risers


Does your landscape include unusually large open areas, irregular shapes, or planting beds far from the home? We can customize sprinklers with adjustable risers to cover any area size or shape. We'll use high-efficiency rotary sprinkler heads with extended watering radii to easily reach 60 feet or more. You'll enjoy complete, uniform coverage for your entire landscape with a local irrigation system.



6. Discrete Drip Irrigation for Plant Beds and Trees


For flower beds, shrubs, trees, and gardens, we recommend installing subsurface drip line irrigation. Drip lines deliver water directly to plant roots with pinpoint accuracy, avoiding evaporation and runoff. Discreet tubing can be buried under mulch or ground cover to water landscape areas without visible above-ground components. It's the ideal efficient irrigation method for non-turf planters and gardens.



7. Rainwater Catchment Options


To maximize sustainability and water savings, we can customize your local irrigation system to utilize onsite rainwater catchment, letting you rely less on your main water supply. Captured rainwater provides a free, pure irrigation source. Reusing this water for landscaping reduces outdoor water demands. We can seamlessly integrate these eco-friendly water sources with traditional irrigation solutions.



8. Professional Installation and Ongoing Service


The full benefits of a customized irrigation system only come with professional design and installation. From planning and equipment selection to trenching, pipe laying, and connecting all components, our experienced team will handle the entire process. We'll also provide seasonal activation and winterization, repairs, tune-ups, upgrades, and 24/7 emergency service so your system operates flawlessly year after year.

Water is one of the most important elements for your plants, trees, shrubs, and lawn. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the average American family uses 320 gallons of water per day, about 30% of which is devoted to outdoor uses. Your local irrigation system should meet the needs of your family and landscaping alike. This is why you should ditch the cookie-cutter irrigation system approach. With customized features, components, and controls, we'll design and install a system tailored to your unique property for maximum efficiency. Give our team at Sanford Water Works a call today. Let's talk about creating a customized system for your outdoor space.
