Frequently Asked Questions About Irrigation Installation

Are There Any Special Requirements?

The only requirement for installing an irrigation or sprinkler system is a lawn and adequate water pressure. Before your irrigation installation, technicians will perform a pressure test and design a system that will suit your needs most efficiently. Should you require a larger water pump, you will be informed of this before your irrigation system is installed.

How Long Will It Take To Install?

Irrigation installation should take no more than one or two days.

Will The Installation Affect The Appearance Of My Lawn?

Professional landscapers understand the importance of lawn aesthetics and are specially trained to minimize any damage to your property. State-of-the-art equipment is used to pull the pipe through your lawn, and any seams made in the grass or turf should disappear within a few weeks.

How Long Should I Run My Sprinklers?

Rotary heads should run for 30 to 45 minutes on sunny days, and spray heads should only run for about 10 to 15 minutes each day. In the summertime and during dry weather, you should increase the time slightly.

Is There Any Maintenance?

You should perform regular maintenance checks during the summer season to ensure that everything is functioning properly and all areas are being watered adequately. You can have a remote device installed for checks, or your landscaping company will typically provide you with a yearly inspection by one of their trained professionals.

A lawn irrigation system will save you countless hours spent watering your lawn and will guarantee vibrant, green grass year-round. To schedule your irrigation installation or to learn more about residential and commercial landscaping, call (251) 269-8128 or visit the Emerald Coast Landscaping website.
