While Emerald Coast Landscaping can customize your irrigation system, here are a few things to keep in mind while developing your sprinkler system design:

  • The Lay of the Land: Depending on the layout of your property, you will have to modify your irrigation system to accommodate for drainage. If your property sits on an incline, you can plan on placing more sprinkler heads further up the slope and fewer further down since the water will drain in that direction.

You’ll need to consider the water pressure of your outdoor outlets. Based on the reading, you can make sure plants that require less water won’t be drowned by placing fewer sprinkler heads to accommodate for the flow.
  • Specifications & Details: Of course, you’ll want to select the type of irrigation system to use on your property, too. With a variety of systems to choose from, including water-saving sprinkler heads and automated systems, you’ll be able to personalize your irrigation system design down to the last detail.
