#1 Irrigation Installation & Repair Services in Palm Beach County

Are you thinking of having an Irrigation System installed?

There are many things to consider before you can have them installed. You need to thoroughly understand your landscape. What is your soil type? The type of soil can help you determine what kind of Irrigation Method and Irrigation Interval you would need. For example, soil that has a sandier texture would need to be watered frequently at a high rate. This needs to be done so that moisture can be kept at the root zone. Soils that have a tighter clay base can hold moisture for a longer period of time if compared to sandy soils. In this case, clay soil would need to be watered frequently but at a lower rate so that runoff can be prevented.

Besides that, you would also need some knowledge of land topography. For example, if your landscape currently has a slope, then it may pose a challenge. Drip irrigation is known to work well in these cases. However, the intervals of when it should be watered must be adjusted so that runoff can be prevented. If your landscape has high wind or has low humidity, then it is advised to avoid having sprinklers in place. Why? Because the evaporation rate would be very high. It is good to note, that drip irrigation can work well in either one of these situations.
