Understanding Drip Systems and Zones
Fine-tune your watering system at the root zone with expertly engineered drip systems that supply measured gallons per hour precisely where vegetation requires it. Enjoy controlled irrigation, reduced evaporation, and balanced distribution across growing zones with diverse requirements.
We implement irrigation zones with zoned emitters matched to vegetation, soil composition, and terrain. Multiple irrigation delivery methods let you target garden beds, hedgerows, and mature trees without overspray. Controlled water pressure stabilizes output, preventing emitter blowouts and uneven wetting. We specify filtration to protect orifices, and establish precise component placement from infiltration rates preventing water pooling and excess surface flow.
You'll have complete control of each irrigation zone separately for seasonal modifications and growth phases. We ensure optimal function using comprehensive system tests, then document the layout, valve configurations and maintenance requirements for reliable, efficient watering.
Rainwater Integration System
Across the entire system, we implement rain harvesting into your irrigation setup to offset potable demand and maintain soil moisture. We begin by analyzing site hydraulics: assess harvesting capacity, gutter capacity, and primary discharge levels, then select food-grade roof cisterns sized to storm intensity and drought targets. We combine pre-filtration with ultraviolet or ozone treatment, coordinate pump curves to emitter pressure, and regulate valves via moisture readings and weather forecasts.
Our system offers an integrated storage solution mixing harvested rainwater with water reclamation where local ordinances enable, providing alternative water sources to watering systems without cross-connection risk. We engineer overflow pathways to bioswales and permeable basins, stopping soil loss and enhancing aquifer replenishment.
