De Jong Irrigation: Certified Landscapers Serving Chico, CA 95926

Tree roots seeking water are a frequent challenge in our area. We address this by first assessing the extent of the damage to your existing sprinkler or drip lines. Our repair services can fix broken pipes and relocate lines away from major root zones where possible. For a long-term solution, we often recommend upgrading to a more robust, root-resistant piping or designing a new irrigation zone specifically for the tree's drip line using deep-watering bubblers, which delivers water directly to the roots and away from vulnerable lawn sprinkler heads.

Our design service starts with evaluating your Chico property's sun exposure, soil type, and plant material. We then create a customized zoning plan that groups plants with similar water needs together. This includes selecting the right equipment—such as efficient drip lines for beds, micro-sprinklers for ground cover, and rotors for lawns—and integrating smart controllers that automatically adjust watering based on weather conditions. The goal is to build a system that promotes plant health while conserving water, and we can help you apply for relevant rebates like CalWater's lawn conversion program.

Absolutely. Our landscaping services extend beyond installation to include comprehensive care for your plants. For shrubs and trees, we offer pruning, trimming, and health assessments. If you notice signs of disease or insect infestation, common in the Chico area, we can diagnose the issue and implement a management plan. This may involve environmentally mindful treatments, corrective pruning to remove affected areas, and recommendations for improving overall plant vigor through proper irrigation and soil care to prevent future problems.
