Frequently Asked Questions
How do you design an irrigation system for a Portland property with a rock garden or delicate shrubs?
For properties with rock gardens or sensitive plantings common in the Portland area, our design process is meticulous. We carefully map the terrain and plant types to create distinct watering zones. This allows us to deliver precise, low-volume irrigation directly to root zones where needed, avoiding overspray that can erode soil around rocks or overwater shallow-rooted shrubs. Using components like drip lines or micro-sprays from Netafim or Rainbird, we ensure efficient water use that protects your landscape investment from the shifting and die-off associated with improper watering.
What is included in your irrigation maintenance service, and why is it important in Maine?
Our maintenance service includes a thorough spring startup to pressurize and test your system, adjust heads and timers for the season, and identify any winter damage. In the fall, we perform a complete winterization, blowing out all water lines to prevent freezing and costly pipe bursts—a critical step for Maine winters. Regular maintenance checks throughout the season ensure optimal performance, conserve water, and extend the life of your system by catching small issues like leaks or clogged heads before they become major problems.
Can you handle both the landscape installation and the irrigation system for a new property?
Yes, absolutely. As a full-service provider, we offer integrated landscape construction and irrigation design. This coordinated approach is highly effective. We can install your new lawns, planting beds, or hardscapes and simultaneously design and install a custom irrigation system tailored precisely to those new elements. This ensures your new landscape receives the right amount of water from day one, promoting healthy establishment and eliminating the need for disruptive retrofitting later on.
