Questions and Answers
As a Palo Alto homeowner, how can you help with my dry lawn patches and tree root damage?
These are common local issues we address directly. For dry patches, we conduct a thorough irrigation evaluation to identify under-watered zones, broken heads, or pressure problems, followed by precise repairs or system adjustments. For tree root damage, we assess the situation to determine if the lawn can be repaired or if a redesign with more root-tolerant ground covers or a new irrigation layout is the better, long-term solution. Our approach combines practical repair with design insight to create a landscape that thrives in our local conditions.
What does your irrigation design and construction service involve?
Our irrigation design service starts with a site assessment of your Palo Alto property's sun exposure, soil type, and plant needs. We then create a custom, zone-based layout that groups plants with similar water requirements. The construction involves installing efficient components, often prioritizing drip irrigation or micro-spray for planting beds to conserve water. As licensed contractors with decades of installation experience, we ensure the system is built correctly for reliable, long-term performance and easier maintenance.
Do you handle both one-time repairs and ongoing landscape maintenance?
Yes, we offer both. For urgent issues like a broken valve or a major leak, we provide focused irrigation repair services to get your system functioning again. For homeowners who prefer comprehensive care, our landscape maintenance service includes regular irrigation system checks, seasonal adjustments, plant care, and lawn mowing. This proactive maintenance helps prevent small problems from becoming larger, more costly repairs, keeping your garden healthy throughout the year.
