Frequently Asked Questions
What does a typical new irrigation system installation involve for a property in Orleans?
For a standard quarter-acre lot in Orleans, a new in-ground system typically involves a custom design to suit your soil and plant types, followed by professional construction. Costs generally range from $3,000 to $5,000, with each irrigation zone costing between $800 and $1,200 to install. We assess factors like soil compaction, common in our area, to ensure proper water penetration and system efficiency from the start.
How do you handle common local irrigation problems like sprinkler leaks or compacted soil?
Sprinkler leaks and soil compaction are frequent issues for Cape Cod properties. For repairs, we diagnose and fix leaks, often replacing sprinkler heads or valves, with most jobs taking 1-2 hours. For soil compaction, which hinders water absorption, our design and installation services include strategies like aeration recommendations or adjusting system pressure to ensure water reaches plant roots effectively, preventing runoff and waste.
What maintenance services do you offer, and what is the typical cost?
We offer routine irrigation maintenance and repair services to keep your system running smoothly. A standard maintenance visit, which includes cleaning sprinkler heads and a full system inspection, typically costs around $150. For repairs or more involved work, our professional service rate is $75 per hour. This proactive care helps prevent major issues, extends your system's lifespan, and conserves water.
