Peccorini Jim Irrigation & Landscaping | Professional Landscaping Services in Novato, CA

Yes, we can absolutely help. The first signs in our area are often soggy patches, a sudden spike in your water bill, or low pressure in certain zones. We recommend turning off your system and calling us for a professional inspection. Our irrigation repair service includes advanced leak detection to pinpoint the exact location—whether it's a cracked pipe, faulty valve, or broken head—without unnecessary digging. We then provide a clear, upfront repair plan to restore your system's efficiency and prevent water waste, which is so important here in Marin.

Proper construction is key to preventing the shifting we often see in Novato landscapes. It starts with a stable base. Our landscape installation team doesn't just place rocks; we excavate to the correct depth, install a compacted base of road base or decomposed granite for drainage and stability, and use geotextile fabric to prevent soil migration and weed growth. We then strategically place and secure larger rocks, sometimes setting them partially underground for anchorage. This methodical approach ensures your rock garden maintains its aesthetic and structural integrity for years, even on sloped properties.

Absolutely. Our irrigation design services are tailored for Novato's specific environment. We factor in your soil type (which can vary greatly), sun exposure, and plant zones to create a custom system. We prioritize zoning—grouping plants with similar water needs—and use pressure-regulating heads and drip irrigation where appropriate to maximize efficiency and minimize runoff. A well-designed system from the start uses less water and places less stress on pipes and components, significantly reducing the risk of the leaks and breaks that are common with older, non-optimized systems.
