Proper irrigation management lowers your water and landscape maintenance requirements and expenses. Maintaining a vibrant landscape without incurring water usage penalties is a big priority for commercial property owners. By making a few adjustments to landscape design, irrigation systems and watering schedules you can have a great landscape and still meet your conservation goals.
Tips for effective irrigation management
- Do a landscape survey: A landscape survey determines your growing conditions (soil and climate) helping you with plant and tree selection as well as irrigation planning. Planting native varieties and grouping plants according to water requirements can help reduce consumption significantly. Contact us for a landscape survey!
- Convert to a water-efficient landscape: Installing low water-use plants and water-wise irrigation systems, limiting turf or grass only to the ideal spots and using mulch to retain moisture will lower your irrigation and maintenance requirements.
- Devise a proper irrigation plan: Once you understand your landscape and plant requirements you can plan a workable watering schedule to avoid overwatering and eliminate wastage.
- Install a smart irrigation system: Smart irrigation systems reduce effort and stress while producing great results. The latest drip irrigation systems, smart sprinklers and controllers will enhance water efficiency by preventing run offs.
