When the irrigation division
arrives at a jobsite they come fully equipped to tackle any obstacle
that might present itself. There is a 25 foot enclosed rolling
workshop with a full inventory that is always stocked. They
have the capability of installing several complete irrigation
systems just with the inventory on hand.
We ensure overall quality
of the irrigation system. The purpose of an irrigation system
is to apply supplemental water that is needed by turf and landscape
plants when natural moisture and rainfall is not sufficient.
A quality irrigation system is required to effectively distribute
this supplemental water in a way that maintains healthy turf and
landscape plants while conserving and protecting water resources.
Our irrigation systems are designed to be efficient and to uniformly
distribute the water. Your irrigation system should be regularly
maintained to keep the integrity of the design and to sustain
the efficient and uniform distribution of the water. To
conserve water, the irrigation schedule should be changed or controlled
as required depending on weather changes and environmental conditions. Yard Elves provides a rain sensor on every installation which,
according to precipitation, will shut down your system when it
is not necessary to water.
Zone layout is based
on soil properties, slope, plant materials water requirements,
root zone depth, weather conditions, site conditions, supply pressure,
and minimum acceptable application rates. Other factors such as
soil infiltration rate, slope, and design are considered when
selecting nozzles and sprinkler heads to reduce the potential
for runoff. Proper irrigation can minimize how much fertilizer
and other chemicals are leached past the root zone of the grass
or washed away by runoff. Runoff occurs because the soil
is unable to absorb the water being applied. Runoff is affected
by the precipitation rate of the sprinkler, the length of time
the sprinkler is left running and the irrigation application slope,
soil type, and root depth. Conserving water resources is
one of the best ways to maintain high water quality. Don't
use more than is needed.
The plan will be part of
a comprehensive landscape management plan that will address other
cultural practices and issues such as mowing, fertilizing, etc.
The irrigation system is a management tool and cannot replace
the sound judgment of trained professionals.
