Sprinkler Installation

Flower Bed and Shrub Irrigation

Drip and micro-spray watering for flower beds, shrubs, trees and gardens, delivered slowly at the roots where plants can use every drop.

Beds are not lawns, and they should not share a sprinkler zone with one. Lawns need a lot of water, delivered quickly across a wide area. Shrubs, perennials and trees need slow, deep moisture at the roots, with dry foliage to prevent leaf diseases. A spray head over a bed wastes water on leaves and mulch, and it soaks the soil unevenly, so some plants drown while others thirst.

We water beds with drip tubing and emitters or with micro-sprays, on their own zones with filters and pressure regulators. Emitters are placed by plant: more for large shrubs and trees, fewer for small perennials. The tubing is hidden under mulch and can be extended as the garden grows. Because drip delivers water slowly at the root zone, plants grow deeper roots, weeds have less to feed on and your water bill drops.

Water at the roots

Slow drip puts moisture where plants use it and keeps leaves dry, which helps prevent disease.

Plant-by-plant emitters

Large shrubs and trees get more emitters than small perennials, matched to each plant.

Filter and regulator

Drip needs clean water at low pressure, so each zone has the right filter and pressure regulator.

Hidden and expandable

Tubing sits under mulch and can be extended as you add plants.

How it works

Our process, start to finish.

  1. 01

    Call and schedule

    You tell us about your yard and what you want, a new system, a repair or a tune-up, and we set a visit that fits your day.

  2. 02

    Visit and inspect

    We walk the property, find the water source and valves, test pressure and flow, look at every head and zone and take photos of anything of note.

  3. 03

    Design and explain

    We explain your options for zones, heads, drip, controllers and savings, sketch the layout and give you a written scope with clear timing and pricing.

  4. 04

    Prepare the site

    We arrange for underground utilities to be located, protect the lawn, driveways and beds and mark every head, valve and pipe run before we dig.

  5. 05

    Install or repair

    We install or repair pipe, valves, heads and wiring with the right parts for each zone, flush the lines and keep the site tidy as we work.

  6. 06

    Start up and care

    We program the controller, test every zone with you, walk through watering and winterizing in plain steps and set a reminder for your next check.

Questions

Bed and Shrub Irrigation FAQ

Why not just use sprinklers on my beds?

Sprays waste water on leaves and mulch and water unevenly. Drip delivers water slowly at the roots of each plant.

How often should drip zones run?

Often less frequently but longer than sprays. The right schedule depends on plants, soil and season.

Can drip water trees?

Yes. Trees usually need several emitters or a ring of tubing, set out from the trunk in the drip line.

Will drip tubing be visible?

It is usually covered with mulch. Some connections and emitters stay visible for maintenance.

Can I add plants later?

Yes. Emitters and tubing can be added, as long as the zone has enough flow for the extra plants.
