Irrigation & Sprinkler Systems

Why Irrigation Systems Matter

Hand watering your yard takes time you probably do not have. Dragging hoses around, forgetting to turn off sprinklers, and uneven coverage waste water and harm your plants. A properly designed irrigation system delivers the right amount of water exactly where it is needed, automatically, every time.

In Glendora, water efficiency matters. California's climate means we deal with drought conditions regularly. Smart irrigation helps your landscape stay healthy while conserving this precious resource. Modern systems can reduce water usage by 30 to 50 percent compared to manual watering. That saves money on your water bill while being environmentally responsible.

Our Irrigation Services

We design, install, repair, and maintain all types of irrigation systems. Here is what we offer:

• Custom irrigation design for new landscapes and retrofits
• Sprinkler system installation with proper zone planning
• Drip irrigation for gardens, shrubs, and trees
• Smart controllers that adjust watering based on weather
• Rain sensors and soil moisture sensors
• System repairs including broken pipes, valves, and sprinkler heads
• Seasonal startup and winterization services
• System audits to improve efficiency and coverage

We take time to understand your landscape's specific needs. Different plants require different amounts of water. Sunny areas need more than shaded spots. Slopes require different coverage than flat areas. Our designs account for all these factors, creating zones that deliver appropriate water to each area.

Types of Irrigation Systems

Choosing the right irrigation method for each area maximizes plant health and water efficiency.

Sprinkler Systems

Traditional spray heads work well for lawns and groundcover. Pop-up sprinklers stay hidden when not in use. Rotor heads cover larger areas with rotating streams. We select head types based on coverage area, precipitation rate, and plant needs. Proper spacing ensures every spot gets adequate water without overspray onto hardscaping.

Drip Irrigation

Drip systems deliver water directly to plant root zones. They use 30 to 50 percent less water than sprinklers by eliminating evaporation and runoff. Drip lines work great for planting beds, vegetable gardens, and individual trees or shrubs. They keep water off foliage, reducing disease problems. We use drip irrigation extensively in our landscape installations.

Smart Controllers

Smart irrigation controllers connect to weather data and adjust watering schedules automatically. If rain is forecast, the system skips that day's watering. On hot, windy days, it runs a bit longer. You can control everything from your smartphone, checking status or making adjustments from anywhere. Many water agencies offer rebates for upgrading to smart controllers.

Professional Installation and Maintenance

Irrigation systems have many components working together underground. Proper installation prevents leaks, ensures adequate pressure at all heads, and creates uniform coverage. We install systems that last for years with minimal problems.

Our installation process includes pressure testing, valve placement in accessible locations, proper pipe depth and backfill, and controller programming optimized for your landscape. We mark valve box locations and provide system documentation so you know where everything is.

Regular maintenance keeps your system running efficiently. We offer seasonal checkups to inspect for leaks, adjust spray patterns, clean filters, and update programming. Spring startup ensures everything survived winter. Fall winterization prevents freeze damage. These simple services extend system life and prevent water waste. Our maintenance plans work perfectly with our lawn care services for complete landscape management.
