Technologies and services
Irrigation Audits & Assessments
An irrigation audit is the method of inspecting and measuring how effective the sprinklers are working together to apply the water within each individual irrigation zone or test area. Results are compiled and used in combination with other observations and measurements to facilitate irrigation management.
Water Reuse Systems
Water Reuse Systems or Water harvesting provides an independent water supply during regional water restrictions and in developed countries is often used to supplement the main supply. It can provide water when there is a drought, can help reduce demand on wells and on regional water supplies.
SMART Controller Technologies
Smart irrigation controllers help to manage watering schedules and run times automatically to meet specific landscape needs. These controllers are a proven technology that can improve outdoor water and could help save up to 30% of landscape water
use.
Fertilizer Injection
Fertilizer Injection or Fertigation is a process in which synthetic or organic fertilizer is distributed along with water in your drip or spray irrigation system. There is abundant research available that supports the superiority of fertigation as compared to traditional fertilizing techniques.
Low Volume Type Irrigation
Also known as Low-flow irrigation systems, or microirrigation, is an irrigation method that operates under a lower water pressure than spray or rotor systems with a “lower-flow” resulting when combined with water delivery components. Low volume irrigation is used in agriculture, horticulture, nursery and other growing industries.
Compost Teas
Compost tea makes the benefits of compost go farther. What’s more, when sprayed on the leaves, compost tea helps suppress foliar diseases, increases the amount of nutrients available to the plant, helps rebuild soil and speeds the breakdown of toxins. Compost teas can also be distributed through the irrigation system via fertilizer Injection.

Conservation in the landscape depends on intelligent use of water resources. Many landscape professionals rely on irrigation systems to supplement water that plants receive from rainfall.
Keeping these systems functioning properly is key to conserving water. Using an irrigation auditor to help determine if your irrigation systems are working adequately and comply with local and state requirements is truly a sound investment.
