Water is a precious commodity and we need to conserve as much as possible. During mid-season, Late July – August, it is the perfect time to ensure your system is running at it’s fullest potential and doing what it can for the environment.
Our inspections are a complete flow test of your entire system, ensuring optimal operation. We make sure each and every valve and sprinkler head is in check and inspect your yard for any leakage.
Re-programming your timer is essential to adjust watering rates according to the season. Our technicians can re-program your system to make sure everything is working as it should.
Eliminating water from the pipes, valves and heads is essential before freezing occurs. A proper blow out is essential for the protection of your system. A shop compressor will not do the job needed to successfully clear your lines with the proper protection. That could in fact damage your system significantly.
To protect your investment, it must be done correctly. We winterize hundreds of systems every year and we guarantee our work.
This method is what we specialize in! Due to the risk of damaging pipes and the danger to your care, our highly trained experts do this job with ease for you. This method use compressed air to clear water from all valves and pipes making it the most accurate and best way to winterize.
Drip irrigation helps your gardens thrive. By providing a slow and easy drip through specialized piping and tubing, water slowly releases to nourish your plants without over watering them. The water loosens the soil and allows the water to easily seep down to the roots at the base of the plant where nourishment is most vital.
Our highly trained staff is ready to take on your drip irrigation needs so your mind is put at ease knowing your plants are cared for.

Without a proper drainage system, your landscape design can be destroyed. As water nourishes your turf and garden beds, it can also be destructive to your foundation and yard as a whole. Due to poor drainage, erosion of your property and surrounding areas can ruin, making all of the hard work on aesthetics ineffective.
During the planning phase of your landscape design, we pay attention to the way water behaves in each area. This gives us an insight on how to create effective drainage solutions in new planted areas and how to address existing drainage issues.
When heavy rains or large amount of snow melts on the lands surface, that water needs to flow somewhere. Due to roads, large driveways, and rooftops water is prevented from seeping into the ground, where it flows naturally. Wherever it ends up, it ends up.
Our skilled technicians test the water flow and create alleys, or ditches for the water to flow in a controlled area, as to not create puddles in your beautifully designed garden beds, or create pools of water on your lush, green lawn.
To compliment your irrigation system we can completely re-sod or renovate your existing lawn so you can have a fresh start! We use the most up to date equipment to do this in the most non-intrusive and non-damaging way. Addition of top quality soils and turf that area appropriate to the sun and shade requirements are all taken into account. If you have problem areas, where grass just doesn’t want to grow we can assist with use of Synthetic Lawn as well.
If your lawn is in decent condition but you would like to give it some new life we can implement dethaching, aerating , topdressing, overseeding and fertilizing.
We can also use slit seeding to get the grass seeds into the topsoil layer for quicker germination!
This is an excellent solution for those areas around your property that typical lawn may not be working. And also for areas that you would prefer to do less regular lawn cutting. It also works very well for pet areas!
The synthetic lawn is perforated for drainage. We excavate the soil and prepare the base with gravel before installing the artificial turf.
