Irrigation & Sprinkler Systems

Smart Watering Saves Money and Plants

Your landscape needs water to thrive, but not all watering systems are created equal. Old or poorly designed irrigation wastes water, drives up your utility bills, and can actually harm your plants through overwatering or uneven coverage. A good irrigation system delivers the right amount of water exactly where it is needed.

We design and install irrigation systems that work with Oakley's climate and water conservation needs. Whether you need a complete new system, upgrades to an existing setup, or repairs to fix problems, we handle everything. Our irrigation solutions keep your landscape healthy while using water efficiently.

Irrigation Systems We Install

Different parts of your landscape have different watering needs. We design systems that deliver water appropriately for each area:

• Spray irrigation for lawns: Efficient sprinkler heads provide even coverage for grass areas with adjustable patterns and distances.
• Drip irrigation for plants: Targeted watering delivers moisture directly to plant roots, reducing evaporation and water waste by up to 50%.
• Smart controllers: Weather-based controllers adjust watering schedules automatically based on rainfall, temperature, and humidity.
• Zone control: Separate zones let you water different areas on different schedules based on sun exposure, plant types, and soil conditions.
• Rain sensors: Automatic shutoff during rainfall prevents wasteful watering when nature does the job for you.
• Pressure regulation: Proper pressure ensures even water distribution and extends equipment life.

Save Water and Money

California water rates make efficiency important for your budget. But smart watering also helps your plants. Overwatering causes root rot, disease, and shallow root systems that make plants less drought-tolerant. Underwatering stresses plants and weakens them. The right amount at the right time keeps everything healthy.

We design irrigation systems that match your landscape's actual needs. Lawns and flower beds need more water. Established trees and drought-tolerant plants need less. Different soil types hold moisture differently. Sunny areas dry out faster than shaded spots. We account for all these factors when designing your system.

Modern smart controllers take efficiency even further by adjusting watering based on current weather conditions. Many systems connect to Wi-Fi so you can monitor and control watering from your phone. You can check if zones are running, make adjustments, and catch leaks before they waste significant water.

Professional Design and Installation

Good irrigation starts with good design. We assess your property's water pressure, existing plumbing connections, landscape layout, and plant watering requirements. Then we create a system design that provides proper coverage without waste.

During installation, we place lines and components carefully to avoid damaging existing landscaping. We test the entire system thoroughly before finishing to ensure every zone works correctly and coverage is even. We also show you how to operate your new system and adjust settings as needed.

Many customers combine irrigation installation with other services like landscape design or new sod installation. Getting irrigation right from the beginning helps new landscaping establish quickly and reduces ongoing maintenance.

Keep Your System Running Smoothly

Even quality irrigation systems need occasional maintenance. Sprinkler heads get damaged by mowers or foot traffic. Valves wear out. Lines develop leaks. Controllers need battery replacement or setting adjustments. Regular maintenance catches these issues before they waste water or damage your landscape.

We offer irrigation repair services for systems we install and for existing systems that need attention. Common repairs include replacing broken sprinkler heads, fixing leaking valves, clearing clogged drip lines, and updating old controllers. We can also upgrade older systems with modern, more efficient components to reduce water use and improve performance.
