Irrigation is a Latin word that dates back to the 1600s and means to “supply land with water”. Farmers irrigate their crops, and home owners with large gardens or lawns can benefit from irrigation in the same way.

What are the different types of irrigation?

Any method of water your plants other than natural rain is irrigation. Technically anytime you take a water can and water a plant you are part of the irrigation process. That method is called manual irrigation. While being the most common it is also the most labour intensive. While farmers can use a variety of methods for their crops, most homeowners looking to water their gardens or lawns will stick to the basics. Drip irrigation involves the slow release of drops of water at the roots of plants. This method is common in vegetable greenhouses but can be mimicked with a drip irrigation hose. These hoses can be weaved through your garden bed and turned on for 30 minutes to an hour each day to keep your plants hydrated. The hoses need to be put away each winter to avoid freezing are not a good solution for lawns. Sprinkler type irrigation systems are a specialty of ours and are the best option for clients who want the least amount of hassle or maintenance. The pipes run underground and out of sight. The same system can water your gardens and your lawn and helps to conserve water and save you time and effort.

Do irrigation systems require maintenance?

Sprinkler irrigation systems require very little maintenance. Once programed they work tirelessly keeping your plants healthy and green without you doing a thing. Naturally with any system minor and occasional maintenance is required to keep the system running at optimal efficiency.

How do you install an irrigation system?

When running an irrigation line through a garden, a trench is hand dug, pipe is buried inside the trench and the irrigation line can then be fed through the pipe. In a lawn, we use a special machine that cuts into the grass, and lays the pipe as it goes, barley leaving any trace of where it has been. This machine allows us to cover large amounts of ground efficiently with out marking or destroying the existing surface. Finally, a control panel is installed to allow the owner to set and program the automatic system.
