The average size home sprinkler system takes one to two days to install. A large estate home can take from three days to one week. A very large commercial system can take months or even years to complete.

No. By law (The Water Conservation Act), all new sprinkler systems come with an automatic rain sensor which will turn the system off when significant rainfall occurs. It will automatically reset itself when conditions dry out so even if you are on vacation your system knows what to do.

Usually our schedule will allow us to install your system 1-2 weeks after you give us the okay. By law, permits are required and all properties have to be marked out for underground utilities which usually take about 7 business days.

Yes, each town has specific permits which are required. EcoSystems Irrigation will file these permits on your behalf as part of our agreement with you. You will only need to pay the specific fees required by the township, pick them up and then arrange for the final inspection.

We install all major manufacturers’ irrigation materials and those materials are warrantied for Two (2) Years. In addition, our company guarantees everything we do, including labor and adjustments, 100% for 2 years.

Your new system will need to be winterized every autumn, which we will do with a large air compressor. In the spring, the system will need to be turned on again and programmed to run. You can have us do this or you can do it yourself. On occasion the system may need service. EcoSystems Irrigation prides itself in our dependable service technicians and our great customer relations. If you need us we are only a phone call away.

The only necessary service is the winterization of your lawn sprinkler each fall. It is important to remove all standing water from the system to prevent freeze damage. We also offer the option of a spring start-up and a full season package.

A properly designed sprinkler system will apply water for a predetermined amount of time at an even application rate. All too often hand watering results in over-watering some areas and under-watering other areas. Another benefit of a sprinkler system is its ability to water your lawn when you are out of town or you don’t have the time.

EcoSystems Irrigation is using the best products in the industry like: Toro, Irritrol, Rain Bird, Hunter and Netafim drip tubing. If you have a product you specifically want, we can get it just for you.

Drip irrigation is a method where small amounts of water are placed on the root ball of plants, therefore using the water more efficiently. This is done with a network of small tubes that provides water to many plants at once. A drip zone will usually run for several hours. It is generally considered to be better for most planting beds than typical watering, and it wastes almost no water.

Each lawn has different sun and soil conditions, thus requiring varying amounts of water. It is better to water deeply and infrequently rather than lightly every day.

Other factors include: 

• The type of sprinklers used
• Direct sun
• Shade
• Soil conditions
• Slope
• Temperature

Generally, it’s best to water as much as possible at once without creating run-off, then wait as long as possible before watering again.
