Irrigation

You’ll have greener grass, healthier plants, and much more free time to smell the roses instead of watering them.

SUSTAINABLE IRRIGATION

An Irrigation system is a home improvement project worth considering. Not only will it help maintain a healthy beautiful landscape, it will also help you save time and money while ensuring your landscape gets the water it needs without over-or under-watering. When it is properly installed and maintained an irrigation system will can help you conserve water too.

System design and installation are important parts that will affect your system’s performance and conservation efforts.

Let the system work for you

  • You don’t have to spend your time watering by hand.
  • No more moving the hose around the yard.
  • Extended plant life.
  • Lower water usage.
  • Irrigation systems are one of the best financial investments you can make because it’s a key factor in determining market value of your house.

WATERING SMART

These days being smart about water usage is as important as ever, ensuring irrigation systems are running efficiently and for correct run times is the fist step. But so much more can be done to minimize the foot print created by the system including smart technology to help minimize over watering and save on water bills. Smart controllers, web based controllers, flow meters and solar sync weather censors are just a few of the ways we can start to help you save money and help the environment.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Some of our customers asked these questions prior to making an irrigation investment.

Q. Will an automatic sprinkler system use more water than I’m currently using?

A. No. In fact, it will conserve water. You’ll never have to worry about runoff from over watering or wasting water when you forget to turn off the hose. And, with a rain sensor, your system will know when it is raining and simply shut itself off when water is not needed. We also offer systems what will automatically change run times of your system depending on the weather conditions, taking all the guess work out of it.

Q. Does having a sprinkler system really save time?

A. Yes. You won’t have to spend another minute of your valuable leisure time watering the lawn. Your new system will do all the watering for you – even when you’re away from home

Q. Will an automatic sprinkler system water as well as I can water by hand?

A. It will do a much better job because a professionally designed system by Outdoor Accents will deliver exactly the right amount of water to individual lawn and planting areas.

Q. We generally get 40 or more inches of rainfall a year. Do we really need a sprinkler system?

A. If it rained at your house every three days – the same exact amount each time – you probably wouldn’t need a sprinkler system. But nature doesn’t work that way, and the only way to ensure healthy, lush growth is to make certain your lawn and plants receive a regularly timed, evenly measured amount of water. In the dry season when there is little or no rain, your yard can suffer damage after just a few days without water.

Q. Are there different systems from which to choose?

A. Although every system should be tailored to meet individual needs, a typical system will be comprised of a controller (which functions as the brains of the system), valves (which open and close to release and stop the flow of water to underground pipes) and sprinklers (which actually distribute the water to a given area).  Outdoor Accents LLC uses only top quality products from the most well-respected manufacturers in the industry.

Q. How do I know what type of system is best for me?

A. A custom system is the most efficient and tailored system you can get. It’s always best to work with a professional irrigation contractor who is knowledgeable about such factors as water source and pressure, soil type, planting materials and weather conditions. Outdoor Accents LLC will take all of this into consideration in designing a system specific to the needs of your landscape.

Q. Will I have difficulty operating this system?

A. Outdoor Accents will help you. Upon final installation, we will show you through the entire system and controller. We will set it with your individual watering schedule and ensure that you feel comfortable with you new investment.

Q. How much will a good system cost?

A. The price of a system will vary depending upon many factors such as property size, type of landscaping and special designs. But you can count on us to design a cost-effective system comprised of quality products.

Like most people, you probably have a lot of questions you’d like to ask before finalizing your decision to purchase an automatic sprinkler system.
