Upgrading or installing an irrigation system doesn’t need to be complicated. From the initial site inspection to seasonal tune-ups, this streamlined process ensures efficient water use, reliable performance, and a landscape that stays healthy year-round.
A certified technician evaluates your property—measuring water pressure, soil type, and plant water requirements. Based on zoning and irrigation needs (sprinkler system vs. drip irrigation), a detailed design plan is created featuring optimal spray patterns, drip emitters, and valve placement.
Our team trench and install pipes, valves, sprinkler heads, or drip lines according to the design. They connect to the main water supply, install shut-off valves and backflow preventers, and calibrate water pressure.
Once installed, the system undergoes a full test: each zone runs to ensure correct spray coverage, even water pressure, and leak-free operation. Technicians flush lines, adjust nozzles, and validate controller settings. This final check ensures proper hydration and maximizes system efficiency.
Years of experience designing and installing irrigation systems in Chico, CA ensures a tailored fit for every lawn and garden. From planning optimal sprinkler system layouts and configuring spray nozzles to installing drip irrigation tailored to plant root zones, every component—piping, valves, water-pressure calibration, and smart controller setup—is handled with precision. The result: even coverage, properly hydrated landscapes, and enhanced water efficiency through smart controls.
Early detection and prompt repair preserve system efficiency—preventing broken sprinkler heads, leaking valves, low water pressure, or clogged nozzles from escalating into dry patches or water waste. Experienced technicians diagnose and fix common issues like pipes, controllers, and malfunctioning zones. Regular spring start-up, leak detection, and seasonal maintenance minimize repairs and reduce utility costs, delivering a healthier, greener landscape over the long term.
Clogged or damaged sprinkler heads often lead to uneven water distribution, low water pressure, puddling, or increased water bills. Our team inspects and replaces faulty heads, installs high-efficiency nozzles, and adds check valves to prevent low-head drainage and conserve resources. Whether adjusting spray patterns or replacing damaged heads, each repair restores proper coverage and prevents water waste.
Protect irrigation systems from freeze damage with expert seasonal care. Winterizing involves shutting off the water, draining pipes and backflow preventers, blowing out sprinkler lines, and insulating above-ground components to prevent burst pipes.

Whether you’re planning a full system installation or simple seasonal maintenance, these FAQs address common questions to help you make confident decisions. We’re here to keep your outdoor spaces both hydrated and high-performing.
Yes—drip irrigation attaches easily to your current system and operates independently. It uses separate zones with pressure regulators, filters, and valves to ensure efficient water delivery straight to plant roots—ideal for garden beds, planters, and delicate plantings compared to overhead spray.
Smart controllers paired with drip emitters can reduce water usage by 30–50%, and even up to 70% in targeted areas . These systems automatically adapt schedules based on weather and moisture—no wasted water or manual adjustments needed.
Winterization should be completed before temperatures consistently dip below 65°F. This process includes shutting off water, draining or blow-out of lines, and insulating above-ground parts to prevent freeze damage—recommended each fall.
Actually, no. A well-designed irrigation system—with zone-specific programming and features like rain sensors—uses water more efficiently than manual methods. It applies the right amount to each area, stops during rain, and eliminates overwatering .
Most lawns and landscapes benefit from watering 2–3 times per week, with sessions of 10–20 minutes per zone—adjusted for wind, temperature, and plant type. Smart controls make seasonal adjustments automatically, eliminating guesswork.
Watch for signs like uneven watering, puddles around heads, or weak spray—all indicators of clogged or damaged sprinkler heads. Quick replacement with high-efficiency nozzles restores proper spray patterns and saves water.
Seasonal tune-ups prevent freeze damage by draining pipes and insulating above-ground components. This maintenance protects valves, prevents burst pipes, and extends system lifespan, essential for reliable performance in Chico’s variable climate.
Ideally, schedule inspections twice a year—in spring (for start-up, leak checks, nozzle calibration) and fall (for winterization). Routine checks catch minor issues before they become costly repairs .
