Landscape Irrigation
Irrigation is the key to a green lawn. Especially on Cape Cod, high winds and warm temperatures dry out soil before the water has a chance to enter the root zone of your turf. Plantings struggle to establish and flourish without regular watering. Our irrigation services encompass the most up to date practices to efficiently water all turf and plantings without wasting water. Our systems use the most rugged Hunter products available.
Irrigation Design
A proper design uses several types of rotary, spray, and drip systems to effectively water your investment.
Systems are based on water pressure, light conditions, wind etc.
All systems require a backflow preventer, to eliminate excess water from returning into your homes water system.
