Sprinkler & Irrigation System Installation in the Wenatchee Valley

Before laying out heads we measure static pressure and available flow at the service. Those two numbers decide how many heads can run per zone. Overloading a zone is the most common reason an existing system leaves dry rings in the lawn no matter how long it runs.

From there we map zones by what is growing in them. Turf, shrub beds, trees, and containers all have different needs, and mixing them on one valve guarantees something is either drowning or crisping.

Lawns get rotors or high-efficiency spray heads laid out head-to-head so the spray from one reaches the next. Narrow strips get matched-precipitation nozzles instead of whatever fits. Beds and trees are better served by drip line and emitters that put water at the root zone where the wind cannot take it.

Wind matters here. Afternoon gusts through the valley shred a fine spray pattern, which is one reason we schedule most run times early in the morning.

Valve manifolds go in accessible boxes, not buried under a future patio. Controllers can be standard timers or WiFi units that adjust to weather data, which makes a real difference in a climate that swings from a cool May to a 100 degree July.

Backflow prevention is installed to code so irrigation water cannot get back into the potable supply, and we set the test and maintenance expectations with you at handoff.

We also fix what is already in the ground: broken laterals, stuck valves, tilted or clogged heads, dead zones, and controllers nobody can program. Retrofitting an older system to drip in the beds usually pays for itself in water within a couple of seasons.

In fall we blow lines out with compressed air and shut the system down so freezing does not split pipe and valve bodies, then start it up and adjust heads again in spring.
