What We Do
We service and repair landscape irrigation systems. From domestic water systems to reuse systems and everything in-between. We provide market-leading site documentation and horticulturally based water schedules. We assess each system and provide our clients with strategies to save water, energy, and promote healthy landscapes. We implement EPA WaterSense rated products for our clients. WaterSense products are 20 percent more water-efficient than standard models.

Athletic field water source prior to upgrade. Notice how the pumps are positioned before the backflow preventers, sharing the same 2" supply line. In this case 2 pumps are not better than 1! The system's hydraulic requirements were not correctly accounted for prior to install.
The original configuration was drastically undersized. This resulted in multiple pump failures and a mainline failure inside the pump house. The 2" service line was increased to 3" with the install of a 3" RPZ. The pump was upgraded to a 3-phase motor with a VFD control system. The filtration system was replaced with properly sized disk filters. All mainline piping was changed to 3" copper after e
9-Hole golf course control system upgrade. Three failing and discontinued John Deer branded Auora controllers were replaced with Rainbird ESPLXME2 controllers. New 48-hour delay sensors were also installed. (Electrical contractor was utilized on the high voltage side to meet state codes.)
FLIR imaging used to diagnose a large decoder interface overloading.
2-Wire fault to ground on the red wire causing 86% of a commercial system to go offline.

Timing Is Everything!
How's your system's application efficiency? Even the best designed systems need managing. Running a system too long allows for runoff and pushes water deep down in the soil profile where it is no longer usable. Properly installed and managed Smart controllers can help save thousands of gallons of water annually.
Water Management
Did your landscape irrigation run at all the month of May with no new plant material added to your landscape? If it did and you have a solid soil profile of 4" everything you applied was wasted.
Hennepin County Minnesota Climatological Data for the month starting May 8th-31st. 3.23" of precipitation, and 2.85" of ETO (evapotranspiration water loss from transpiration in cool season turf.) Save water and protect your landscape with ET and soil based irrigation control systems.
