For every initial irrigation audit, we first like to ensure every sprinkler head is level to the slope of the ground and is putting out the appropriate amount of water per zone. With small details like these, you could be underwatering a certain area and overwatering another. Every head and nozzle must correspond to the pressure each zone allows. Each soil type absorbs a different amount of water so it is important to take note of soil type and the various plants in that area. Once we get an adequate idea of every zone on the property, our irrigation technicians will have a rough estimate of what is needed for zone run times and individual programs. We will write up a detailed document providing recommendations of everything that could be done to save water.
