Irrigation Installation in Tucson:
Efficient Systems Built for Desert Conditions
Professional irrigation installation involves custom system design, proper component selection, code-compliant installation, pressure regulation, filtration, and programming optimized for Tucson’s desert climate and your specific landscape needs.
Your DIY System is a Disaster
You installed the irrigation yourself to save money. Now you have constant leaks, uneven coverage, dead plants, and zones that don’t work. Your water bill is outrageous. You’ve spent more fixing problems than a professional installation would have cost.
Why DIY irrigation fails: Improper pressure for Tucson’s water system destroys emitters. Wrong pipe sizing causes inadequate flow. Poor emitter placement misses root zones. No filtration means clogged lines. Incorrect valve sizing creates zone failures. Missing backflow prevention violates the code. One mistake can cascade into systemic problems, requiring a complete reinstallation.
Professional installation advantages: We design systems matching your exact water pressure and flow rates. We calculate proper pipe sizing for each zone. We place emitters based on the plant’s root system and mature size. We install filtration to prevent clogs. We include pressure regulation protecting components. We meet all Tucson code requirements. Done right once, works for decades.
Your System Doesn’t Match Your Landscape
Previous owners installed irrigation for grass and traditional plants. You xeriscaped with desert natives. Now your drip system is entirely wrong—too many emitters for low-water plants, bad spacing, inadequate for any trees. You need a complete redesign, but dread the cost and disruption.
Mismatched system problems: Desert plants drown with grass-level irrigation. Trees suffer with shrub emitters. Turf zones wasted on rock gardens. Controllers programmed for the wrong plant types. Homeowners either waste massive amounts of water or watch their new landscaping die. Retrofitting poorly designed systems costs nearly as much as starting fresh.
Custom design solutions: We assess your current landscape and create systems that match your actual needs. We design separate zones for different plant water requirements—low for desert natives, moderate for adapted species, and higher for citrus and turf. We specify correct emitter types and counts for each plant size. We program controllers for your specific zones. Your irrigation works with your landscape, not against it.
You Have No Idea What System You Actually Need
You know you need irrigation, but you’re overwhelmed by options. Drip? Spray? Micro-spray? Bubblers? How many zones? What controller? Every company recommends something different. Choices paralyze you, and you worry about expensive mistakes.
Technology overwhelm: Irrigation technology varies dramatically in terms of cost, efficiency, and suitability for specific applications. Drip works great for shrubs, but wrong for turf. Spray systems waste water on desert plants. Smart controllers offer features you may not need. Pressure requirements differ by system type. Homeowners lack the expertise to evaluate recommendations or identify unnecessary upsells.
Expert consultation process: We evaluate your landscape plant by plant, assessing water needs, sun exposure, and soil type. We explain which irrigation method is best suited for each zone and why. We present a cost-benefit analysis for technology upgrades—smart controllers are recommended for complex landscapes, while basic timers suffice for simple setups. We design systems meeting your needs without unnecessary features that inflate costs.
