R & R Irrigation uses techniques that make installation less disruptive than it was in the past. We feature trenchless pipe installation on most projects by using a machine that slices the sod, and lays the pipe at the same time. The sod is then laid back down back to its original position. Usually, within two weeks you won’t be able to see any signs of our pipe routes.

All systems should be turned on in the springtime and be winterized at the end of the season. We recommend that you contact our company in both situations. We can provide you with the finest full checkup before the season starts and winterize your system at the end of season to protect the pipes from freeze damage.

Each lawn has different sun and soil conditions, therefore, requiring varying amounts of water. It is better to water deep and infrequently rather than lightly every day. Other factors include the type of sprinklers used, direct sun, shade, soil conditions, slope, and temperature. Generally its best to water as much at once as possible without creating run-off, then waiting as long as possible before watering again.

Drip irrigation is a method where small amounts of water are placed on the root ball of plants, therefore using the water more efficiently. This is done with a network of small tubes that provides water to many plants at once. A drip zone will usually run for several hours. It is generally considered to be better for most planting beds than typical watering, and it wastes almost no water.
