Drip Irrigation Systems
Water straight to the roots of beds, shrubs and trees
Spray heads are the right tool for a lawn and the wrong one for a planting bed: they wet the leaves, the mulch, the fence and the walkway, and a lot of the water evaporates before it reaches a root. Drip puts water directly at the base of each plant, slowly, so it soaks in instead of running off — which matters on the heavy clay soil common across the Tri-Valley and the East Bay hills. It is the most efficient way to water shrubs, perennials, vegetable beds, pots and trees, and it is the easiest way to keep a garden healthy through a dry California summer. We install new drip zones and convert existing spray zones to drip, with a filter and pressure regulator at the valve so the emitters last.
