Property measurements
Dimensions, structures, turf, beds, hardscape, elevation, water sources, and obstacles set the limits of the design.
Sprinkler system installation
A new system has to fit the property and the water available. I measure the site, check the hydraulics, and work out the layout before installation begins.
Design overview
The layout, water supply, elevation, pipe sizes, zones, and head spacing all need to work together before I start digging.
What has to be worked out
The finished system also depends on flow, working pressure, pipe loss, elevation, precipitation rate, zoning, pipe size, controls, and access for future repairs.
Dimensions, structures, turf, beds, hardscape, elevation, water sources, and obstacles set the limits of the design.
I calculate zone demand and pressure loss so the heads have enough pressure to work correctly.
I plan head spacing, precipitation rate, zoning, wind, and sun exposure to limit dry spots and overspray.
Pipe routes, crossings, valves, and connection points are planned before the trenching starts.
I use the parts the job needs. I do not add equipment or cost without a reason.
Valve access, isolation, documentation, and repair paths are planned while changes are still easy to make.
The numbers behind the plan
Pressure, flow, friction loss, elevation, precipitation rate, and zone demand decide whether the layout will actually work.
Installation request
The form asks about the site, water source, project type, elevation, crossings, and anything else that could affect the system.
Fields marked with * are required.
