Sprinkler Installation in Tooele, UT

Sprinkler Installation and Design

When it comes to installing sprinklers, it’s important to understand sprinklers are not one-size-fits-all. You need to consider factors like the climate where you live, the different needs of parts of your landscape, and various options available.

We have all seen the signs of poorly designed sprinkler systems. The number one sign you’re likely familiar with is sprinklers that water the pavement more than they water a lawn. A correctly designed and installed sprinkler system waters the right target, limits water runoff, conserves water, and lowers your utility bill.

Hot Shot Sprinkler Repair & Landscape is certified to work with the majority of sprinkler system brands. We will determine what sprinkler will work best for your yard and your budget, and install it correctly to bring you the green lawn of your dreams.

Drip Irrigation and Drip Conversion

While sprinklers are the preferred choice for a lawn with a large amount of grass, drip irrigation systems are better suited for landscape inclusions such as trees, shrubbery and flowers. Drip irrigation systems allow better control over how much water a plant gets, so you can customize it for plants that need a lot of water vs plants that need just a sip.

Drip irrigation systems are a great way to maximize your water conservation. Water is delivered slowly and consistently to plants, and penetrates deep into the soil so it is less likely to evaporate. The extended water time helps prevent soil erosion and preserves soil nutrients. Because drip irrigation systems almost entirely eliminate any excess standing water, they are also a great tool to prevent the growth of fungi or weeds.

If you already have a sprinkler system or watering system in place but want to switch to drip irrigation, don’t worry! As a Localscapes and Utah Water Savers Approved Provider, we are experts in the installation and conversion of drip irrigation systems.

Automations of Manual Systems

Automating your sprinkler or drip irrigation system saves time, water and money.

Time is saved because you don’t have to turn anything on or off, or drag a sprinkler head around to different parts of your yard. Plus, since optimal watering hours are typically a few hours before the sun is up, automatic irrigation will allow you to sleep in. If you travel often, you can feel reassured your landscape won’t suffer while you’re gone.

Automating manual systems can save water by allowing you to water in those optimal morning hours so less water evaporates, meaning you need less. You can also add things like rain sensors to trigger automatic shut-offs so your landscape doesn’t receive more water than necessary. Soil sensors can also trigger automatic shut-offs when they sense the soil has received enough water. Automating manual systems also allows you to program for different water needs, so trees that need a lot of water get more than shrubs or plants that need less.

By reducing overwatering and allowing you to cater to your landscaping needs, automating your manual systems will save you money on your water bill.

Coverage Issues

There is nothing worse than seeing signs of damage on your landscaping. Whether it’s brown patches on your lawn, dry or droopy foliage, or even evidence of fungi or rot. In cases of dryness or brown patches, it may be the result of broken or old sprinkler heads, or even just poor design and placement that isn’t getting water to where it’s needed. As for droopy or diseased foliage, the culprit may be the same, but to the opposite effect: some areas are getting too much water.

Thankfully, Hot Shot Sprinkler Repair & Landscape has the expertise to both diagnose and fix coverage issues with your landscaping. If a few sprinkler heads need to be fixed or replaced, it’s a simple task that will be done quickly. If the issue has more to do with poor installation or placement, Hot Shot Sprinkler Repair & Landscape will come up with a new coverage plan to implement.

As part of sprinkler installation we’ll take into account the size of your landscape and the different needs of various parts to determine watering zones and design a coverage plan to meet your needs.

Leaks and Breaks

The most common causes of leaks and breaks with sprinkler heads or other irrigation system components is freezing and mechanical damage. There is also potential for blockage on system components that prevents water from getting to where it needs to be.

At Hot Shot Sprinkler Repair & Landscape, we are happy to inspect your irrigation system for any leaks or breaks and make repairs as needed. We also work to prevent leaks and breaks from happening in the future, so you can feel confident your landscaping will be taken care of for years to come.
