Professional Irrigation Systems

System Design and Planning

Effective irrigation begins with comprehensive system design that considers water pressure, coverage requirements, plant water needs, and soil conditions. Our designers create zone plans that group plants with similar watering requirements, maximizing efficiency and plant health.

Proper head spacing and selection ensure uniform water distribution without creating dry spots or overwatered areas. Did you know that poorly designed irrigation systems can waste up to 50% of applied water through runoff, evaporation, and overspray? Professional design eliminates these inefficiencies.

Smart Controller Technology

Smart irrigation controllers automatically adjust watering schedules based on weather conditions, soil moisture levels, and seasonal requirements. These systems can reduce water usage by 30-50% compared to traditional timer-based controllers while improving plant health.

Weather-based controllers use local meteorological data to skip watering cycles during rain events and adjust run times based on temperature and humidity. Soil moisture sensors provide real-time feedback about actual watering needs, preventing both under and over-watering. These systems work seamlessly with ourlandscape design and installation services to ensure optimal plant health.

Drip Irrigation for Plant Beds

Drip irrigation delivers water directly to plant root zones with minimal evaporation loss, making it ideal for flower beds, shrub areas, and vegetable gardens. This method uses 40-60% less water than spray irrigation while providing more consistent soil moisture.

Modern drip systems include pressure-compensating emitters that maintain consistent flow rates regardless of terrain changes. Micro-spray and bubbler heads provide options for different plant types and coverage requirements within the same system.

Installation and Maintenance

Professional installation ensures proper pipe sizing, adequate water pressure, and reliable system operation. Our crews use quality materials and proven installation techniques that provide years of trouble-free service with minimal maintenance requirements.

Regular maintenance includes seasonal system checks, head cleaning and adjustment, and controller programming updates. At DeSoto Landscaping, we've installed over 300 irrigation systems in the local area, developing expertise in the specific challenges of Texas clay soils and extreme weather conditions. Our systems complement ourlawn care and maintenance programs for complete landscape health management.

Efficient irrigation systems not only save water and reduce utility costs but also promote healthier plant growth by delivering consistent moisture levels. Properly watered landscapes are more resistant to disease, pest problems, and weather stress.
