Services
Rotary Sprinkler Systems
Rotary sprinkler systems efficiently water large, flat areas like lawns using durable, automated systems. Our installations use Hunter I-20 sprinklers for even water distribution. These systems integrate with timers for precise, hands-free operation, reducing water waste and maintenance costs.
Drip Irrigation Systems
Drip irrigation delivers water directly to plant roots, ideal for gardens and container plants. Our systems minimize evaporation and runoff while conserving water. Timers and water meters ensure precise control, saving resources without compromising plant health.
Smart Controllers
Smart controllers adjust watering schedules using real-time weather data to optimize efficiency. Hunter Hydrawise systems reduce water use by up to 50% through Wi-Fi connectivity. These controllers prevent overwatering and lower utility bills for residential and commercial properties.
Irrigation Backflow Preventer
Backflow preventers protect drinking water from contamination by blocking reverse flow of chemicals. Connecticut law requires these systems for safety. We install compliant, durable preventers to ensure legal compliance and family health protection.
Specialty Spray Nozzles
Specialty spray nozzles ensure precise water distribution for varied landscape needs. Hunter MP Rotator nozzles provide even coverage with adjustable patterns. These durable components enhance system efficiency and reduce water waste in customized irrigation setups.
