American Irrigation Systems

Our History

American Irrigation Systems, Inc. has been proudly serving Fairfield County for over three decades, bringing beauty and efficiency to landscapes through expert irrigation and lighting solutions. Founded in 1994 by Dennis Salzbrunn, the company's core philosophy centers on providing customers with personalized service and utilizing a deep understanding of water systems to achieve optimal results. Dennis, a Connecticut master J3 licensed irrigation contractor, began his career steeped in both electrical technology and practical landscaping experience.

Graduating from the New England Institute of Technology with a degree in electrical technology, Dennis honed his skills as an electrical apprentice before joining a prominent landscaping firm as their irrigation department manager. This diverse background instilled in him a unique appreciation for the interconnectedness of electrical systems and precise water management, a perspective that would become the cornerstone of American Irrigation Systems.

A Commitment to Efficiency and Innovation

Adding to his expertise, Dennis acquired his J1 License for pumps, filters, and water treatment, solidifying his comprehensive understanding of the intricate balance within a water system. Recognizing that each home's water volume and pressure varies, Dennis utilizes this knowledge to customize irrigation designs. This meticulous approach ensures the most efficient and effective utilization of this precious resource.

His commitment to innovation extends beyond water management. Dennis is certified by leading irrigation manufacturers, such as Hunter, Toro, and Weathermatic, keeping abreast of the latest advancements in technology. This allows him to offer clients the most cutting-edge solutions, incorporating advanced features like water-conserving drip systems and smart irrigation controllers.
