Like most people you probably have a lot of questions you'd like to ask before finalizing your decision to purchase an automatic sprinkler system. Reading this information should provide many answers for you, but please don't hesitiate to ask us any additional questions you may have.

The Advantages of Owning an Automatic Sprinkler System.

Many people say convenience is the biggest advantage to an automatic sprinkler system since they don't have to spend their time watering by hand or moving the hose around the yard. Others say extended plant life and lower water usage are the most important. Still others believe a sprinkler system is one of the best financial investments they can make in their home since appearance is a key factor in determining market value. And, guess what - they're all right.

Q. Will and automatic sprinkler system use more water than I'm currently using?

A. No. in fact, it will conserve water. You'll never have to worry about runoff from overwatering or wasting water when you forget to turn off the hose. And, with a moisture sensor, your system will know when it is raining and simply shut itself off when water is not needed.

Q. Does having a sprinkler system really save time?

A. Yes. You won't have to spend another minute of your valuable leisure time watering the lawn. Your new system will do all of the watering for you - even when you're away from home.

Q. Will an automatic sprinkler system water as well as I can by hand?

A. It will do a much better job because a professionally designed system will deliver exactly the right amount of water to individual lawn and garden areas.

Q. We generally get 40 inches or more of rainfall a year. Do we really need a sprinkler system?

A. If it rained at your house every three days - the same amount each time - you probably wouldn't need a sprinkler system. But nature doesn't work that way, and the only way to insure healthy, lush growth is to make certain your lawn and plants receive a regularily timed, evenly measured amount of water. In the dry season when there is little or no rain, your yard can suffer damage after just a few days without water.

Q. How do I know what type of system is best for me?

A. It is always best to work with a professional irrigation contractor, who is knowledgeable about such factors as water source and pressure, soil type, planting materials and weather conditions. We will take all of this into consideration in designing a system specific to the needs of your landscape.

Q. Can I save money by installing my own system?

A. No! In fact, it could cost you more money in the long run. A professional irrigation contractor such as Pestop/ Hay Creek Lawn & Power will design and install the most cost-efficient system possible. You can be certain that we will select the appropriate equipment for the job, while streamlining the maintenance required to keep your landscape in top shape. We will pay attention to such important factors as sprinkler pattern (it is important to overlap the patterns so that the outer edges receive sufficient water for healthy growth) and backflow prevention (which is necessary to protect your drinking water supply). And, because we are familiar with local plumbing and electrical codes, you won't have to worry about costly mistakes in wiring or pipe installation. We can do the job faster, and with less disruption to existing landscaping.

Q. Will you have difficulty operating the system?

A. We will help you select the best controller (the brains of the system) for your needs, and we will help you set it with your individual watering schedule. We'll also work with you to explain the system's operation. Then if necessary, you can easily change the watering schedule by just following the easy instructions on the inside of the controller cabinet.

Q. How much will a good system cost?

A. The price of the system will vary depending upon many factors such as property size, type of landscaping and special designs. But you can count on our design to be a cost effective system comprised of Rainbird or Hunter products.
