Sprinkler Systems
The installation of an efficient sprinkler system begins with a good design. The
system must apply water uniformly over the desired area with head to head coverage.
Choosing the appropriate sprinkler for a given area is important, but the location
and spacing of sprinklers is equally important.
Proper spacing of sprinklers is critical in achieving uniform water application.
Sprinklers spaced too far apart will waste water by applying too much water in some
areas and not enough in others.
Pipe sizing is another important aspect of proper design. Selection of pipe sizes
should be based on water gallons per minute available and sprinkler types used;
incorrect pipe sizing can cause some sprinklers to apply more water than others,
resulting in non-uniform application and wasted water.
System Design
GreenCare will design and propose a system that will meet your needs. We have qualified
staff
that can design a system for residential, commercial, landscape beds, and athletic
complexes. We design the system for maximum coverage in an innovative and efficient manner,
using the highest quality and most up-to-date components and materials available.
The GreenCare Installation Difference:
- Extensive experience in the breadth of projects completed: homes, lake homes,
apartments, townhomes, commercial, retail, government, industrial, athletic, drip
irrigation, and indoor tropical gardens, to name a few. Project sizes have varied from 1
residential lot to 1 city block to a complete complex of homes, commercial property, or
athletic fields.
- Dedicated irrigation crews, service crews, vehicles and equipment. Irrigation is not a
side line.
- GreenCare follows industry practices in our designs so as to not exceed water source
capability in gpm (gallons per minute) and flow (feet per second). Systems are installed
per commercial specs.
- GreenCare only installs name brand, commercial grade irrigation equipment manufactured
by industry leaders such as Hunter, Weathermatic, Rain Bird, & Toro.
- An industry-standard backflow prevention device is provided and installed, with
backdrains on the bottom of the backflow prevention device.
- GreenCare uses copper pipe and fittings in above-ground piping, vs. black poly used by
others.
- We use PVC pipe and fittings for mainline piping. This provides for glued and fitted
piping, vs. screw clamps on poly pipe.
- Double oetiker clamps on poly pipe lateral lines vs. 1 clamp.
- 14 GA control wire vs. 18 GA, with waterproof wire nuts on all below-ground connections.
- Irrigation control wires above ground are run in conduit for neatness and code
compliance.
