Irrigation - Rich Miller Landscape

Irrigation? Automatic Sprinkler? Sprinkler Systems?

Call it what you want, but the bottom line is your lawn and landscaping requires two things: Sunlight and Water!

If you’re spending money on re-turfing your property, sod and landscaping, you need to protect your investment with quality hydration.

A poorly designed sprinkler system can damage your plants, leave them thirsty, cause runoff, disease, and damage property and infrastructure such as walkways and driveways.

Of course, we all want to save water. Even if you’re not doing it for conservation purposes, who wants to pay big water bills!?

Are your sprinkler pumps right for the job?

Pump sizing is critical in the reduction to energy costs…

Incorrect pump sizing is one reason for inefficiencies and reduced pump life. One may consider a VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) if your flow rate is broad.

Rich Miller Landscape Service will help to determine correct pump suited to your operating conditions required by the irrigation output. We will calculate how much pump flow and TDH (total dynamic head) needed for your site. Some have experienced incorrectly installed well points or too few of them based on system demand.

Smart Systems Go Beyond the Rain Switch

Rich Miller Landscape Smart Irrigation Think beyond the rain switch…

Ideally your system was designed with different hydro-zones, or areas that contain plants with similar water requirements. Further, our discovery of your available water, system design and determination of your precipitation rate we apply CLIA practices to determine appropriate output. This is more than scheduling time on a clock.

Smart Controllers. Such as ET based or Soil sensor-based systems. Wi-Fi communication vs cellular are examples which make changes to your clock without you. Consider adding a weather station so you know the readings are specific to your site.

Water and Electricity? They need some rules of conduct…

We’re also experts in landscape lighting design and installation. Water and electricity are not a safe combination. We install the right tools to keep your lights and irrigation system working safely and in tandem.
