Q. Does an automatic sprinkler system really save on water and time used to maintain my lawn?
A. Yes! Once you program your system, you do not have to do anything more. The system turns itself on and off automatically. In regards to conserving water, automatic sprinkler systems have several advantages over typical sprinkler or hose watering capabilities – you will not have to worry about over-watering, nor will you be wasting water in run-off areas. Our systems are custom-designed to fit your property, so the water will get to the areas it needs to. In addition, systems fitted with a rain sensor will shut themselves off when it is raining.
Q. What do I have to do to prepare for the system’s installation?
A. On most occasions, nothing. We take care of everything – from coordinating with the landscaper or builder to getting permits if required. We will call the local utility companies to mark underground cable, phone lines, gas lines, etc. You just need to inform us of any drain tile or any cables that you may have installed.

Q. Do you work with landscape architects to install the system?
A. Yes. We work with a large number of landscape architects, landscapers and builders.
Q. Why should I choose low-voltage lighting?
A. Landscape lighting is a smart investment for several reasons. It enhances a property’s value by creating a new drama and beauty in a garden year-round. Lighting increases safety and reduces risks around walkways, decks, pools, spas, and other landscape features. Night-time lighting also provides greater home security by deterring burglary, vandalism and other crime. Besides the aesthetical value, low voltage lighting is less expensive, safer, uses less energy, and is easier to maintain than 110 voltage systems. Proper lighting design with the right fixtures is not something you can buy and do yourself.
