1. What is a smart irrigation system?

A smart irrigation system uses technology—such as sensors, weather data, and automation—to water landscapes efficiently and only when necessary. It helps save water, reduce costs, and maintain healthy lawns and gardens.

2. How does a smart irrigation system work?

Smart irrigation systems monitor soil moisture, weather conditions, plant types, and even sun exposure. Based on this data, they automatically adjust watering schedules and durations to optimize water usage.

3. What are the benefits of using smart irrigation?

1. Saves up to 30–50% more water compared to traditional systems

2. Increases your property values anywhere from 5% to 15%

3. Reduces water bills

4. Promotes healthier plants

5. Provides remote control and monitoring via smartphone apps

6. Helps prevent overwatering and underwatering

4. Can I control the system from my phone?

Yes! Most smart irrigation systems come with a companion mobile app, allowing you to monitor and control watering schedules from anywhere.

5. Will it work with my existing irrigation system?

Yes! Smart controllers can be integrated into existing sprinkler systems. However, compatibility may vary, so a consultation or inspection is recommended.

6. Does it adjust for weather changes?

Absolutely. Smart irrigation systems use real-time weather data to pause watering during rain and adjust schedules based on temperature, humidity, and forecasted conditions

7. Is smart irrigation suitable for commercial properties?

Yes! Smart irrigation is ideal for both residential and commercial properties, including golf courses, schools, office parks, and apartment complexes.

8. What maintenance is required?

Smart systems require minimal maintenance. We recommend seasonal check-ups to ensure sensors and valves are working properly, especially before the start of spring and winterization in the fall.

9. Can I set custom watering zones?

Yes. Most smart controllers allow you to set different zones for different plant types, soil conditions, and sunlight levels, ensuring precise irrigation across your landscape.

10. Do smart irrigation systems qualify for rebates?

Many municipalities and water districts offer rebates for installing water-efficient irrigation systems. Check with your local utility or contact us—we can help you find eligible rebates.
