Lawn Sprinkler Systems Since 1957

 

How deep does the pipe get buried?

 

Pipes are pulled any where from 6” – 10” deep. Sometimes due to excessive rock or roots we get as deep as possible. We don’t have to bury the pipes below the frost line because #1 it would be too expensive to go 5’ deep and we also winterize the sprinkler system with compressed air.

 

 

Will the installation cause damage to my lawn?

 

This depends on your lawn. Some companies offer damage free installation ! Don’t be misled, pipes, valves, sprinklers and more a re going to be put under the ground. We would be lying if we told you no damage would be done. Compared to the trenching method of installation it is virtually no damage.

 

In a lawn that has no root structure it is more likley to get damaged than one that has thick roots.

Tree roots that are near the surface of the ground drive us crazy. They are very difficult to get through and generally disturbe the area around them.

 

We are very neat and will tamp, re-grade and overseed wherever we need to.

 

Here are a few pictures of both little to no damage and more than usual.

Not the best lawn to start with.

But that’s why they got a sprinkler system.
