IRRIGATION DESIGN, INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE

The key to contracting a qualified Irrigation Contractor is licensing. Yes, anyone can dig a hole, lay pipe and connect it to a water source. However, it takes a licensed Irrigation contractor to ensure that everything that works well on day one will still be doing so six months or two years later. Service is also a big part of irrigation design and installation. Parts break down, that’s a fact.

We offer complete irrigation design, installation and maintenance. Irrigation is one of the most important things you can do to protect the investment that you have in your landscape, turf and your planting beds. We want to keep your landscape looking its best, while at the same time trying to conserve as much water as possible.

How will I benefit from an inground sprinkler system?
Since handwatering is done on a random basis, and at irregular intervals, an automatic sprinkler system will actually, in most cases, use less water. It will also disperse the water at an even rate, and for a predetermined amount of time. This allows you to water sunny and shady areas for different periods of time, and to water when it is most efficient. One obvious benefit is the ability to continue a watering program while you are away on vacation, etc.

Will the installation make a mess of my lawn?
Liberty Irrigation installation techniques have made system installation far less disruptive than in the past. We remove existing sod from ditch area. Then a machine digs or we hand dig the trenches. In general, the nicer the lawn to begin with, the less mess there is. In this case, all of the sod is still there, sod just need to be put back and tamped. A lawn that is in disrepair will be hard to make look good, as there is no sod to be replaced. In this situation, overseeding and new growth will be made easier because of the sprinkler system.

How long does a system take to put in?
It would depend on the area that is trying to be covered. An average size lawn (@15,000 sq. ft.) can usually be done in one full day, depending on the situation. A large lawn can take anywhere from two to four days. On average, we spend two days on a job.

What type of maintenance does the system require?
In the Richmond area, all systems need to be winterized. Systems with outdoor backflow preventers MUST be winterized prior to November 5th each year to reduce the chance of freeze damage. We feel you have less problems when you start back in spring time. Most people that we install systems for simply turn it back on in the springtime themselves. We do offer the service of opening systems for the season. The quality of the products used initially, and of the overall installation, play an important part in the long term service of the system. The better the products and installation, the less trouble you should expect in the future. Liberty Irrigation uses the finest products available in the industry, and strives to provide the finest installations in the business.

What happens when it rains?
Liberty Irrigation can install a rain sensor. This device senses rainfall, and will shut down your system when it has received enough rain. The sensor is adjustable, so it can be set to individual needs and preference.

Why should I choose liberty Irrigation to install my system?
