Water is expensive in the Inland Empire, and it is not getting cheaper. Between EMWD, WMWD, and other local water districts, homeowners are paying more per gallon every year. An irrigation system that wastes water is not just bad for the environment -- it is burning money. At SoCal Artificial Turfs, we design and install irrigation systems that deliver the right amount of water to the right places at the right times, and nothing more.
Most irrigation problems come from bad design, not bad equipment. A system with too many heads on one zone will drop water pressure and create dry spots. Mismatched spray heads -- rotors and fixed sprays on the same zone -- water unevenly because they apply water at different rates. Heads aimed at sidewalks and driveways waste water every single cycle. These are the problems we solve before we put a single pipe in the ground.
We start every irrigation project by testing your water pressure and flow rate at the hose bib. This tells us exactly how many heads each zone can support and what type of heads will work best for your property. From there, we design the zone layout based on your landscape -- separating lawns from shrub beds from trees, each with matched precipitation rates and appropriate run times.
For controllers, we install smart Wi-Fi controllers that adjust watering schedules based on local weather data. When it rains, the system skips. When a heat wave hits, it increases. You can monitor and adjust everything from your phone. Most homeowners who switch from a basic timer to a smart controller see 20% to 40% reduction in water use right away.
We install irrigation as part of full landscape remodels and as standalone projects. Whether you need a new system for a brand new yard, a retrofit for an old system that is falling apart, or drip lines added to new planter beds, we handle it all. Our crew does the trenching, pipe laying, head installation, valve box placement, controller wiring, and final programming.
Get a Free EstimateA well-designed system with proper zones, matched heads, and smart scheduling uses 30% to 50% less water than an old or poorly designed system.
No more dry spots next to soggy patches. Properly spaced, matched heads give you even coverage across every zone so your entire landscape thrives.
Smart Wi-Fi controllers let you monitor, adjust, and troubleshoot your system from anywhere. Get alerts for issues and adjust schedules without going outside.
Smart controllers automatically adjust for rain, heat, and seasonal changes. Your system waters more in August and less in January without you touching a thing.
Every system is custom-designed for your property and water pressure.
We test your water pressure and flow rate to determine how many heads each zone can support and what type of heads will work best.
We map out zones based on plant types, sun exposure, and coverage needs. Lawns, shrubs, and trees each get their own zones with matched heads.
Our crew trenches, lays mainline and lateral pipe, installs valve boxes and heads, and wires the controller. Clean, organized, and buried properly.
We program the controller, run every zone to check coverage, adjust heads, and walk you through the system so you know how to use it.
Traditional systems run on a fixed timer -- same schedule every day regardless of weather. Smart controllers adjust watering based on real-time weather data, soil moisture, and plant type. They skip watering when it rains, reduce output on cool days, and increase it during heat waves. Most homeowners see 20% to 40% water savings with a smart controller compared to a traditional timer.
A properly designed system with matched precipitation heads, correct zone layouts, and a smart controller can save 30% to 50% compared to an old or poorly designed system. Overspray, leaks, uneven coverage, and fixed timers are the biggest water wasters. Fixing those issues alone can drop your water bill significantly.
We recommend checking your system twice a year -- once in spring before the hot season and once in fall. This includes running each zone to check for leaks, clogged heads, or broken risers, adjusting spray patterns, and updating the controller schedule for seasonal changes. Most homeowners can do basic visual checks themselves. For repairs, give us a call.
The number of zones depends on your yard size, water pressure, and the types of plantings. Lawn areas, shrub beds, and trees all have different watering needs and should be on separate zones. A typical front and back yard might need 4 to 8 zones. We design the system based on your specific property and water pressure so every area gets the right amount of water.
