Why drip

Spray heads waste water on a desert yard.

A spray head on a rock bed wets the gravel, the wall and the walkway along with the plant. Drip puts a measured amount of water into the ground at each plant, slowly enough that it soaks in. In the Chandler heat that means less lost to evaporation and more reaching the roots.

Drip irrigation suits desert landscaping in Chandler for that reason. Sonoran Desert plants like palo verde, agave, lantana and bougainvillea want deep, occasional water, and drip delivers it without keeping the surface wet.

What a drip install includes
Where drip goes

Drip belongs anywhere there is no grass.

Anything that is not a lawn is a good fit for drip. Shrubs, cactus, trees, flower beds and potted plants all take water better at the root.

Here are six places on Chandler, Gilbert and Mesa properties where we install and extend drip systems. They run from front yards to commercial islands.

01

Front yard rock beds and palms

Drip runs under the rock to each palm and shrub, so the yard stays clean and nothing sprays the curb.

02

Parking islands and medians

Commercial planters where spray would soak cars and pavement. Drip keeps the water in the island.

03

Trees

Emitters spaced out toward the edge of the canopy and added as the tree grows.

04

New shrubs and trees tied into drip on the day they go in the ground.

05

Pots and planters

Small tubing run to containers on the patio so they water on the same schedule.

06

Beds still on spray

Old spray zones in shrub beds converted over to drip.

Losing plants every summer?

It is often the drip. We check each emitter and show you which plants are getting too little or too much, on a free estimate.

On site

We count the plants before we count the parts.

A drip quote starts with the plants. We walk each bed, note what is planted and how big it is, check the valve and the pressure, and then give you a written price for the drip work.

We also look for an old filter or a missing pressure regulator at the valve. Those two parts are behind a lot of dead plants on East Valley drip systems.

Drip install

How a drip zone goes in.

Drip is simple once it is laid out right. Common drip problems come from a missing filter, the wrong emitters or tubing left on the surface to cook.

In summer heat, tubing left on top of the rock gets brittle and cracks. We bury or cover the lines and bring each emitter up at the plant.

01

Plan the layout

Plants, emitters and tubing mapped.

02

Set the head

Filter and regulator added at the valve.

03

Run the tubing

Lines trenched or buried under rock.

04

Place emitters

Sized and set at each plant.

05

Flush and test

Lines flushed, every emitter checked.

Plants and beds

Drip pairs with a desert landscape.

A lot of drip work goes in alongside new plants, rock and trees. Doing the irrigation on the same job means the tubing goes in before the rock, not dug in after.

Desert trees like palo verde and mesquite, shrubs like Texas sage and ground covers like lantana all belong on drip. Planning the layout with the planting plan puts an emitter where each root ball ends up.

Drip pricing

What a drip system costs depends on four things.

Every yard has a different plant count and layout, so drip is priced after we see it. These are the four things that matter.

A small front yard bed in Chandler and a full desert backyard in Queen Creek are both drip jobs. The tubing, the emitter count and the labor are very different.

Number of plants

Each plant needs its own emitters and a line to reach it.

New or existing

Adding to a working zone takes less than starting from the valve.

What covers the ground

Working under existing rock takes longer than open soil.

Trees in the mix

Trees need more emitters and may need their own line.

The written quote covers all of it before we start.

Questions

Drip irrigation questions.

Ask us anything not listed here during your free estimate. We can check a zone with you while it runs.

Run times, dying plants and tree watering are the common drip questions in Chandler, especially heading into summer. Here are straight answers.

Drip runs much longer than spray because it puts water out slowly. Run times depend on the emitters and the plants, so we set them per zone rather than guessing.

Usually a clogged or missing emitter, a broken line or an emitter too small for the plant as it grew. Checking the zone while it runs shows which one it is.

Often they do, since trees need more water less often than shrubs. We will look at your valves and tell you if a separate zone makes sense.

Yes, and it should. Covered tubing lasts longer out of the sun and keeps the yard looking clean.

Flush the lines and clean the filter now and then, and check the emitters as plants grow. Adding emitters over time is normal.

Yes. We install drip across San Tan Valley, Queen Creek, Chandler, Gilbert and the East Valley.
