How often should I water my lawn with my sprinkler system?

In Goodyear's desert climate, most lawns need watering two to three times per week during hot months, with deeper but less frequent watering in cooler seasons. Your irrigation system should be programmed to water in the early morning hours before sunrise. This timing minimizes evaporation and allows grass to dry before evening, reducing disease risk. We program your controller with seasonal adjustments so your lawn gets the right amount of water year-round without waste.

Can you retrofit my existing irrigation system to make it more efficient?

Yes, we specialize in upgrading older systems with modern, water-saving technology. Common upgrades include installing smart controllers that adjust watering based on weather, replacing old spray heads with more efficient models, adding pressure regulation to prevent misting and waste, and converting appropriate zones to drip irrigation. These improvements can significantly reduce water use while improving plant health. We'll assess your current system and recommend the most cost-effective upgrades for your property.

What's the difference between spray heads and rotors?

Spray heads release water in a fixed fan pattern and work best for small to medium areas like flower beds and small lawn sections. They apply water quickly but have limited throw distance. Rotors rotate while watering and can cover larger areas, making them ideal for open lawn spaces. They apply water more slowly, allowing better soil absorption. We select the right head type for each zone based on area size, shape, and plant needs.

Irrigation & Sprinkler Systems

Keep your landscape healthy with smart irrigation systems designed for efficiency and convenience.

Water is precious in Arizona, and proper irrigation is essential for maintaining healthy landscapes while using this resource responsibly. A well-designed sprinkler system delivers the right amount of water to each area of your property at optimal times, keeping plants healthy while reducing waste and lowering your water bills. At PureLane Goodyear Landscaping, we design, install, and maintain irrigation systems that work efficiently in Goodyear's desert climate.

Modern irrigation technology has come a long way from basic timer systems. Today's smart controllers adjust watering schedules based on weather conditions, soil moisture, and plant needs. We install systems that take advantage of these technologies to give you healthy landscapes with less water and lower utility costs.

Complete Irrigation Solutions for Your Property

We handle every aspect of irrigation, from initial design through installation, repairs, and seasonal maintenance. Whether you need a new system for a landscape renovation or repairs to an existing setup, we have the expertise to keep water flowing where it needs to go.

What We Offer

•Custom System Design: We create irrigation plans tailored to your landscape layout, plant types, and water pressure.
•Professional Installation: Our team installs systems with proper trenching, piping, and head placement for optimal coverage.
•Smart Controller Programming: We set up and program controllers to deliver water efficiently based on your specific needs.
•Drip Irrigation: Low-pressure systems deliver water directly to plant roots with minimal waste or evaporation.
•Repairs and Troubleshooting: We fix leaks, replace broken heads, and diagnose system problems quickly.
•Seasonal Adjustments: We modify watering schedules as plant needs and weather patterns change throughout the year.

Each irrigation project starts with a thorough site assessment. We evaluate your water source, measure pressure and flow rates, analyze soil types, and identify different watering zones based on sun exposure and plant needs. This information guides our design to ensure every area receives appropriate water coverage.

Water Efficiency in Arizona Landscapes

Water conservation is not just environmentally responsible, it makes financial sense. Arizona water rates continue to rise, and many municipalities offer rebates for installing efficient irrigation systems. A properly designed system pays for itself through reduced water bills and healthier plants that require less replacement.

How Smart Irrigation Saves Water

Traditional timer-based systems water on fixed schedules regardless of weather. They run during rain storms, water frozen ground in winter, and ignore soil moisture levels. Smart controllers connect to weather data and adjust automatically. If rain is forecast, they skip the scheduled watering. On hot, windy days, they extend run times slightly to compensate for evaporation.

Zone-based design is another key efficiency factor. Lawns need different watering than shrub beds. Full-sun areas require more water than shaded spaces. Native desert plants need minimal irrigation compared to tropical specimens. We create separate zones for each area type and program them independently for maximum efficiency.

Drip irrigation represents the most efficient watering method for many landscape applications. Water goes directly to plant root zones through small emitters, reducing evaporation to nearly zero. Drip systems work especially well for flower beds, vegetable gardens, and desert plantings. We often combine drip zones with traditional spray or rotor zones to create hybrid systems that optimize water use across your entire landscape.

Proper scheduling matters as much as equipment. We program systems to water during early morning hours when temperatures are coolest and winds are calm. This timing minimizes evaporation and gives plants time to absorb water before afternoon heat arrives. Multiple short cycles work better than one long watering session, allowing water to soak in without runoff.

Keeping Your System Running Smoothly

Even the best irrigation system needs regular attention. Sprinkler heads get damaged by lawn mowers or foot traffic. Pipes develop leaks over time. Controllers need battery replacements and program updates. Regular maintenance catches small problems before they become expensive repairs or water waste issues.

Our Maintenance Approach

We recommend seasonal system checks at minimum. Spring inspections prepare your system for summer's peak demand. We test each zone, adjust heads for proper coverage, check for leaks, and verify controller settings. Fall maintenance prepares systems for winter by adjusting schedules for cooler weather and slower plant growth.

Coverage audits identify dry spots and overspray issues. We run each zone and observe actual water distribution patterns. Head-to-head coverage ensures every area receives adequate water. Adjusting spray patterns and replacing worn nozzles improves uniformity and eliminates waste.

Integration with lawn care and maintenance services creates synergy. When our crews visit for mowing, they notice irrigation problems like broken heads or dry patches. Quick fixes prevent damage and keep your landscape looking its best. This coordination saves you money and protects your investment in both irrigation and landscaping.

For properties with extensive landscape design installations, proper irrigation is critical to protecting new plantings. We can design phased watering programs that deliver extra water to newly installed plants while established areas receive normal irrigation. As plants mature and root systems develop, we gradually reduce supplemental watering to encourage deep root growth and drought tolerance.
