Sprinkler Systems & Irrigation Systems

If you are planning an upgrade to your property—perhaps a backyard remodeling project—you should seriously consider a sprinkler system from Exterior Worlds. You will absolutely enjoy a high-grade system that is properly designed, installed and maintained. It will help you have a lush, green Houston landscape design and, when it comes time to sell your home, the system will do nothing but enhance your lot.

A lawn sprinkler system installed by Exterior Worlds helps you protect the money you put into your landscaping in the most basic way: it delivers the proper amount of water at the proper time with the minimum of effort. Further, these watering systems are a fundamental part of xeriscaping because they deliver the necessary water using the best conservation practices.

An additional benefit of today’s advanced automatic sprinkler systems is that they are equipped with moisture sensors and shut-off devices that will routinely adjust the system during rainy days. This feature lets you take advantage of the best kind of water—the kind you don’t have to pay for.

Another advantage of our irrigation systems is that they allow us to divide your luxury landscape into zones. This watering technique contributes to healthy plants because it delivers the correct amount of water, depending on plant species and sun conditions. For example, with unique irrigation zones, the grass can be watered separately and more often than shrubbery, groundcover and trees.

We achieve this outcome aided by different sprinkler heads and systems. One good example is a drip irrigation system, which is an efficient subsystem, usually within a larger system, that applies water directly to the roots using a low volume drip. There are many advantages to this watering method, chief among them the reduction of water loss due to runoff and evaporation. Additionally, for Houston rose gardens, it delivers water to the roots without soaking the flower material.

Once we get your system installed, we can monitor the proper times of day to water as part of an ongoing maintenance contract. In Houston, the best watering hours are generally before the sun comes up and when temperatures are cool. Say, between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. Mid-day watering is usually less effective because of the wind and the heat from the sun. Watering in the evening or at night leaves plants wet overnight, which is an invitation for fungus to grow.

We can also regularly inspect the sprinkler heads in your system to ensure that they stay properly adjusted to avoid watering sidewalks and driveways. Experts agree that sprinkler heads should spray large droplets of water and not a fine mist to minimize loss of water due to wind drift and evaporation.

In addition, we can do routine inspections of the entire system. In this way, we discover problems and malfunctions as soon as possible. One torn line or clogged head can do damage to your landscape and your water bill.

Technological advancements have made the sprinkler systems of today cost-efficient, time-efficient and good investments in your landscape master plan. They do, indeed, make your life better.
