Precision Design and Installation

Zone Layout By Sun, Shade, Slope, and Plant Type

We separate turf, beds, and foundation areas so each zone gets the right rate and frequency. Layouts account for microclimates, wind, and elevation changes to keep coverage consistent and runoff minimal.

Pressure-Regulated Heads & Matched-Precipitation Nozzles

Regulated heads maintain ideal pressure at the nozzle, while MPR nozzles deliver uniform precipitation across the zone. Correct spacing and head-to-head coverage eliminate dry bands, pooling, and overspray onto hardscapes.

Drip Irrigation for Beds and Foundation Zones

Drip lines place water at the root zone to reduce evaporation and leaf wetting. In foundation areas, low-flow emitters provide steady moisture that protects structures and supports deep, healthy roots.

Smart Controllers with Rain & Freeze Sensors

Weather-aware controls pause or shorten cycles during rain and freeze events and can adjust runtimes seasonally. Optional Wi-Fi/app access lets you review schedules, flow alerts, and make quick changes from your phone.

Clean Trenching, Backflow Prevention, Code-Compliant Tie-Ins

We trench neatly, compact backfill, and set valve boxes flush for easy service. Backflow assemblies are tested as required, tie-ins meet local code, and you receive clear as-built documentation for future maintenance.

Repairs and Troubleshooting

Leak Detection, Broken Head and Line Replacement, and Valve/Solenoid Service

We isolate zones, pressure-test laterals, and use acoustic listening and visual checks to pinpoint leaks. Damaged risers, swing joints, and nozzles are replaced; crooked or sunken heads are reset to grade. Sticking valves and failed solenoids are rebuilt or swapped, and manifolds are resealed for long-term reliability.

Controller Diagnostics, Wiring Repairs, and Zone Balancing

Power, transformer output, fuses, and sensor inputs (rain/freeze/flow) are verified. We clean up programs, correct overlapping start times, and map zones clearly. Splices are redone with waterproof connectors, broken common wires are traced and repaired, and runtimes are rebalanced so high-need areas don’t overwater low-need beds.

Coverage Corrections to Eliminate Dry Spots and Overspray

Nozzles are matched for precipitation rate, arcs and radii are set precisely, and heads are re-spaced or added where necessary to achieve head-to-head coverage. We raise or lower tilted/sunken heads, swap in pressure-regulated bodies, and redirect spray away from hardscapes and fences to reduce waste and staining.

Retrofit Upgrades that Improve Efficiency Without a Full Replacement

Smart WiFi controllers, pressure-regulated heads, high-efficiency rotary nozzles, check valves on slopes, and drip conversions in beds can cut water use significantly while improving plant health: all without re-piping the yard.

Seasonal Checks and Tune-Ups

Spring Start-Ups

We pressurize the system, flush lines, clean or replace clogged nozzles, verify valve function, and test rain/freeze sensors. Schedules are set for spring growth, and any repairs are documented with clear pricing.

Mid-Season Audits

Distribution uniformity and operating pressure are checked; runtimes are tuned for heat and drought. Heads are re-leveled after settling, filters and drip emitters are flushed, and overspray is corrected to keep water where it’s needed.

Fall and Winter Prep

We reduce runtimes for cooler weather, insulate or protect backflow assemblies, set freeze shutoffs, and perform quick drain-downs or blowouts where appropriate.

Water-Efficient Programming

ET and Weather-Based Schedules that Adapt to Seasonal Changes

We program runtimes using evapotranspiration data and local weather so your system automatically waters less after rain and more during heat waves.

Micro-Climate Programming for Turf vs. Beds to Prevent Overwatering

Turf, shrub beds, and foundation zones get separate programs based on sun, shade, slope, and soil. Matched precipitation rates and cycle-and-soak methods reduce runoff on clay soils and help water reach the root zone.

Compliance with Local Watering Guidelines to Avoid Fines and Waste

Start times and day restrictions are set to align with municipal rules. Rain and freeze sensors suspend cycles when conditions require, protecting plants and conserving water.

What You Can Expect

Choosing Ellis Landscape Services means working with a team that values professionalism, precision, and long-term results.

A Thorough Site Audit and Transparent Estimate

We start every project with a detailed system check and property review. Our technicians map your irrigation zones, test water pressure, and evaluate coverage to identify both strengths and problem areas. Your proposal includes a clear, line-item estimate that explains exactly what we recommend, why it’s needed, and how it benefits your lawn and landscape.

Neat Installation Practices and Respectful Crews

Our crews work efficiently while maintaining a clean jobsite. Trenches are carefully cut and backfilled, valve boxes are installed level, and hard surfaces like driveways and patios are protected during the process.

Hands-On Training for Your Irrigation System

Once your system is installed or repaired, we provide a step-by-step walkthrough of your controller, programs, and sensors. You’ll learn how to run cycles, make seasonal schedule adjustments, and use features like rain/freeze sensors.

Ongoing Support and Seasonal Adjustments

Landscapes grow and change, and irrigation needs to adapt. That’s why we offer mid-season tune-ups, quick-response repairs, and system upgrades like smart controllers, high-efficiency nozzles, or expanded zones for new beds and trees.
