FAQ

We offer a variety of irrigation systems tailored to the specific needs of lawns and garden areas. These include traditional lawn sprinkler systems with sprinkler-heads and spray heads, as well as more targeted solutions like drip irrigation systems for shrubs, flower beds, and turf areas. Our team designs each irrigation system with efficiency in mind, reducing water waste while keeping your landscape healthy. We also install irrigation controllers and timers for automated watering schedules. Whether you’re a new homeowner or upgrading an existing system, we provide complete system design and installation.

A drip irrigation system delivers water directly to the root zones of plants, which makes it an excellent choice for shrubs, garden beds, and specific turf zones. Unlike traditional spray heads, drip systems minimize water runoff and evaporation, which is ideal for water-conscious homeowners. This method is especially beneficial for precise landscape irrigation in areas where overwatering is a concern. Drip irrigation also works well in combination with lawn sprinkler systems, allowing a customized watering solution across your entire landscape design. It’s a sustainable, cost-effective addition to your landscape maintenance plan.

An irrigation controller, often paired with timers, is the brain of your lawn irrigation system. It automates when and how long each zone in your system operates, ensuring your turf, shrubs, and lawns receive the correct amount of water. Smart controllers can adjust based on weather and seasonal changes, helping homeowners conserve water while maintaining a lush outdoor space. A properly programmed controller supports healthy growth, prevents overwatering, and saves you time. We include controller programming in our system design and provide maintenance checks as part of our landscape maintenance services.

Every property is unique, so our team begins each irrigation system project with a custom system design tailored to your landscape design and plant needs. We evaluate factors like sun exposure, slope, soil type, and plant types—including turf, shrubs, and flower beds—to design the ideal layout. Some zones may use spray heads for wider coverage of lawns, while others use drip irrigation for targeted watering. We also integrate timers and irrigation controllers for full automation. Our personalized approach ensures efficient, reliable watering and supports long-term landscape maintenance.

Yes, we specialize in upgrading older lawn sprinkler systems to modern, water-efficient setups. We assess your current system and recommend improvements such as high-efficiency sprinkler-heads, smart irrigation controllers, and zone-specific drip irrigation systems for shrubs and beds. We may also update your timers to smart, weather-responsive models for even better control. These upgrades not only reduce water usage but also enhance the health of your lawns and overall landscaping. We handle everything from system design to installation and ongoing landscape maintenance, making the process easy for homeowners.

Our landscape maintenance services include comprehensive care for your irrigation system to keep it functioning at peak performance. We regularly inspect sprinkler-heads, spray heads, and drip irrigation lines for clogs or damage, and we test timers and irrigation controllers to ensure your watering schedule is optimized. Seasonal maintenance may include adjusting watering times, winterizing the system, or flushing lines. For homeowners with both lawns and shrubs, this routine care is essential to maintaining healthy plant growth and water efficiency. We ensure your landscape irrigation supports the long-term beauty of your turf and gardens.

Drip Irrigation & Drought Tolerant Landscaping Solutions

Sometimes, a sprinkler system isn’t the best way to keep your yard looking fantastic.

Drip irrigation systems have come a long way in just the last decade, and large-scale drip systems can handle virtually any size yard. They can even provide sub-surface irrigation to lawn and other groundcovers, eliminating the need for a regular in-ground sprinkler system.

Another option worth looking into is drought-tolerant landscaping, or xeriscaping. By using plants that are native to Malibu and the Los Angeles area, you can dramatically reduce your yard’s watering needs while adding drama and sophistication to your landscaping. Drought tolerant landscaping is also the easiest to maintain, and pairs well with a wide variety of hardscaping elements, including poured in place concrete elements, architectural boulders, and river rock.
