Irrigation Installation In Covington, LA

At Northshore Sprinkler & Lighting, we know that a  good irrigation installation begins with a good design.  That's why we have a specific process that ensures that you get an efficient irrigation system that is comprised of quality parts.  We use only the best sprinkler heads, nozzles,  valves and  controllers so that your sprinkler irrigation system will function properly in the heat of Southeast Louisiana.  Every new irrigation system that we design & install will include a quality backflow device and a rain/freeze sensor  to ensure the proper operation and life of your lawn sprinkler system.   Once customers are happy with the design, we can move forward with the sprinkler system installation.

 Our design process for irrigation system involves several key steps:

1. Site Analysis: Evaluate the landscape, considering factors such as soil type, plant types, sun exposure, and slope. Identify existing features, like structures and utility lines, that may impact the irrigation layout.
2. Water Source Assessment: Determine the water source for the irrigation system, whether it's a municipal water supply, well, or another source. Assess water pressure and flow rates to ensure they meet the system's requirements.
3. System Requirements: Define the irrigation system's goals, considering factors like water efficiency, zoning, and the types of plants to be watered. Determine the number of zones needed and the appropriate watering schedule.
4. Component Selection: Choose  components such as pipes, valves, sprinklers, and controllers based on the system requirements and the specific needs of the landscape.
5. Zoning: Divide the landscape into zones based on factors like plant water requirements, sun exposure, and soil conditions. Each zone may have its own set of sprinklers and watering schedule.
6. Sprinkler Layout: Plan the placement of sprinklers within each zone, considering the coverage area, spray patterns, and the reach of each sprinkler head.
7. Controller Placement: Decide on the location for the  controller, ensuring it is easily accessible and protected from the elements. Consider using smart controllers for added convenience and efficiency.
8. Piping Layout: Design the layout of the piping system, considering the most efficient routes and avoiding obstacles. Include backflow prevention devices to protect the water supply.
9. Slope and Grade Considerations: Adjust the design to account for any slopes or changes in grade, ensuring even water distribution across the landscape.
10. Rain Sensor Integration: Incorporate rain sensors to automatically shut off the system during rainfall, preventing overwatering and promoting water conservation.
11. Drip Irrigation Considerations: If applicable, include drip irrigation for targeted watering of specific plants or areas with minimal water wastage.
12. Final Design Documentation: Create a detailed plan that includes a layout of all components, specifications, and any additional instructions for the installation team
