Blue-Green


Blue-Green

Conserving water is one of the simplest and most important things you can do to be greener at home. Did you know that a typical single family suburban household uses at least 30% of its water for outdoor irrigation? In many cases more than 50% of that water is wasted due to evaporation or runoff caused by overwatering.

By tuning up or remodeling your current irrigation system and adding a state of the art controller, you can do your part to be "blue/green" and have significant savings.

Now's the time to schedule an irrigation audit with one of our Irrigation Association Certified Landscape Irrigation Auditors. Call Joan at 825-0602 x134 today to make an appointment.
