It’s amazing how many people think sprinkler systems are just for watering the lawn. There are so many more ways your sprinkler system can help you keep your yard looking nice.  Why should the grass get all the attention?  What about all of those beautifully landscaped areas next to the house?  When you go on vacation, do you come home to wilted landscape plants and thirsty bushes?  Or do you have to hire the neighbor kid to water them while you’re gone?  Many of our customers have struggled with these issues only to discover that they can have those areas easily incorporated into their existing sprinkler system. 

We have added lines to include landscaped areas and large potted plants near entrances, on decks, patios and around pools.  You can even set it up to auto fill a fountain!  There are so many options to keep your yard (all of your yard) looking great with no hand watering maintenance.  Stop struggling to keep up with the watering and spend more time enjoying your yard!  We’ll be happy to come out and give you an estimate on installing a complete sprinkler system or adding on to your existing system.  So step away from that hose and give us a call.

What is backflow?  In water supply systems, water is maintained at a significant pressure to enable water to flow from the faucet, shower, etc.  When pressure fails or is reduced, (if a water main bursts, pipes freeze or there is unexpectedly high demand on the system) water from another source (ground, holding tank, pool, sprinkler system, etc.) can be drawn into the system contaminating the drinking water.  There are over 10,000 reported cases of backflow contamination each year – some of them fatal.  A backflow prevention device keeps this from happening.  A typical device has test cocks and shut-off valves and must be tested each year. 

Missouri requires that you have your backflow device tested every year and so do many of the Kansas water purveyors.  Only a licensed technician can perform these tests.  If you receive a letter requiring you to have your device tested, or you just want it tested for peace of mind, call us.  Three of our irrigation technicians are licensed to perform the tests.  If you haven’t had yours tested for a few years, it is a good idea.  Nobody wants water from their sprinkler getting back into their drinking water.
