Don’t you just love the look of a well-maintained yard! You know, the kind where, should you step on it, the grass is a marvelous shade of green and feels like a thick pile carpet. These are the type of lawns that many strive for, but not everyone will achieve. These opulently green lawns take a lot of work, care and more often than not, good irrigation management systems. These irrigation systems are not just some simple sprinkler attached to a hose from the garden store, but professionally installed and managed irrigation systems designed to reach all the corners of a yard so that every blade of grass gets just the right amount of water.
If you are eager to have your lawn look like those other amazingly green lawns, then perhaps you are already considering having an irrigation management system installed. But how can you determine which company to trust your lawn to? Like with any professionally done work, you will need to start by talking to anyone you know who has an irrigation system in place and make note(s) of their recommendations. You may even want to talk to the grounds manager at a golf course or country club, as they are likely to have some experience with irrigation systems. Upon getting a list of recommendation, set up consultations. Be sure to write down any questions and concerns you may have regarding your lawn and any shrubbery or landscaping that may already be in place.

Be open minded and listen to what they have to say—remember, you called them because they are the professionals.
- Ask to be given a written plan of what things their bid includes. Insist on this, even if it means you have to pay for it. When you start comparing bids, you want to be sure you are comparing “like” with “like.”
In addition to taking the bids and getting the plans, it is also recommended that you get a written description of what type of maintenance and warranty is included with the work. Some people choose to have the system implemented in the spring and shut down during the fall. While this may work in many regions, it does not necessarily work everywhere.
