Irrigation Consulting Services
Irrigation Master Planning
Irrigation Design Guidelines
Construction Documentation
Preparation of master planning documents to coordinate the infrastructure required to sustain an irrigation system for one or hundreds of connections. Planning efforts include:
- Landscape area analysis
- Water meter and controller locations
- Planning for centralized irrigation control systems including communication and connection options
- Consideration of separate HOA budget accounts and maintenance responsibilities
- Water usage analysis and Bureau of Real Estate budget estimates
- Flow analysis with respect to water windows, plant palettes, and monthly evapotranspiration demands
- Hydraulic analysis
- Electrical metering for controllers, landscape lighting and power needs
- Irrigation sleeve crossings
- Coordination with dry utility consultants, civil engineering, landscape architects and construction field services
- Coordination with water purveyors for total system demand analysis
Develop comprehensive documents to structure well prepared irrigation design and consistent installation of large and/or long-term projects utilizing multiple builders, landscape architects, and irrigation designers.
Guidelines include design direction for various landscape types, equipment specifications best suited for the project, detail drawings, specifications, and master planning exhibits.
Develop highly efficient irrigation systems with detailed, easy to read irrigation plans, detail drawings, and specifications with consideration of water source – potable, tertiary treated recycled, rain water capture, condensate, or a blended combination. Documents include calculations for estimated water needs and optional programming schedules often required by local or State water efficient landscape ordinances.
Experienced services are available for the following:
- Residential and estate properties
- Commercial
- Parks and open space amenities
- Mitigation sites
- Fuel modification
- Schools and campuses
- Sports fields and facilities
- Community streetscapes and slopes

Managed Landscape Reporting
Water Auditing
System Analysis and Reporting
Preparation of colorful exhibits used by property management and owners to quantify categorized landscape areas for use with maintenance budgeting, inventory analysis, HOA turnover accounting, and preparation for GIS mapping.
Provide a complete water audit of an irrigation system to provide application rates and efficiencies using Certified Landscape Irrigation Auditor methodology developed by the Irrigation Association.
Evaluation of existing irrigation systems to determine effective functionality, efficiency, maintenance, and overall water use. Reports include explanation of findings and solutions to improve the system to reduce water demand, costs and potential liability exposure.

Central Control Programming
As-built and Controller Chart Documentation
Turnkey process to update or renovate irrigation control systems using centralized software options. The process includes any of the following:
- Guidance to select the best suited system or manufacturer for the project and the owner’s needs
- Survey of the existing system to determine equipment needs
- Preparation of biddable construction documents for controller conversions
- Estimates of probable cost
- Installation field support
- Landscape site analysis for preparation of programming parameters
- Controller system programming
Preparation of irrigation as-built plans using dimensions or GPS to locate irrigation system equipment for record and long-term management. Computer generated color controller charts provide detailed mapping of the landscape area irrigated by each control valve. Documentation can include existing systems or new installations using scanned archive plans, base CAD files, or orthographic aerial imagery.
