Irrigation Systems

In Albuquerque and New Mexico’s arid, high-desert climate, an expertly engineered automated irrigation system is a must! At Urban Earth Landscaping, we construct quality irrigation systems including drip irrigation which delivers water to the base of a tree, shrub or plant and sprinkler systems for watering lawns and large expansive areas. We design and install single or multi-zone systems that are curated to the type of plant materials and gardens you desire.

The number of zone valves required depends upon the different type of plant material and the frequency of watering required for each. Lawns require a sprinkler irrigation system that is on separate zones from drip irrigation. A lawn may require more than one zone depending upon the area covered and available water pressure. Trees, shrubs and plants generally utilize a drip system, a cost effective and water-saving system. One or more zones may be required depending upon the amount of plant material to be served and significant differential between plant water requirements. A vegetable garden often requires more frequent watering than trees, shrubs or perennials and is better served by micro-misters, thus requiring a separate zone.

All the zones are managed by an irrigation controller. Controllers today can be controlled both manually and through Wi-Fi, which allows you to control your watering schedule through an app on your phone from anywhere on the planet where there is Wi-Fi___33 accessibility.

Let Urban Earth Landscaping show you how a well-designed comprehensive irrigation system will support your plant materials to thrive in New Mexico’s high desert environment.
