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 curated to the type of plant materials and gardens you desire.

The number of zone valves required depends on the different plant material types and the watering frequency needed 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 cost-effective and water-saving drip system. Depending upon the amount of plant material to be served, one or more zones may be required, and a 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.

An irrigation controller manages all the zones. Today, controllers 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 with Wi-Fi 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.
