Drip Irrigation Systems
Targeted, water-efficient irrigation for garden beds, planters, and landscaped areas.
Precise Watering Where It Matters Most
Drip irrigation delivers water directly to the root zone of each plant through a network of low-pressure emitters and tubing. Unlike conventional sprinkler heads that spray water through the air — losing a significant portion to wind and evaporation — drip systems place water exactly where plants need it, at a slow, steady rate that the soil can absorb without runoff. This targeted approach is ideal for garden beds, foundation plantings, hedgerows, raised planters, and any area where overhead spray would be wasteful, ineffective, or damaging to foliage.
Water Savings and Plant Health
Drip irrigation typically reduces water usage by 30 to 50 percent compared to traditional spray heads in the same planting area. Because water is delivered at the root level rather than sprayed across the surface, less water is lost to evaporation and wind drift. The slow application rate also means deeper soil penetration, which encourages deeper root growth and healthier, more drought-resistant plants. For Massachusetts homeowners in Lexington, Concord, Waltham, and surrounding towns who are conscious of water use and want to maintain lush garden beds without waste, drip irrigation is the most efficient option available.
Integration with Existing Systems
Drip zones can be added to an existing sprinkler system without replacing what you already have. We tap into your current mainline and add a dedicated drip zone with its own pressure regulator, filter, and control valve. This allows your controller to manage drip and spray zones independently — garden beds get slow, deep watering while turf zones get the higher volume they need. We use professional-grade drip tubing and emitters rated for multi-season durability, and we lay out each run to match the specific spacing and water needs of your plantings.
What You Get
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We add drip zones to existing systems by tapping into the mainline and adding a dedicated pressure regulator and filter. The drip zone runs as a separate zone on your controller, so it can be scheduled independently from your spray zones. No changes to your existing sprinkler zones are needed.
Drip systems typically use 30 to 50 percent less water than traditional spray heads covering the same planting area. The exact savings depend on your soil type, plant selection, and current watering habits. Combined with a smart controller that adjusts for weather, savings can be even greater.
Drip systems are low maintenance. The main task is checking emitters once or twice per season to ensure none are clogged — especially in areas with hard water. We include drip zone inspection as part of our spring activation and mid-season check-in visits. Filters should be cleaned annually.
