There are many things to consider before installation. It’s not simply getting pipes and laying them in the ground. There is planning that goes into it and obstacles to overcome. Common issues to be considered are water pressure, plotting areas to install drip systems or spray heads, and assessing proper time clock settings.

An irrigation system upgrade might be suggested in order to supply each area with the appropriate amount of water for the specific type of plant material. For instance, drip systems for planters with shrubs and groundcover, or low water-use spray heads for the grass areas. Efficient programming will provide appropriate amounts of water to the diverse areas.

Considering other possibilities, one might think it’s too much water, since that area is shaded and the ground never seems to dry out.

Other variables such as diseases and plant maturity can also be the cause of poor plant health. However, irrigation is the most common cause.
