The Positive Impact of Smart Irrigation
Celebrate Smart Irrigation Month by learning about the many positive impacts of smart irrigation on our society, economy, and planet.
Do You Need an Irrigation Audit?
To keep your landscape healthy, your irrigation system must operate efficiently to deliver the right amount of water plants need to thrive. An irrigation audit can determine if your system is working properly, and pinpoint where it may need attention.
Creating Water-Wise Landscaping in the Spring
Once early Spring clean-up of garden and flower beds is done, and the ground is unfrozen, preparing and planting landscapes can finally begin. It’s also the perfect time of year to create a water-wise landscape for efficient watering over the hot months of Summer ahead.
Replacing Aging Irrigation Infrastructure
Today’s weather-based Smart irrigation technology is much more water-wise than aging irrigation systems built 10-15 years ago. That’s because Smart controllers can monitor the weather, current soil conditions, evaporation, and plant use to determine when and how much water is needed, based on real-time conditions of the site.
The Benefits of Green Infrastructure
Learn about the environmental, economic, and social benefits of green infrastructure and how smart irrigation helps it thrive.
Ways to Reduce Water Use
After decades of little or no effort globally to protect and conserve Earth’s most precious, finite resource, it’s more critical than ever that we do everything in our power to reduce water use to sustain life as we know it to survive and most importantly, not waste water– both indoors and out.
The Damaging Effect of Winter Drought
Winter drought effects can be quite severe, leaving trees and plants highly stressed. Pine needles turn brown and fall off, plant leaves curl up and drop off, and plant roots beneath the frozen ground surface dry out, because they can’t absorb needed moisture from soil.
Key Components of Green and Sustainable Cities
Green cities are rapidly becoming the way of the future, with many social, economic, and environmental benefits. So, what makes a city green?
Regenerative Landscapes
Regenerative Landscapes is thinking long term, using methods that improve soil conditions that are sustainable for future plantings, and that will play a major role in restoring our environment for years to come.
