Frequently Asked Questions

Will an automatic sprinkler system use more water than I'm currently using?

No. In fact, it will conserve water. You'll never have to worry about runoff from overwatering or wasting water when you forget to turn off the hose.

Can I save money by installing my own system?

Because Blue Jay Irrigation is familiar with local plumbing and electrical codes, you won't have to worry about costly installation mistakes. Blue Jay can design and install the most cost-effective and energy-efficient system possible, faster, with less disruption to the existing landscape, and will guarantee the work.

Will an automatic sprinkler system water as well as I can water by hand?

It will do a much better job because a professionally designed system will deliver exactly the right amount of water to individual lawn and garden areas.

We get an abundant amount of rainfall a year. Do we really need a sprinkler system?

The only way to ensure healthy, lush growth is to make certain your lawn and plants receive a regularly timed, evenly measured amount of water. In the dry season when there is little or no rain, your yard can suffer damage after just a few days without water.

How do I know what type of system is best for me?

It's always best to work with a professional irrigation contractor who is knowledgeable about such factors as water source and pressure, soil type, planting materials and weather conditions. Blue Jay Irrigation will take all of this into consideration in designing a system specific to the needs of your landscape.

Does having a sprinkler system really save time?

Yes. You won't have to spend another minute of your valuable leisure time watering the lawn.
