Drip Irrigation Installation

Drip Irrigation Systems

We employ at least some drip irrigation in a majority of instances when installing a new landscape system. It essentially consists of tubing similar to a hose with holes that is wrapped around trees and through plant beds. The tubing is then covered by mulch so it is not visible but remains on top of the soil to deliver moisture through the holes directly to the roots. The drip holes are usually one foot apart so a plant will generally be near two holes. Trees often need more water so we wrap the tubing around it a few times. If a plant has access to two holes, we can consider that it gets a two-gallon flow of water per hour during irrigation times. Our customers generally run the system twice weekly. The drip irrigation system is not subject to the same watering restrictions as a sprinkler system since water use is so much more efficient and it is underground. There are several advantages of using this method of watering. The consistent moisture release vastly enhances plant growth but its slow nature doesn’t waste water through evaporation or overwatering. Plants also endure less stress caused by variations of moisture in the soil. All these benefits, combined with a much lower cost than other methods of watering, make it a tremendous value for anyone looking for irrigation in Tampa Bay.
