Irrigation
Drip Irrigation Installation in San Diego, CA
Water delivered right at the root zone — less runoff, less evaporation, healthier plant beds. Ideal for slopes, native gardens, and anywhere spray irrigation wastes water.
Why Drip
The most efficient way to water a planting bed
Spray heads are built for lawns, not shrub beds — they lose a huge amount of water to evaporation, overspray onto hardscape, and runoff on slopes. Drip irrigation puts water exactly where roots need it, at a slow rate the soil can actually absorb.
We design drip layouts specifically for your plant spacing and soil, whether that's a new planting bed, a slope that's been eroding, or a conversion from an old spray zone that's wasting water.

Common questions about drip irrigation
Can you convert my existing spray heads to drip?
Yes — this is a common upgrade for beds that are currently overwatered or losing water to overspray. We'll assess the zone and recommend a conversion if it makes sense.
Is drip irrigation more expensive than spray?
Material costs can be similar or lower per zone, and drip typically uses significantly less water over time. We'll walk through the tradeoffs during your free consultation.
Does drip irrigation work on slopes?
It's one of the best options for slopes — pressure-compensating emitters keep watering even from top to bottom, unlike spray systems that tend to run off.
How often do drip systems need maintenance?
An annual check for clogged emitters and shifted lines keeps a drip system running efficiently — we offer this as part of our servicing visits.
