Deliver Water Where Plants Need It Most
Professional irrigation installation for residential and commercial properties.
Watering by hand or moving hoses around your property wastes time, misses spots, and often delivers too much water in some areas and not enough in others. An irrigation system automates the process, applying water based on plant type, sun exposure, and soil conditions so you stop guessing and plants receive consistent moisture.
American Dream Landscape & Property Management installs irrigation systems for both residential and commercial customers. The work includes designing zones based on water pressure and plant needs, trenching for supply lines, installing valves and sprinkler heads or drip emitters, connecting a controller, and programming a watering schedule. Each system is tested for coverage and adjusted before the site is restored.

How an Irrigation System Gets Installed
The crew maps out zones, marking where heads or emitters will go and where trenches need to run. A trencher or shovel is used to bury supply lines below root depth and frost line, then valves are installed in valve boxes to control each zone independently. Spray heads are placed in turf areas, rotors cover larger zones, and drip lines are laid in beds where plants need slow, targeted watering.
After installation, you will notice even water distribution across each zone without dry patches or oversaturated spots. Heads pop up during watering and retract cleanly when finished. The controller lets you adjust run times and skip days based on rainfall or temperature, and the system operates on schedule without requiring daily attention.
The team backfills trenches, replaces sod, and rakes beds smooth so the site looks undisturbed once work is finished. The service includes one seasonal startup and explanation of controller functions. Ongoing maintenance such as winterization or head adjustments is available separately.
Answers to Questions You Likely Have
Homeowners and property managers planning irrigation work want to understand how systems are zoned, what maintenance involves, and how quickly the property recovers from trenching. These answers cover the essentials.
What is the difference between spray heads and drip irrigation?
Spray heads deliver water quickly over turf and groundcovers, while drip irrigation applies water slowly at the root zone in beds and around trees. Each method suits different plant types and soil conditions.
How many zones does my property need?
Zone count depends on water pressure, property size, and plant groupings. Most residential systems use three to six zones, while larger commercial properties may require more to cover all areas without pressure loss.
What should I do if a sprinkler head breaks?
Contact American Dream Landscape & Property Management to replace the head. Broken heads cause water waste and uneven coverage, so repairs should happen promptly to avoid stress on surrounding plants.
Why does my system need seasonal adjustments?
Plants need more water in summer heat and less during cooler months. Adjusting run times prevents overwatering in spring and underwatering in peak summer, keeping plants healthy and reducing water bills.
How long does irrigation installation take?
Most residential systems are installed in one to three days depending on property size, number of zones, and site complexity. Commercial projects or those requiring pump systems take longer.
An irrigation system saves time, reduces water waste, and keeps plants healthier than inconsistent hand watering. American Dream Landscape & Property Management designs and installs systems for both residential and commercial properties, with programming tailored to your landscape and climate.
