You know better than anyone that dead, neglected plants have zero curb appeal. If you have green, growing things on your commercial property, they need water to help them thrive.

One of the best ways to protect your investment in your property’s landscaping is to install an irrigation system.

Too much money, you say?

Commercial irrigation services can actually save you money in the long run, in a host of ways. Their water-saving features might surprise you.

Let's take a look.


Any pro will tell you an irrigation system will make your landscape more efficient and sustainable: That’s probably one of the reasons you had a sprinkler system installed in the first place.

But, what if you want to see if there’s a way to up your water efficiency? Then, it’s time to check out drip irrigation systems for certain areas and compare it to your current sprinkler.


It’s hard to believe, but winter is just around the corner.

And with the colder weather comes ice and freezing conditions that can wreak havoc on your landscape and sprinkler system if the right steps aren’t taken first.

Leaving water in your sprinkler system during the colder months can cause pipes to burst and other damage. So, it’s important you winterize the system before the first freeze.


Technology advances so quickly. Think about it.

Do you use the same cell phone you used five years ago? What about that old dinosaur of a computer you once used that seemed to take up the space of the entire desk?

I bet you’re using a smartphone with all of the bells and whistles today and a laptop or tablet that’s not even a fraction of the size of your last desktop computer. Maybe you even have a Bluetooth device in your ear for hands-free calls and a wireless mouse to boot. 

The same can be said for landscape irrigation technology.


We’ve been getting a lot of rain this year.

Idaho Falls typically receives around 12.5 inches of rainfall a year. The entire state only receives an average of 18.9 inches, making it the 42nd wettest state in the U.S.

So it’s not normally that soggy of a state.
