Water Management
Raintree Irrigation takes water efficiency into account in each
irrigation design. By using proper head spacing, nozzle sizing,
matching precipitation rates of nozzles and identifying
microclimates.
Automatic sprinklers are programmed to run at night and early morning
when wind and vaporization are at there lowest.
Raintree Irrigation & Outdoor Systems is a leader in water
conservation efforts.
These Include:
- Site Audits of existing systems
- “Smart” irrigation controller technology
- Central Control Systems
- Water Collection & Reuse systems
- Leed Irrigation Design and Installation
If you would like to more information on any of the above please call

Site Audits
Raintree Irrigation conducts site audits to determine your
landscape water requirements and the ability of your irrigation system
to meet them.
The audit is conducted by our experience technical staff who are
Certifed both as Irrigation Technicians and Landscape Irrigation
Auditors.
The auditor will supply a report and discuss the results with you.
If modifications are required to make your irrigation
system more
efficient and reduce water usage they will supply quote as well.
“Smart” irrigation controller technology.
“Smart” irrigation controllers reduce outdoor water
consumption by
monitoring site conditions and using weather information transmitted
via wireless pager to control the amount and frequency of watering.
Initially we conduct an audit of your current system, soil type,
moisture retention, plant type, ground slope, etc.
These factors are then combined with local weather data such as sun,
rain, wind, humidity etc, supplied via wireless pager.
From this information the “Smart” controller determines the
correct
amount of water to apply—not too much and not too little—to
maintain
healthy growing conditions while conserving water.
For example:
During hot dry weather, plants require more water than
during cooler periods. “Smart” controllers adjust the
amount of water
applied accordingly.
If significant rainfall occurs, rain sensors compensate by reducing the
amount of water as appropriate.
If you have a soil type that absorbs water very slowly or a property
with steep slopes, “smart” controllers will use that
information and
apply less water, more frequently, to minimize run-off.
This “Smart” controller can be installed on any
conventional system
utilizing local high-end weather stations. The result is a
healthier landscape with a deeper root system and water savings of up
to 60%.
Computerized Central Control Systems:
Computerized Central Control Systems are an irrigation management
system that controls the entire operation of an irrigation system from
a central point.
Water Collection
Raintree Irrigation is involved with the installation of Rainwater
Collection and Reuse Systems for residential and commercial properties.
This is accomplished by running storm water to a cistern or holding
tank. The irrigation system then uses this water for lawn watering.
Examples of water collection systems would be:
Residential
A
cistern under a garage floor or a “Bushman” holding tank
above or below
grade connected to the eavestrough downspouts. Water is then pumped
from the tank to the irrigation system
Commercial
Children’s water spray pad where the water is collected in an
under ground tank and used each night for lawn irrigation.
