Reduced Irrigation Water Usage
Ongoing water management and irrigation system maintenance with BrightView monitors plant health, adjusts and repairs equipment, and maintains landscaping to minimize water usage and costs.
Ongoing Monitoring of Irrigation Equipment
BrightView’s water management includes ongoing monitoring and adjustment to maximize plant success and reduce water consumption. Irrigation systems are monitored and inspected for damage, leaks, and appropriate setting for areas under irrigation. Spray patterns of sprinkler systems are tested and adjusted, we check for clogged lines and mixed nozzle sizes of sprinkler heads, and repair any leaks. Best practices are implemented to reduce the loss of water through evaporation or wind.
Landscape Maintenance for Reduced Water Consumption
With BrightView’s constant monitoring, landscaping can be maintained and irrigation services adjusted to attain the water consumption goals. Our landscaping and irrigation services include water management techniques such as drip irrigation for ornamental shrubs to reduce water usage, setting lawn mower blades higher to increase ground shade and water retention in the soil, and mulching around shrubs and planters to minimize evaporation and cut down on weeds.
Irrigation Adjustments for Healthy Plants
Consideration is given to seasonal changes and weather patterns, and watering timing is adjusted accordingly. Frequency and duration will be adjusted according to plant requirements—trees and shrubs require deep watering but less frequently than grass and turf who’s shallow roots respond to more frequent but shorter irrigation cycles. By installing smart irrigation controllers, rain shut-off devices or in-ground moisture sensors, we ensure plants are only watered when needed, significantly reducing water irrigation costs and protecting plants from overwatering damage.
