The Hunt Irrigation, Inc., Difference starts with our Water Smart Designs. Jeremy Hunt, President of Hunt Irrigation, Inc., is both a Certified Irrigation Contractor (CIC) and a Certified Landscape Irrigation Auditor (CLIA) by the Irrigation Association of America. Jeremy designs each residential and commercial irrigation project using the most advanced water conservation products available.
Site Survey
Each irrigation project that Hunt Irrigation, Inc., undertakes begins with a site survey. The site survey provides us with very important information such as your water pressure, the different micro climates, grade and slope, and the opportunity to observe your lawn and landscape’s specific needs.
Design Process
After obtaining all the information during the site survey, our CAD technician begins to layout the property and Jeremy starts the Irrigation layout process. This is the most crucial part of the entire project. BMP’s (Irrigation Association’s Best Management Practices) are always a main priority during the design process.
Hunt Irrigation, Inc. will assure the overall quality of the irrigation system.
It is Hunt Irrigation, Inc.’s belief that the purpose of an irrigation system is to provide supplemental water when rain fall is not sufficient to maintain the turf and landscape for its intended purpose. Sound water delivery (design) and management practices are necessary to distribute water with precision to maintain both lawn and landscape’s health while protecting our most precious natural resource-water and just as important-the environment.
- A Hunt Irrigation System will be designed to be as efficient as possible and uniformly distribute water.
- A Hunt Irrigation System shall be installed according to the request of the client while maintaining the most water efficient design specifications possible. While other contractors tell you what you will get, Jeremy/Hunt Irrigation, Inc., listens to your ideas and requests and incorporates them into your overall design.
- Hunt Irrigation will offer a regular maintenance scheduler to preserve the integrity of the design and to sustain the most efficient operation.
- Hunt Irrigation will develop a season-long schedule to assist the client in maintaining a healthy and functional landscape with the minimum amount of water required.
Design the Irrigation System for the Most Efficient and Uniform Distribution of Water.
At Hunt Irrigation, Inc., Jeremy designs every irrigation system to be efficient and to distribute water in the most uniform pattern possible. When designing your irrigation system, Jeremy gives careful consideration to soil type, root depth, plant material, microclimates, weather conditions, as well as the water source (e.g. gallon per minute availablity, the quality of the water, whether it be city water or well water and both the static and dynamic pressures). The selection of the appropriate water conservation components to complete your irrigation system is key to conserving and protecting our water resources.
The Consultation
Upon completion of your irrigation design, Jeremy will meet with you to determine whether all your concerns have been addressed and explain why he has chosen the specific components for your installation. Unlike other contracting firms that stuff your estimate in the door or scribble something down on the back of a business card, Jeremy and his associates at Hunt Irrigation, Inc., offer you the highest level of professionalism through-out the consultation, installation and completion of your irrigation system. We take the design and installation of your irrigation system very seriously. A well-designed irrigation system will add value to your lawn, landscape and home. Not to mention saving 30-40% more H2O than our competitor’s designs.
The Installation Process and Meeting the Design Criteria
The Installation of an underground Irrigation system is a complex network of piping, electric control valves, control timers, and properly placed sprinkler heads. Jeremy and his associates will arrive at your residence or commercial site with a well-maintained fleet of equipment and trucks. Then installation begins with the proper placement of flags that will determine where each sprinkler head shall be placed for optimum performance.
Then the installation of the network of piping begins. At Hunt Irrigation, Inc., we perform this part of the installation with a specialized machine that actually vibrates the pipe through the soil. This makes for a disturbance-free installation leaving your lawn and landscape in the same great shape it was in when we arrived.
Every installation we complete will result in the most efficient and uniform distribution of water. Match this with our custom Water Smart programming and you are ensured to have the most reliable irrigation system period.
In accordance with local codes Hunt Irrigation, Inc., will always subcontract the plumbing and installation of your backflow device and any additional electrical work that may need to be completed. We have worked with the same plumbing and electrical firms since we began over a decade ago. The subcontractors we have chosen to work with have the same commitment to professionalism we have.
At the end of the installation we will pressurize the system, set all the irrigation components with precision, and instruct you, the client, how to properly operate your new irrigation system. Before our trucks pull away from your property we will be sure to tidy up after ourselves and make sure that your residence or commercial site is left as clean as we found it when we arrived.
After the Installation Maintenance for Optimum Performance
Hunt Irrigation recommends that once your system is installed, have it maintained every spring. By performing an annual maintenance, you can be assured that your irrigation system is operating at peak efficiency. Hunt Irrigation, Inc.’s highly trained service staff will inspect all the components of your irrigation system, make any adjustments or repairs to the system that are necessary, and program your controller with our Water Smart scheduling.
