Expert Irrigation System Design & Installation

The Difference Landscapes provides irrigation design, installation, and maintenance services for lawn sprinklers and commercial and residential irrigation systems in New Hampshire.

Landscape irrigation systems help keep your landscape watered and healthy when rain alone isn’t enough. A professional irrigation system also saves you time by eliminating the need to move and replace hoses and sprinklers when watering your landscape during the summer.

An in-ground irrigation method provides you with accurate and effortless control over water supply to your yard, plants, and trees. There is no simpler way to guard the health and value of your landscape investment.

Residential Irrigation Systems

Keep your home’s landscape lush and healthy with professional residential irrigation systems designed specifically for New Hampshire properties. Our residential irrigation installation services create customized watering solutions that maintain beautiful lawns, vibrant gardens, and thriving plantings without the time-consuming effort of manual watering. We design systems with multiple zones to accommodate different plant water requirements, ensuring your lawn receives different coverage than your flower beds or shrubs. Our residential sprinkler systems feature programmable smart controllers that automatically adjust watering schedules based on weather conditions, season, and plant needs, providing optimal hydration while conserving water and reducing utility costs. Installation includes strategic sprinkler head placement for complete coverage without overspray onto hardscapes, efficient rotor and spray head selection based on coverage areas, proper pipe sizing and burial depth to withstand freeze-thaw cycles, backflow prevention devices to protect your home’s water supply, and rain sensors that pause watering during precipitation. We work carefully to minimize disruption to existing landscaping during installation, and our systems are designed for easy winterization to protect against New Hampshire’s cold weather. Professional residential irrigation systems not only save you hours of watering time each week but also promote healthier landscapes through consistent, appropriate watering that manual methods can’t match.

Commercial Irrigation Systems

Maintain impressive commercial landscapes that enhance your business image with reliable commercial irrigation systems from The Difference Landscapes. We understand that commercial properties require irrigation solutions that deliver consistent results with minimal maintenance and maximum efficiency. Our commercial irrigation services cater to office parks, retail centers, apartment complexes, medical facilities, municipal properties, and businesses throughout New Hampshire. Commercial systems are designed to handle larger coverage areas with professional-grade components built for durability and longevity, including high-capacity controllers managing multiple zones simultaneously, commercial-grade sprinkler heads and rotors for extensive coverage, robust mainline piping sized for adequate flow and pressure, centralized control systems allowing remote monitoring and adjustments, and water-efficient designs that reduce operating costs. We create irrigation designs that work around business operations, scheduling installations to minimize disruption and programming systems to water during off-hours when customers and employees aren’t present. Our commercial irrigation installation includes proper documentation of system layout, valve locations, and specifications for future maintenance needs. Many commercial clients appreciate our maintenance programs that include spring start-ups, mid-season inspections, repairs, and fall winterization, ensuring systems operate reliably throughout each season without requiring your staff’s attention.

Sprinkler System Installation Services

Professional sprinkler system installation is the foundation of a reliable, efficient irrigation system that serves your property for decades. The Difference Landscapes provides comprehensive sprinkler system installation services throughout New Hampshire, handling every detail from design through final testing. Our installation process begins with thorough site assessment evaluating your property’s layout, water source capacity, pressure levels, and landscape characteristics. We create detailed irrigation designs showing zone layouts, sprinkler head locations, valve placement, and controller positioning. Our certified installation teams use professional trenching equipment to install supply lines at proper depths (typically 8-12 inches) that protect pipes from damage while minimizing landscape disruption. We install various sprinkler head types optimized for different applications: spray heads for smaller areas and flower beds with 4-15 foot radius, rotor heads for larger lawn areas with 15-50 foot radius, drip irrigation for efficient watering of individual plants and shrubs, and bubbler heads for trees and specific plant watering. Each zone is carefully balanced for proper pressure and coverage, with sprinkler heads positioned to eliminate dry spots and minimize overspray onto sidewalks, driveways, or buildings. Installation includes backflow prevention devices required by code, quality control valves for reliable operation, and weatherproof controllers with user-friendly programming. After installation, we thoroughly test the entire system, adjust sprinkler head angles and radius, program initial watering schedules, and provide complete operation training so you understand how to use and adjust your new irrigation system.

Irrigation System Maintenance & Repair

Protect your irrigation investment and ensure reliable performance with professional irrigation system maintenance and repair services. Even the best-designed systems require regular maintenance to operate efficiently and avoid costly problems. The Difference Landscapes offers comprehensive maintenance programs and prompt repair services for all types of irrigation systems throughout New Hampshire. Our spring start-up service activates your system after winter, including gradually pressurizing the system to check for damage, inspecting and cleaning sprinkler heads, testing all zones for proper coverage and pressure, adjusting spray patterns and head positions as needed, programming seasonal watering schedules, and checking controller batteries and settings. Mid-season maintenance visits catch small problems before they become expensive repairs, with inspections checking for leaks, clogged heads, pressure issues, and coverage gaps. Our repair services address common irrigation problems including broken or damaged sprinkler heads, leaking valves or pipes, controller malfunctions, wiring issues, and pressure problems. Fall winterization is essential in New Hampshire to prevent freeze damage, involving using compressed air to blow out all water from pipes and sprinkler heads, draining valves and backflow preventers, shutting down and protecting controllers, and documenting any repairs needed for spring. Regular irrigation maintenance extends system lifespan, reduces water waste from leaks and inefficient operation, prevents landscape damage from dry spots or overwatering, and saves money by catching problems early. Whether you need seasonal maintenance or emergency repairs, our experienced technicians respond quickly with the expertise and parts to keep your irrigation system operating perfectly.

Custom Irrigation System Design

Every property has unique irrigation needs, and custom irrigation system design ensures your landscape receives optimal watering tailored to its specific characteristics. The Difference Landscapes specializes in creating custom irrigation designs that balance efficiency, coverage, and budget for residential and commercial properties throughout New Hampshire. Our design process starts with comprehensive site evaluation assessing your property’s topography and slope, existing water supply capacity and pressure, soil type and drainage characteristics, sun exposure and shade patterns, plant types and water requirements, hardscape locations to avoid overspray, and any local regulations or restrictions. We use this information to create detailed irrigation plans showing zone layouts organized by plant water needs and sun exposure, sprinkler head types and placement for complete coverage, controller and valve locations for convenient access, mainline routing and pipe sizing for adequate flow, and estimated water usage for each zone. Modern irrigation design incorporates water-saving technologies including smart controllers with weather-based adjustments, rain sensors that pause watering during precipitation, soil moisture sensors for precise watering decisions, pressure-regulating components for consistent performance, and water-efficient sprinkler heads with matched precipitation rates. We design systems with expansion capability, allowing future additions of zones or features without major modifications. Our custom irrigation designs are presented with clear drawings, equipment specifications, and cost estimates, helping you make informed decisions about your irrigation investment. Quality design is the difference between an irrigation system that’s a valuable asset and one that’s a constant source of problems and frustration.

Benefits of Professional Irrigation Systems

Investing in professional irrigation systems delivers numerous advantages that enhance both your landscape and your lifestyle. Time savings are immediate and substantial—automated irrigation eliminates hours spent moving hoses and sprinklers each week, giving you more time to enjoy your outdoor spaces rather than maintain them. Water conservation is achieved through precise application that delivers appropriate amounts directly where needed, smart controllers that adjust for weather and season, and elimination of runoff and overspray common with manual watering. Consistent watering promotes healthier landscapes by providing regular moisture that prevents stress from under-watering or damage from over-watering, establishing deeper root systems that improve drought tolerance, and supporting vigorous plant growth and lush lawns. Property value increases as professional irrigation systems are desirable features that attract buyers and demonstrate proper landscape care. Cost savings accumulate through reduced water bills from efficient application, lower plant replacement costs due to healthier landscapes, decreased time and effort compared to manual watering, and prevention of expensive problems from inconsistent watering. Convenience factors include programmable schedules that water automatically even when you’re away, zone-specific settings addressing different plant needs, and rain sensors that prevent unnecessary watering. Environmental benefits include water conservation through efficient application, reduced runoff that can carry fertilizers into storm systems, and support for healthy landscapes that provide cooling and air quality benefits. Professional irrigation system installation ensures your system is properly designed and installed for maximum efficiency and reliability, delivering all these benefits while avoiding the problems that plague DIY installations.
