Which grass has drip irrigation under the turf?

Its not a trick question!  With the drought we are experiencing, brown grass is a reality for most homeowners.  However, if you have drip irrigation, you can water more efficiently and more often during water restrictions. Here is a picture of a customers home where we installed drip irrigation under the turf as well as a section of his neighbor's yard without drip irrigation.  Wow - what a difference!

Do you want a green lawn this summer?

Sounds impossible given we are already in stage 2 water restrictions.  However, there is an amazing new technology that will allow you to have green grass during the drought and will save you money on your water bills.  It is a new underground drip irrigation system for your lawns.  This is easiest done when you are installing a new lawn but it can be done on an existing lawn.

 

Here is how it works - Tubing is trenched about 3"-4" below the grass surface and covered over with sod.  When the system comes on, the grass roots are watered -which is the only part of the grass that needs the water.  Drip irrigation is the world's most efficient type of irrigation and subsurface drip is especially so because it is unaffected by wind and evaporation resulting in 70% less water use than conventional overhead sprinklers.

Pretty Amazing - Save Water and Money and have green grass all year long! 

Examples of Drip Irrigation under turf

Preferred has done many successful installations of drip irrigation under turf.  The following is a great example of a project we did this spring for a customer that included adding drip to their turf.  As you can see from the pictures, the customer now enjoys a green, healthy lawn as well as some low maintenance landscaping.
