Want Green Grass this Summer?



Sounds impossible given many in our area are already in stage 3 or 4 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!  While we have been installing them for several years now, it is becoming more popular especially with San Antonio in a seemingly non ending drought.  If interested, please give us a call at 210-657-7737.
