At Greenland, we take great pride in providing top-notch service throughout all of our service areas. Our new installations are also covered by a manufacturers comprehensive five year warranty against product defects.
Commercial
During the construction phase, Greenland installs the irrigation system after the final grade is completed. This normally happens before the sod is laid.
A couple of months advance notice is usually required in order to ensure a co-operative effort with the landscape trades. In most cases, the General Contractor will provide the plumbing hook-up along with sleeving and 110-outlet plug for the timer.
Greenland has developed strong strategic alliances with many General Contractors, Builders, Landscapers and Developers.
These relationships continue to grow and prosper each and every season.
During the estimation period, we begin by meeting at your home to evaluate the property to design a system tailored to your landscape needs. We take a pressure reading to determine your water pressure and we inspect the interior plumbing to determine your water flow rate “gallons per minute”.
Sprinkler Heads
There a two types of sprinkler heads available to the consumer and they are: rotor (left) and spray (right) heads.
The sprinkler heads are the most important product since they are the only moving parts. Rotor Heads are often used to cover large turf areas spraying between 25 and 30 feet. Spray Heads are more often used to cover small garden and lawn areas. The spray distance for a fixed pattern Spray Head is a maximum of 15 feet and can be adjusted to spray 5 feet if necessary. Spray Heads are more often used to cover gardens and small turf areas
The Controller
The Controller is the “computer” which operates the watering schedule for the irrigation system. It can be programmed to run odd or even days, by days of the week, or by interval days. The Controller can be installed in your basement or preferably in the garage for easy access. Hand held remote controls are a new product now available for the controller.
Control Valves
The Control Valve or Solenoid Valve is merely an on-off switch for each sprinkler circuit. The Control Valves are located in the lawn usually inside a green box. The Controller is connected to the Control valve via direct burial wire.
Pump Systems
Water for the irrigation system can also be supplied by submersible pump (below groundl) or by centrifugal pump (above ground suction pump ). For wells, it is important that the “replenishment rate” for the well be determined before the system in designed. The irrigation system must not exceed the replenishment rate for the well. The recommended pump size for an irrigation system would be at least ½ horse for a small lot. A three-quarter or one horse pump would be most desirable for a residential application for up to ½ Acre in size. Properties larger than an acre may require a larger pump and in some cases up to 5 horse power. Greenland will work in conjunction with the pump supplier to ensure adequate pressure and flow.
