Irrigation
Pennate approaches irrigation as a support system for planting—not a standalone feature. We help homeowners, property managers, and project teams diagnose why systems underperform and align irrigation with real site conditions, plant needs, and long-term performance.
What We Help Solve With Irrigation
Most irrigation problems aren’t caused by broken parts. They stem from systems that were never designed around how the site actually behaves.
Common issues we address include:
- Dry spots, overspray, and uneven coverage
- Zone layouts that mix incompatible plant water needs
- Mismatched heads, nozzles, and spacing
- Pressure and flow issues affecting performance
- Controllers programmed without seasonal or site context
What Irrigation Means at Pennate
Irrigation decisions are informed by plant selection, exposure, soil behavior, and drainage patterns. This approach reduces plant stress, limits overwatering, and prevents recurring failures that “working” systems often hide.
Our goal is not to add complexity—it’s to make systems make sense.
How We Work
- Evaluate system performance and site constraints
- Identify underlying causes and priorities
- Recommend corrections or guide implementation based on scope
Some clients implement recommendations themselves. Others integrate irrigation work into a broader design or installation plan.
When Irrigation Is (and Isn’t) the Right Step
Irrigation is a good fit if:
- System evaluation and diagnostics
- Irrigation design for new or renovated landscapes
- Zone planning based on plant water needs
- Controller configuration and scheduling logic
- Coordination with planting and grading plans
Irrigation is not a fit if:
Recommendations are practical and scaled to the project. Some clients implement changes themselves, while others integrate irrigation work into a broader design or installation scope.
Not Sure Whether Irrigation Is the Issue?
In many cases, irrigation reviews follow consulting or landscape design—especially when drainage, layout, or plant selection are part of the problem.
Request an irrigation review if performance issues feel isolated.
If not, consulting is often the better starting point.
