Arbor Masters

Now, more than ever, commercial properties are demanding more from their irrigation systems. They want them to operate at maximum efficiency — and provide proof that they are doing just that. In fact, over-watering has effects that touch beyond the limits of wasted water. Here are some problems that over-watering can cause:

• Leaches nutrients from the root zone
• Causes fungus and attracts pests
• Causes plant death
• Adds maintenance time and labor
• Run-off damages hardscapes and is a liability
• Poor public relations

Often, Arbor Masters® begins irrigation design on commercial property with a water audit. This is a standardized test that measures how effectively the irrigation is delivering water to turf and landscape areas. The purpose of the audit is to monitor the precipitation and flow rate by each zone and establish the optimum rate based on the milieu of a particular zone.

Proactive service is another way that Arbor Masters® provides maximum efficiency for commercial clients. Irrigation and project managers use a standard process for maintaining efficiency which includes regular inspections, repairs performed as specified, and a 24 hour emergency service number for immediate access day or night.
