Hi all. I am in the Holly Springs / Apex area. I have three existing drip irrigation zones at my home. We have moved, changed and added plants in recent weeks and I need someone knowledgeable with drip irrigation to help reconfigure the drip lines and emitters so that everything gets it;'s required amount of water. I have the materials as I anticipated doing this work myself, but time does not allow. I would be interested in any recommendations of professional who would be able to provide references. Thanks Very Much

Sorry, I can't help refer anyone... but can you share your experience of using drip irrigation for your lawn (specifically)? Is it really better than a traditional sprinkler system???

I would bet some of the more sophisticated sprinkler system companies could help you with your drop irrigation. Not the down and dirty irrigation companies, but the more "professional" ones.

good luck

Drip irrigation doesn't really work for lawns, as it requires a series of water lines at ground level. I run them through my garden beds and then put mulch over them. We have everything connected to timers so stuff waters itself, which really comes in handy during summers like this one.

Yes the drip irrigation is for shrubs, trees and flowing plants. Not lawn. Thanks for any recommendations.
