Miller Irrigation & Landscape Lighting FAQ

Irrigation ensures your lawn and plants receive the right amount of water to thrive. Without it, your landscaping may suffer from inconsistent watering, leading to patchy grass, unhealthy plants, and wasted water. A well-designed system keeps your property lush and vibrant while conserving water and reducing manual effort.

Common issues include clogged sprinkler heads, broken pipes, or programming errors in your control system. Our team can quickly diagnose the problem and restore your system’s functionality, ensuring your lawn stays healthy and hydrated.

Drip irrigation delivers water directly to the root zones of your plants using a network of tubes and emitters. This system is highly efficient, reducing water waste and promoting healthier plant growth. It’s ideal for garden beds, shrubs, and areas with water restrictions.

Irrigation specialists use tools like trenchers, pipe cutters, and diagnostic equipment to install and maintain systems. Precision tools ensure accurate installations and repairs, protecting your property’s value and appearance.

Run times vary based on your soil type, plant needs, and climate. Generally, 20-30 minutes per zone is a good starting point. We can help you customize your system’s schedule for optimal efficiency and plant health.

To adjust a sprinkler head, locate the adjustment screw on top and use a screwdriver to change the spray direction or distance. Regular adjustments keep your irrigation system efficient and ensure water reaches the right areas.

To turn on your system, open the main water supply valve slowly to prevent damage from a sudden surge. Then, check your control panel settings and test each zone to ensure everything works properly. Our team can guide you through this process or handle it for you.

Improving drainage often involves installing French drains, grading your yard, or using downspout extensions. Addressing drainage issues prevents water damage and keeps your outdoor spaces safe and functional.
