Santa Barbara Professional Landscapers At Landscape Irrigation Inspection And Repair Part 1

So, situation here is we have multiple areas, where the root system of the truth tree and the plants have clocked out the drippings meters. They’ve made their way through the emitters and clogged up the holes and they’re causing to not water and because of that blockage. It’s causing plants to stress, because they’re not receiving them either the proper amount of water. So, it’s important to replace those areas, those drip emitters and those lines, that have root systems in, we’ve cut them, replace them and another thing too. I think it’s because if you have drip lines underneath the soil, the ground. It’s easier for the roots – I mean, roots, grow in soil and dirt right. So, it’s easier for the roots, you just go and just grab on and choke and get in the drip lines, because that’s water they want. That’s what’s a point, when you install drip irrigation, it’s above the soil, surface and below a mulch layer, right in between.
So, you have the mulch protecting it from the sunlight and then, if there’s any issues, you can remove the bark away from the drip, fix it and then cover back with drip. Because if it’s underground , you got a dig in there, it’s a lot of work, a lot of labour and it’s not the right way to do it.
The entire lawn areas all working perfect, maybe, you need some more water, but everything looks good.
So, the gotta be careful, they have shallow roots above the surface and then they’re damaging the drip lines, the micro sprayers and pilot, and they’re causing leaks and clog.
These are micro spares, they tend to get clocked to over time can a good picture of that video. They tend to get clogged so it’s important to replace and clean the heads.
So one need extension, so that’s very important too. Because if you don’t have that extension, it’s gonna get blocked by the plants and it’s not gonna reach the plants. So, in one year, when the plants are small, it may have full coverage, but the second year they’re twice as the science is gonna block and the plants will be here not gonna grow and these gonna be nice and green. I the classical be like, hey what’s going on over here, well the plants grow, do you get extended the micro spheres, you can extend them or have adevelop a proper drip irrigation. So, it’s watering the entire area without any issues of anything blocking. That’s why I highly recommended drip irrigation for most plants. It all depends what type of plants and trees, but for the most part, you’re with trip.
See, the same thing over here, roots hugging up, choking the drip line, so causing leaks and no water in some areas.
Look at the flower, but they don’t smell. Jesus says, that they smell at night.
Look, you see, how aggressive the roots are. It takes two fatal records, we can see, how the roots compromise a drip. You see that, see the roots, see this coming out, it’s just choking and strangling this drip line and this one’s above the soil. But this is broken. So, this type of emitter, we no longer use them and we haven’t been using them for a few years now. Because they always get clogged. There’s a hole all the way around 360 degrees, but they always tent to get clogged and you always gotta adjust them. So, we have sense, a few years ago I have transitioned to a different type of a matter, that never gets clogged. It’s very important to pick right type of materials, right type of tool, so you have less trouble with your irrigation system, less stress, easier life, happier lifestyle and an amazing journey. Always be improving and learning, that’s what we do.
This is routine, that’s why you gotta always be checking.

So, the regression here, on this area, although, that area looks dry and here looks a lot greener. We believe that we checked it and everything works fine. So, what’s the second problem, well we got a check a look at the irrigation timer and see, how long it’s watering and how often. But more, than likely we’re all, if the irrigation is working properly, that means the irrigation timer needs to increase the water or, maybe, it’s not being activated, when it’s supposed to, maybe there’s a wire slice. We still don’t know, we’re not that far yet, but we’ll find out.
So, there’s no irrigation system here, but it’s greener. It’s probably because of the chain although, that’s on the future, but this is on the shade too. So, maybe when it rains, maybe, I don’t know. Maybe when it rain, all the water came down and pulled in here and saturated the soil and the moisture has been holding on, maybe that’s it. We don’t know yet, but we’re about 70-80% done with this, 80-90%. We’re about 80% done, so we still have a few more questions, but this job is not completed. We’re doing the walkthrough just to really understand, what’s going on, so we can guide ourselves, so we can complete the job and have a complete report for the client.
So, all hazard issues been working right, maybe needs more water.
So, this area needs water, it’s dry, there is no irrigation for these plants. These probably grew with the rain and plus the shade, but I mentioned though they’ll die off, unless it’s been had watered, unless it’s that the client does not want to hand water, we can definitely improve the irrigation system, so we can water the entire area and than they don’t have to worry about that anymore.
So, those invaders, they the flan them is great, everything is working fine.
Look at this, like a Christmas tree., nice beautiful cones.
They’re gonna look a lot better, wants to start getting water.
