Irrigation Design, Installation & Repair

Engineered irrigation systems for commercial properties — smart controllers, multi-zone networks, drip and spray combinations — designed and self-installed to meet Colorado water regulations and municipal backflow requirements.

Commercial irrigation failures after substantial completion become a warranty and maintenance liability for the owner and a callback liability for the GC. Systems designed without proper zoning for sun/shade variation and slope routinely fail inspection or underperform within the first season.

• Designed to pass municipal backflow and cross-connection inspection on the first submission
• Smart controller systems reduce water budget line items for the owner long-term
• Zone design accounts for microclimates across the site to prevent dead zones
• As-built documentation provided for facilities management handoff

We recommend irrigation design be finalized alongside landscape architect plans, not as a late-stage value-engineering item — retrofitting zones after planting plans are locked typically increases cost.

Engineered drainage systems for commercial sites — French drains, retention and detention basins, swales, and stormwater conveyance — sized and built to municipal stormwater management requirements.

Improperly engineered site drainage is a recurring source of post-construction liability — standing water, foundation intrusion, and erosion complaints that surface after the GC and civil engineer have demobilized. Stormwater non-compliance can also trigger municipal fines for the owner.

• Sized to municipal stormwater management requirements to pass final inspection
• Reduces post-completion warranty calls related to standing water or erosion
• Coordinated with civil engineering to avoid conflicts with underground utilities
• Long-term reduction in landscape maintenance issues caused by poor drainage

We recommend a drainage and grading review during civil plan development — addressing routing conflicts before grading begins is significantly less expensive than remediation after hardscape and planting are complete.
