FAQs About Our Lawn Sprinkler and Irrigation System Maintenance
Why should I hire a licensed contractor for my lawn sprinkler and landscaping requirements?
Hiring a licensed irrigation contractor protects your finances and ensures you and your family’s well-being. In Dade County, becoming a licensed irrigation contractor is a serious business. To operate legally, all companies and contractors must possess a Certified Irrigation Contractor License that is renewed every two years. This license (renewal) requires proof of insurance, committing to a background check, continuing education, and certification classes.
When you hire a licensed irrigation company, you can be sure you are getting the best, most skilled, and most trusted people for the job. Asking to see their irrigation contractor’s license and certificates of insurance is your best protection against fraud, shoddy workmanship, and lawsuits.
Why should I pay $49.95 for an irrigation inspection?
When you pay $49.95, you get an initial face-to-face meeting with Greenstar Irrigation’s president, Peter Masi. He is a renowned and licensed irrigation contractor who has an extensive experience of over 40 years in the landscape and irrigation industry. He takes immense pride in offering our signature 7-point irrigation system tune-up and diagnostic.
Included with your irrigation tune up and diagnostic, we will also provide a detailed proposal for your lawn sprinkler and other project requirements. Peter will gladly answer any questions that you may have.
Is Greenstar Irrigation insured?
Yes, Greenstar Irrigation is fully insured and licensed as per the county and State requirements.
Does a Sprinkler System help increase my property value?
Yes, investing in a professionally designed and installed lawn sprinkler system can do wonders for your home’s value. HGTV confirms that a well-crafted system constructed with quality parts will boost your property value. A Clemson University study even found that properties with "excellent" landscapes sold for 4% higher than those with an average landscape. So, you can get an extra $4,000 for every $100,000 worth of home value! On the other hand, a poorly designed, less-than-professional system can actually lower your property value.
When is the best time to water your yard?
The ideal time to water your yard is early morning before sunrise. This way, the excess water can evaporate as the sun is rising, and you won’t be wasting any water due to evaporation like you would if you were to water during the day. This is especially true for South Florida. Avoid watering in the late morning, as this could extend the amount of time your grass is already wet from dew, which could lead to diseases developing in shaded areas.
We generally get 40 or more inches of rainfall a year. Do we really need a lawn sprinkler system?
With the weather becoming increasingly unpredictable, the only way to ensure your lawn and landscape stay healthy and lush is to ensure your grass and plants get consistent water. So, a lawn sprinkler system is beneficial.
What type of maintenance does your lawn sprinkler system require?
A residential lawn sprinkler system needs timely preventive maintenance so that it can work at optimum efficiency. At Greenstar Irrigation, we offer budget-friendly preventative maintenance services for your lawn sprinkler system. These services will reduce overall costs as little problems are discovered before becoming significant, expensive problems. We also offer a maintenance contract.
How can I save money on my water bill?
If you want to save money on your water bill while still having a gorgeous lawn and landscape, consider upgrading to a digital sprinkler system. A digital conversion contains a digital timer, wireless rain sensor, and WiFi module. This ensures you have complete control over your system anytime you have access to WiFi. Plus, it helps avoid over or under-watering.
