Drip Irrigation delivers water exactly where you need it without waste, saving money and the environment.
Using drip irrigation is the best way to control the exact flow and quantity of water delivered to plants, shrubs, and trees. While there are many options for drip irrigation products, we typically recommend subterranean tubing and quality fittings from reputable vendors like Netafim and Rainbird. While Drip Irrigation can be a standalone system, typically it is a portion of a completed irrigation job which includes standard Schedule-40 PVC pipe and fittings, and an Irrigation Timer. Due to the heat and severe drought in places like Los Angeles, California, drip irrigation has become a staple in most residential and light commercial irrigation installations.
Here are 4 of our many essential drip irrigation products:
Rain Bird XFSCV Subterranean Drip Tubing
Through the use of their proprietary tubing material and low-profile emitter design rainbird’s XFSCV Subterranean Drip Tubing is one of the easiest drip lines to install. Further, inside the lining of the XFSCV Drip tubing are check valves at each emitter which keep the tubing filled with water eliminating the need to recharge.
