Irrigation Installation & Water Management
Irrigation installation and water management are critical parts of keeping your campus or facility looking lush and well-maintained while also ensuring your facility maintenance budgets are in check. ICON works with customers to install, maintain, and manage commercial irrigation systems at their facilities. Commercial irrigation systems offer the capability to water landscapes and plants efficiently and effectively, resulting in pristine maintenance. ICON’s certified irrigation technicians and comprehensive irrigation services are performed throughout the season to maximize efficiency and system coverage. We look forward to planning, installing, and maintaining commercial irrigation systems and water features increasing the aesthetic and value of your commercial property.
Design + Installation
Do you need assistance in designing and installing an irrigation system on your property? The ICON team comprises highly trained irrigation experts who ensure that your newly installed system operates efficiently and seamlessly. Hiring a commercial irrigation professional for the installation and maintenance of your system offers numerous benefits, ensuring the job is done correctly and preventing costly and invasive issues in the future. Commercial systems are designed to handle larger areas and higher water flow compared to traditional residential systems. To accommodate such landscapes, commercial irrigation systems are equipped with larger pipes, heavy-duty sprinkler heads, and other components capable of managing increased water flow.
What are the benefits of a commercial irrigation system?
Promotes a professional and well-maintained commercial appearance.
Ensures the health and vitality of plants, trees, shrubs, grass, and turf.
Enables water conservation by eliminating overwatering.
System Repair + Maintenance
Commercial sprinkler irrigation systems are known for their low maintenance requirements and cost-effective results. However, achieving optimal performance depends on correct installation and regular maintenance. It’s important to remember that commercial-grade systems involve higher volumes of water and operate at greater pressures than traditional residential systems. Over time, heavily used irrigation systems may require repairs. ICON customers greatly benefit from our team’s expertise in installing, maintaining, and providing repairs for their commercial irrigation systems.
For new ICON customers with already established commercial irrigation systems, we first verify that there is no damage to the commercial irrigation system by conducting a full-service inspection. We thoroughly examine the nozzles, valves, sprinklers, and water pipes to identify any damage that could potentially lead to severe landscape drainage problems if left undiscovered. It is crucial to perform a comprehensive check of all components related to your irrigation system to promptly address any existing issues and ensure proper maintenance moving forward.
Seasonal Irrigation Management
Seasonal Irrigation Management is essential for a commercial lawn and landscape that is both beautiful and cost-efficient year-round. ICON promotes and implements water conservation practices that are tailored to each of our client’s goals while considering local municipality regulations and adherence to safe practices for commercial businesses, the campus, and facilities. Kicking off the season with spring irrigation start-up and closing it out for fall irrigation winterization, the season transitions are just important as the seasons themselves. The ICON team of trusted commercial landscape professionals is here to assist you year-round with your commercial irrigation needs.
When the ground begins to thaw in spring, it is essential to have the ICON team perform a spring activation to kickstart the warmer days to come. Conducting a performance check on your sprinkler system in spring ensures protection from any damage that may have occurred during the cold winter months, such as breaks and leaks caused by ice. Our trained technicians meticulously test every zone and sprinkler head to ensure they are operating at full capacity, allowing for efficient water supply management and reduced water bills.
Spring commercial irrigation activation service includes:
Equipment check on all sprinkler heads, filters, valves, operating pressure, wiring, and more
Testing spray zone accuracy and efficiency
Conducting a system mainline pressure test
As temperatures drop, it is crucial to have your commercial irrigation system winterized by experienced professionals. In the Midwest, as the weather becomes cooler, low temperatures, heavy snowfall, and ice storms can take a toll on landscapes and irrigation systems. During winter, water can freeze, expand, and cause cracks in sprinkler heads, valves, and connecting pipes. To avoid these problems, ICON ensures that all irrigation systems have their water supply drained, shut off, and prepared for the spring.
Efficient Water Conservation
Efficient water conservation is not only important to ICON clients, but ICON too. ICON knows that it’s important to ensure that plants, lawns, and trees get the water they need, without wasting water and driving up the water bills for our clients. Our commercial irrigation team is trained on water-efficient landscaping methods that promote a beautiful commercial landscape that is both cost and energy efficient.
The ICON Commitment to Efficient Water Conservation:
With the data collected, we are able to confirm systems are working as designed and identify opportunities to improve water-use efficiency. This allows us to develop irrigation schedules based on water requirements, quality and availability.
If your commercial irrigation system is out of date, the most cost-efficient means in the long run for your property is to upgrade. With a new, advanced system, you can achieve more water-efficient landscaping by automating the system to water on a specific schedule and adapt to weather conditions. For example, a smart system won’t switch on if it has been raining. At ICON, we work with our commercial landscape customers to estimate potential dollar and water savings from implementing innovative irrigation technologies, products and practices.
Our team works closely with local municipalities to ensure proper measures are taken to promote water conservation methods.
