10 Years of Excellence in Landscaping
Expert Water Management Solutions for Healthy, Efficient Landscapes
In Arizona's desert climate, proper irrigation is absolutely essential for maintaining healthy, attractive landscapes. Without adequate water delivered efficiently and consistently, even the most carefully designed landscape will struggle and fail. At Smiley's Landscaping LLC, we specialize in comprehensive irrigation services that keep your sprinkler and drip systems operating at peak efficiency, ensuring your plants receive the water they need while minimizing waste and controlling costs. With 10 years of hands-on experience working with irrigation systems in the challenging Arizona environment, we have the expertise to handle any irrigation need from simple repairs to complex system installations.
Modern irrigation systems are sophisticated combinations of controllers, valves, pipes, sprinklers, emitters, and sensors that must work together flawlessly to deliver the right amount of water to every area of your landscape. When these systems malfunction, the results can be costly including dead plants from inadequate watering, flooded areas from broken lines or stuck valves, wasted water from inefficient coverage or leaks, and high water bills that strain budgets. Our professional irrigation services prevent these problems through proactive maintenance and provide rapid solutions when issues occur.
Water is precious in Arizona, and using it efficiently is both an environmental responsibility and a financial necessity. Our irrigation services focus not just on keeping systems running, but on optimizing their performance to deliver water where and when it's needed most efficiently. Through careful system analysis, strategic adjustments, and modern water-saving technologies, we help our clients maintain beautiful landscapes while minimizing water consumption and costs. Whether you're dealing with an old system that needs upgrading or want to ensure your newer system operates at peak efficiency, Smiley's Landscaping LLC delivers the expertise you need.
Sprinkler systems inevitably experience problems due to normal wear, damage from lawn equipment, freezing temperatures, or component failures. Common issues include broken sprinkler heads that waste water and create messy puddles, leaking pipes that undermine pavement and waste water, stuck valves that cause zones to run continuously or not at all, malfunctioning controllers that disrupt watering schedules, and low water pressure that results in inadequate coverage. Our sprinkler repair service quickly diagnoses and fixes these problems, restoring proper system operation and efficient water delivery.
We maintain a comprehensive inventory of common sprinkler system components, allowing us to complete most repairs in a single visit. Our technicians are experienced with all major brands of sprinklers, valves, and controllers, and we stay current with the latest products and technologies. When we repair your system, we don't just fix the immediate problem - we check the entire system for additional issues that could cause future problems, providing you with a complete assessment and recommendations for any necessary additional work.
Drip irrigation delivers water directly to plant roots with minimal evaporation, making it the most efficient irrigation method available. Drip systems are ideal for trees, shrubs, flower beds, vegetable gardens, and areas where sprinkler coverage is difficult. Our drip irrigation service includes new system design and installation customized to your specific plants and landscape, conversion of existing sprinkler zones to more efficient drip systems, repair of damaged drip lines and emitters, and optimization of existing drip systems for better performance.
Proper drip irrigation design requires understanding of plant water needs, soil types, sun exposure, and slope. We design systems that deliver appropriate water volumes to each plant, compensating for differences in water requirements, size, and location. Our installations use quality components designed for long service life and include proper filtration to prevent emitter clogging. We also provide clear instructions for operating and maintaining your drip system to ensure long-term success.
Sometimes irrigation systems don't work quite right, but the problem isn't obvious. Plants in certain areas struggle while others thrive. Water bills seem too high. The system runs but coverage seems inadequate. Our comprehensive system diagnostics service identifies hidden problems through systematic testing of every component including controller programming verification, valve operation checks, sprinkler head inspection and adjustment, pressure testing to identify restrictions or leaks, coverage analysis to identify dry spots or overwatered areas, and efficiency assessment with recommendations for improvements.
This thorough diagnostic process reveals the true condition of your irrigation system and identifies both current problems and potential future issues. We provide a detailed report explaining what we found, which problems need immediate attention, what can wait, and estimated costs for recommended repairs or improvements. This information empowers you to make informed decisions about your irrigation system maintenance and upgrades.
Irrigation controllers are the brains of your watering system, but many are programmed incorrectly or never adjusted seasonally, resulting in overwatering in cool months and underwatering during hot summers. Our controller programming service includes setup of appropriate watering schedules based on plant types, sun exposure, soil, and season, configuration of start times to avoid runoff and comply with local restrictions, seasonal adjustment of watering durations and frequencies, programming of advanced features like cycle-and-soak to improve water penetration, and training so you can make simple adjustments yourself.
Modern irrigation controllers offer sophisticated features that can dramatically improve efficiency, but these features are useless if not properly programmed. We take time to understand your landscape's specific needs and program controllers to deliver optimal watering. We also explain how the controller works and show you how to make common adjustments, putting you in control of your irrigation system while ensuring it operates efficiently.
Underground leaks are particularly problematic because they're hard to detect but cause significant water waste and potential property damage. Signs of irrigation leaks include unusually high water bills, constantly wet areas or puddles, areas where grass grows much faster and greener, sinking or settling pavement or patios, and water running from the system even when it should be off. Our leak detection service uses systematic testing and inspection to locate leaks, followed by professional repair that solves the problem completely.
We use various techniques to locate leaks including pressure testing isolated zones, careful inspection of wet areas, listening for water sounds, and systematic valve checks. Once we locate the leak, we excavate carefully to minimize landscape disturbance, repair or replace the damaged components, test the repair thoroughly, and restore the area as closely as possible to its original condition. Quick leak repairs prevent ongoing water waste and limit damage to your property.
Older irrigation systems often waste significant amounts of water through inefficient sprinkler heads, poor coverage design, outdated controllers, and lack of rain sensors or soil moisture detection. Our water efficiency upgrade service transforms wasteful systems into efficient ones through replacement of old sprinkler heads with modern high-efficiency models, installation of matched precipitation rate heads for even watering, addition of pressure regulation to prevent misting and waste, installation of smart controllers that adjust for weather and season, and incorporation of rain sensors or soil moisture sensors that prevent unnecessary watering.
These upgrades can reduce water consumption by 30-50% while actually improving landscape health through more appropriate watering. The water savings often pay for the upgrade costs within a few years, and the improved landscape health is immediately apparent. We analyze your current system, identify the most cost-effective improvements, and provide clear return-on-investment information so you can make informed decisions about upgrades.
Preventive maintenance is the best way to avoid costly repairs and ensure reliable system operation throughout the year. Our seasonal irrigation maintenance service includes comprehensive spring startup with full system testing, summer inspection to ensure performance during peak demand, fall adjustment to reduce watering as temperatures cool, and winter preparation to protect against freeze damage. Regular maintenance catches small problems before they become major failures and keeps your system operating at peak efficiency.
During each seasonal service visit, we systematically inspect and test every component of your irrigation system. We adjust sprinkler heads for proper coverage, check valves for leaks or malfunctions, verify controller operation, test system pressure, and look for any signs of developing problems. We also adjust watering schedules appropriately for the season, ensuring your landscape receives optimal irrigation year-round. This proactive approach prevents problems, extends system life, and maintains efficiency.
Whether you're building a new landscape or replacing a failed system, professional installation is essential for long-term performance and efficiency. Our complete irrigation installation service includes detailed design based on your landscape's specific needs, selection of appropriate components for reliability and efficiency, professional installation following industry best practices, thorough testing of every zone and component, controller programming for optimal watering, and complete instruction on system operation and maintenance.
We design irrigation systems considering plant water requirements, sun exposure, soil type, slope, water pressure, and budget constraints. Our installations use quality components designed for Arizona's challenging conditions including intense heat, mineral-laden water, and occasional freezing temperatures. We take pride in clean, professional installations with proper depth, routing, and protection of all components. The result is a reliable, efficient system that will serve your landscape for many years with minimal maintenance.
Ten years of working with irrigation systems in Arizona has taught us invaluable lessons about what works in our unique environment. We understand the challenges of hard water that clogs emitters, extreme heat that degrades plastics and seals, mineral deposits that interfere with valve operation, and occasional freezing temperatures that can damage exposed components. This experience translates into better system designs, more effective repairs, and irrigation solutions that work reliably in Arizona conditions.
