Are you tired of moving sprinklers and hoses to create the beautiful lawn you’ve always wanted? Or have you noticed dirty water coming from your existing lawn sprinkler heads? Irrigation system troubles like small holes suddenly appearing in your lawn, sunken turf, bright green patches of grass, fungus, or low sprinkler pressure can destroy your grass and landscaping, too. 

Although Shreveport is not known for bitterly cold weather, temperatures of freezing or below do occur each winter an average of 39 days during the year. Freezing weather for more than a few hours can result in severe problems for your irrigation system. The system's backflow device is installed above ground so it’s critical you properly winterize your system to avoid expensive repairs or contaminating your home’s water supply.

Don’t allow water--or the lack of it--to destroy your lawn. Call Johnson Irrigation and Outdoor Lighting in Shreveport to tackle the problem!

Surface Irrigation

The surface of the land is reshaped to direct water to gardens, usually from higher to lower ground. It’s efficient and uses no expensive materials, but it is labor-intensive to set up. 

Sprinkler Irrigation

The sprinklers are above-ground and are fed by above-ground or underground pipes or hoses. Water sprays from the sprinkler heads onto plants in the surrounding area. Electric valves can be installed to automatically turn the system on and off at specific watering times during the day. These systems are common but a lot of the water evaporates before doing its job of sufficiently watering plants.

Drip Irrigation

Above-ground tubing is laid that delivers water to plants through tiny emitters or ¼ hoses. Unlike sprinkler irrigation systems, not much water is lost through evaporation in drip irrigation. However, the system does need frequent maintenance due to emitters becoming clogged. 

Johnson Irrigation and Outdoor Lighting will help you decide which system is best for your specific irrigation needs. Our professionals will install and then maintain it once the system is in place.
