Once the customer has reviewed the submitted
estimate and a 50 % job deposit is received
to schedule and confirm the installation.
Dig safe is called to mark and identify
any utilities, cable, phone, gas, and electric
lines. Any installed underground wiring
for lighting, invisible dog fencing, underground
pool lines and any other owner / builder
installed items must all be clearly marked
and identified by the homeowner to prevent
any damage during installation.
Our plumber will then install the backflow
and all necessary plumbing lines as specified
by state and local codes. We handle and
pull all necessary plumbing permits. System
lines and piping is then laid into the ground
along with necessary irrigation rotary heads
and mist heads for planting beds or small
lawn areas. Zone valves and valve housings
are installed, master clock / controller
is then installed in the basement or a suitable
alternative location and wired to zone valves
with an accompanying rain sensor.
The entire installation process should
take approximately one full day from start
to finish barring any unforeseen circumstances
such as buried rock ledge or other buried
material not visible. The only maintenance
that will be required for the system is
in the spring and late fall. In the spring
we will be turning on the water supply lines,
programming the clock / controller, inspecting
the system, fittings, and ensuring the system
is functioning properly. In the fall the
water supply lines are closed and any water
within the system is drained and compressed
air is used to blow out any residual water.
This will prevent any water from freezing
in the lines. Service prices vary with each
system and size and will be outlined in
your estimate.
Our ESP Rain Bird controller clocks and
new Hunter Ultra IP- 20 rotary heads are
warranted for 5 years. The rest of your
irrigation system will be warranted for
3 years. This warranty covers all irrigation
system parts from the point of water connection
to all moving and non-moving parts, and
all related electrical wiring and labor
from any defects in materials or workmanship.
All warranties apply provided that only
Tompkins Landscape and Irrigation maintains
the system. Should any other contractor,
company, or person (s) tamper with or attempt
to service the system in any way this is
cause for termination of warranty.
We must strictly enforce this due to the
vast majority of so-called landscaping and
irrigation companies in this area who are
not qualified or certified to install or
service irrigation systems. Not to mention
many companies are not even carrying company
liability or worker compensation policies
on their workers, shielding the home owner
from the possibility of being held liable
should a worker be injured on the respective
home owners property. (Always ask for certification)
For some customers that are on town water
and town sewerage you have the additional
option of having a deduct meter installed
(some towns refer to this as a by-pass meter).
The meter measures the amount of water used
by the irrigation system and is either credited
to your respective home's water bill or
deducted from your sewerage bill.
The only requirement for the home owner
is going to your local towns water dept.
as some towns require home owners to pay
either a fee or deposit for the respective
meter and installation, the current fee
averages between $ 70.00- $ 100.00. Your
particular towns water department will then
schedule a time for them to install and
wire the meter.
The scheduling for the installation of
the meter normally occurs within 3-5 business
days. In the meantime your system will still
function normally and no adjustments will
be necessary after the meter is installed.
