Despite all of the challenges, an opportunity has arisen for contractors. Irrigation system repair and upgrades.
?EUR??,,????'?????<?Our sprinkler repair business has been inundated; we haven?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?t been able to keep up,?EUR??,,????'?????<? said Bert Blair of Yellow Rose Landscape Services. ?EUR??,,????'?????<?Everybody has been having irrigation system problems this summer, and there aren?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?t enough licensed contractors to do the work.?EUR??,,????'?????<?
Austin-based Clean Scapes have been busy responding to irrigation emergencies all summer long. The extreme heat has caused the ground to shift?EUR??,,????'?????<??oeand that has resulted in numerous broken irrigation lines.
?EUR??,,????'?????<?Wildlife has also been a factor, specifically with drip irrigation,?EUR??,,????'?????<? adds Clean Scapes president, Ivan Giraldo. ?EUR??,,????'?????<?Animals such as squirrels and rats are turning to these drip lines as a water source, and are chewing through many of the hoses.?EUR??,,????'?????<?
Ben Collinsworth of Native Land Design says his employees have been paying more attention to the efficiency of their irrigation systems. ?EUR??,,????'?????<?With the limited water windows we have in many markets, if a system isn?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?t operating at peak performance, we are exponentially losing water to our plant material and grass,?EUR??,,????'?????<? Collinsworth points out.
