Drip Irrigation for Healthier Plants
Water delivered right to the roots — less waste, fewer weeds, and no overspray on walls or walkways.
Drip Irrigation Installation
Drip irrigation delivers water slowly and directly to the root zone of shrubs, flowers, trees, garden beds and planters. Instead of spraying a whole area, it puts water exactly where plants use it.
That precision is why drip is one of the most water-efficient ways to irrigate in Utah. Less water evaporates, less soaks bare soil where weeds sprout, and nothing ends up on siding, fences or walkways.
A drip zone includes a pressure regulator and filter to protect the system, a valve, drip line or tubing, and emitters sized for each plant. Paired with a smart controller, it can run on schedules that suit beds and trees rather than lawn.
Drip works for foundation plantings, mulch and rock beds, tree rings, raised garden beds and pots. It can be part of a new installation or added to an existing yard by converting spray zones that are currently watering beds.
We lay drip lines neatly and keep them low-visibility under mulch or rock, with emitters placed to grow with the plants.
Drip is one part of a complete yard watering plan — see Irrigation System Installation for how it fits with lawn sprinklers.
Our Drip Irrigation Installation Process
Our drip installation process.
Walkthrough and zone planning
We look at plant types, soil, sun and slope plus your existing irrigation, then plan zones, emitter spacing, pressure regulation and valve layout.
Installation and setup
We install the valve, filter, regulator, tubing and emitters with a tidy, low-visibility layout and program the controller.
Testing and walkthrough
We pressure-test, check flow in each zone, tune emitters, and show you what to check through the season.
Drip Irrigation Installation FAQs
Questions about drip irrigation.
What is drip irrigation, and why choose it?
It’s a low-flow system that waters each plant at its roots. It uses less water than spray, keeps foliage and hardscape dry, and reduces weeds between plants.
Will it work with my existing landscape?
Usually, yes. Drip can be added to established beds, and existing spray zones that water beds can often be converted.
How long does installation take?
Most residential drip zones take a day or less; larger projects with several zones take longer.
Does drip need much maintenance?
Very little — clean the filter periodically, check emitters at the start of each season and add emitters as plants grow. Drip zones should be drained before winter.
Is drip irrigation worth the cost?
For beds, shrubs and trees it typically pays off through healthier plants, fewer losses and lower water use. We’ll show you where it makes sense in your yard.
Why choose Exact Landscapes for drip irrigation?
