Irrigation & Sprinkler Systems
Keep your landscape healthy and thriving with efficient irrigation systems designed for Maryland weather.
Water Smarter, Not Harder
Dragging hoses around your yard wastes time, water, and money. Plus, hand watering rarely provides the consistent coverage your landscape needs to truly thrive. A professional irrigation system delivers the right amount of water to each area of your property automatically, keeping your lawn, gardens, and plants healthy while reducing your water bill.
At EarthWorks Dundalk Landscaping, we design custom irrigation systems tailored to your property layout, plant types, and soil conditions. Whether you need a complete system for your entire yard or targeted watering for specific garden beds, we create efficient solutions that save you time and help your landscape investment flourish year after year.
Types of Irrigation Systems We Install
Different areas of your property need different watering approaches. We combine multiple irrigation methods to create the most efficient system for your specific needs.
- Spray Sprinkler Heads: Perfect for lawn areas, providing even coverage across open spaces
- Rotor Heads: Cover larger lawn areas with rotating streams that reach 15 to 50 feet
- Drip Irrigation: Delivers water directly to plant roots in garden beds, reducing waste and preventing disease
- Bubblers: Ideal for trees and large shrubs that need deep watering
- Soaker Hoses: Budget-friendly option for vegetable gardens and foundation plantings
We assess your property during a site visit and recommend the best combination of irrigation methods. Most systems use multiple head types in different zones to match each area specific needs.
Smart Controllers Save Water and Money
Modern irrigation controllers do more than turn your system on and off. Smart controllers adjust watering schedules based on weather conditions, soil moisture, and seasonal changes. They skip watering when rain is forecast and increase watering during hot, dry periods automatically.
These controllers connect to your WiFi, letting you adjust settings from your phone whether you are home or away. Forgot to turn off the system before leaving for vacation? No problem. Change the schedule with a tap on your phone. Many Dundalk homeowners see 20 to 50 percent water savings compared to traditional timers.
We install and program smart controllers as part of new systems or as upgrades to existing irrigation. The water savings typically pay for the controller upgrade within two to three years.
How We Design Your System
Proper irrigation design requires understanding your water pressure, property layout, sun exposure, soil type, and plant water needs. We measure your property and map out hydrozones, which are areas with similar watering requirements.
Zone Planning
Full sun lawn areas need different watering than shady garden beds. We create separate zones so each area gets appropriate water volume and frequency. This prevents overwatering in some spots while others stay too dry.
Water Pressure and Flow
We test your water pressure and calculate flow rates to ensure proper head placement and zone sizing. Too many heads on one zone means weak pressure and poor coverage. We design systems that work efficiently within your water supply capacity.
Professional Installation
We trench lines, install pipes and heads, connect to your water source, and test every zone for coverage. Trenches are carefully backfilled and lawn areas repaired. You are left with a fully functional system and minimal disruption to your existing landscape.
Maryland Weather and Your Watering Needs
Dundalk experiences variable rainfall throughout the growing season. Spring often brings adequate rain, but summer frequently includes weeks of hot, dry weather that stresses lawns and plants. Without supplemental watering, newly installed landscapes struggle to establish and mature plants suffer visible damage.
Proper irrigation protects your investment in professional landscaping and new sod installation. Consistent watering promotes deep root growth, helps plants withstand heat stress, and maintains the lush, green appearance you want from your property.
