Habitats
by Harper is a State of Texas licenced Designer/Installer of
irrigation systems. We strongly believe that a custom plan should
be drawn so that the water sprinkler system will match the landscape,
pool, patio, etc. Any Irrigation company can come in
and cover the ground with water. Later as Landscaping,
a pool, deck, walk ways, and plants are added there may be significant
problems with large rotors firing into delicate plants, knocking
the leaves off, flooding plants that don't like a lot of water and
so on. There is a small charge to have a plan drawn
which is deducted from any work. In the long run, the additional
planning will pay for itself many times over as the landscape, pool
package, deck, etc. proceed.
Also, we see many homeowners that lose entire front or back yard
systems because they never purchased an accurate irrigation plan
from their installer. When utilities come through on
their easements, or a pool company comes in and build a pool nobody
knows where the pipes, control cables, valves, are located.
Sure everyone wants a free bid, and a cheap price. A lot of our
competitors use such poor quality parts that they don't want to
spend much time comparing gear. Also, many competitors
know they can't draw a plan for free because they can't make the
sale in one trip to the clients home. They'll have to
return with the plan on a second trip. This process
takes Habitats by Harper about 8-10 hours and thus most Irrigation
companies simply won't bother with drawing a plan.
It would surprise most people to know that good systems cost only
a few hundred dollars (not thousands) more than much more inferior
systems. Along with the plan a presentation should be
done to teach the customer the difference in the parts, coverage,
and the way the irrigation system is installed in the ground.
This would include depth of trenches, hand digging which is much
safer, the placing of grass on hand and knee to cover the trenches
and so on. The small amount of extra dollars in planning
and materials will allow us to use the parts we know to be durable
and to take the extra labor to do the job right! There's
no substitute for quality and value. Water sprinklers
save a lot of time. Also the systems put the right amount
of water at the right place and at the right time thus saving water.
