What's Included in This Service?

Your irrigation project starts with a site assessment where water source, pressure, coverage zones, and plant types are evaluated. You'll review system options including spray heads, rotors, drip lines, and smart controllers that adjust watering based on weather and soil moisture. In Harrisburg, where clay soil can create runoff and heat accelerates evaporation, proper system design prevents waste and supports healthy growth.

Thornton Home & Design installs underground piping, zone valves, spray heads, and control systems using equipment suited to residential and commercial applications. Each zone is tested for coverage, pressure, and timing to ensure uniform watering. Smart controllers and rain sensors can be added to improve efficiency and reduce water bills.

Repairs address broken heads, leaking valves, wiring issues, and pressure problems that cause uneven watering or system failure. Seasonal adjustments ensure your system performs well as conditions change. Whether installing a new system or upgrading an outdated one, the focus stays on reliability, efficiency, and long-term value.

Understanding how irrigation systems are designed, installed, and maintained helps you plan for coverage, efficiency, and equipment longevity.

How Our Process Works?

How many zones does a typical residential system need?
Most homes require three to six zones depending on lawn size, plant types, and sun exposure. Zones are grouped by watering needs to prevent overwatering or underwatering.
What's the difference between spray heads and rotors?
Spray heads cover smaller areas with a fixed pattern, while rotors deliver water over larger distances using rotating streams. The choice depends on zone size and shape.
Can irrigation systems be adjusted for seasonal changes?
Yes, controllers can be programmed to adjust run times based on temperature, rainfall, and plant dormancy. Smart controllers automate this process using local weather data.
How often should irrigation systems be serviced?
Annual spring start-ups and fall winterization are recommended to check for leaks, adjust heads, and prevent freeze damage. Regular inspections in Harrisburg extend system life and improve performance.
Do irrigation systems save water compared to manual watering?
Yes, properly designed systems reduce water waste by delivering precise amounts to each zone at optimal times. Drip lines and smart controllers further improve efficiency.
