The lawn browns out by August, and the hose never reaches the back beds. Sprinkler system installation puts that watering on a timer. Green Tree Landscape and Maintenance installs new automatic sprinkler systems for lawns and drip lines for planting beds. Each system runs from a controller and starts at the backflow assembly Oregon requires.
Green Tree is a landscaping company in Tualatin. We work across the south and west side of the Portland metro. A new system can go in on its own or as part of a full yard makeover. We look at the yard and put the quote in writing.

Sun, shade, slope and soil all change how much water each part of a yard needs. So the plan splits the yard into zones by water need. A sunny lawn and a shaded bed get separate zones and separate schedules. Each zone has its own valve, so the controller can run it separately.
Clay soil is common across the Portland metro, and it takes in water slowly. Standard spray heads can put water down faster than clay absorbs it, and the extra runs off. Rotating nozzles put water down in bigger drops at a slower rate. On a lawn over clay, more of that water soaks in.
Before any trench is dug, Oregon law requires notice to Oregon 811. The notice goes in at least two business days ahead, so the utilities can mark their buried lines first.
A backflow assembly keeps sprinkler water from flowing back into your drinking water. Water in the lines can pick up fertilizer and other yard chemicals. If pressure in the water main drops, say during a main break, that water can be pulled backward. The City of Tualatin's own example is a sprinkler head that sits in a puddle.
Oregon rules require a backflow assembly on every permanent sprinkler system. Every system we install starts at one. Portland and Tualatin both require a plumbing permit to install the backflow assembly on a new system. The permit question is settled before work starts.
The Portland Water Bureau suggests about one inch of water a week for a lawn, more in long hot spells. Tualatin belongs to the Regional Water Providers Consortium, which puts out a Weekly Watering Number by ZIP code. The number is the inches of water a lawn needs that week, and it runs through mid-October. Once shrubs and perennials take root, they need about half of it.
Each fall, before freezing weather, the water comes out of the lines and the system is shut off. The backflow assembly is drained too, then wrapped in insulation. In spring, the lines are refilled slowly and each zone runs to check for winter damage.
Every new system ends with a startup, when we run each zone and aim each head. After that, we offer repairs and seasonal service to customers on our year-round maintenance program.

The base under a paver patio is compacted in layers before the first paver goes down. Retaining walls get drainage gravel and pipe behind them. We install the backflow assembly the code requires on every new sprinkler system.

Carlos and team did a great job on our new paver patio and pathway. Communication was excellent and responses were quick. He shared examples of options and asked questions along the way to make sure we were getting what we wanted. We'll use them again for future projects without hesitation.
We had a great experience working with Carlos and his team. Carlos was professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire project. His pricing was very reasonable, and I really appreciated his attention to detail. He took the time to make sure the grading and sod installation were done correctly rather than rushing through the job. It’s clear Carlos takes pride in his work and cares about doing things well. We would absolutely hire him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for landscaping or yard work.
He was very good. Review our system and did an upgrade. Checked all sprayer heads and adjusted as needed. He was very professional and efficient. Great job. Would recommend he to anyone who has a sprinkler issue.
