FREQUENTLY ASKED LANDSCAPING AND IRRIGATION QUESTIONS IN FORT COLLINS

Generally speaking, irrigation services refer to the installation, maintenance, or repair of any sprinkler system, drip irrigation system, or any other type of irrigation system. At Bath Landscape & Irrigation, our Residential Irrigation Services include the installation of new irrigation systems and the servicing of any warranty issues that may arrive. We do not provide maintenance or general sprinkler system repairs for individual residences at this time. Our Commercial Irrigation department, however, does provide full sprinkler system installation, maintenance, and repairs. What that means is that if your business, HOA, apartment complex, or government establishment has a contract with our Commercial Irrigation department, we will provide seasonal maintenance such as sprinkler system blow-outs and turn-ons, will service any broken or damaged irrigation systems, and will design and install new irrigation systems. If you would like to learn more about the irrigation services we do and do not provide, or the differences between the sprinkler system services we provide for Residential and Commercial establishments, visit our Irrigation Services page!

Our Residential Irrigation Services include the design and installation of new irrigation systems and any warranty issues that may arise.

Our Commercial Irrigation Services are contracted services provided to businesses, government establishments, homeowners associations, apartment complexes, and the like.

The cost of irrigation services depends entirely on the scale and scope of the project. All repairs and maintenance are contracted services provided to commercial establishments and are priced differently per contract based on the size of the property and the services included in the contract. All new system design and installation services provided for commercial or residential properties are also priced based on the size and complexity of the system.

Issues with irrigation systems are never quite as simple or straightforward as they may seem initially. Since the majority of sprinkler systems are primarily underground, something that may seem like a quick and easy do-it-yourself fix can quickly turn into a much larger ordeal that is likely outside of your capacity. This is why it is best to hire trained professionals to do the work for you. Irrigation technicians will have the training and experience to diagnose the issue correctly and get the job done well. They will also have access to the equipment necessary to make repairs or adjustments to your sprinkler system. Professional irrigation services will also have the time to be able to perform regular maintenance and checkups on your irrigation system, which can greatly decrease the likelihood of costly issues arising in the future. Trying to fix an irrigation system yourself can easily lead to more damage being caused to your system or issues not being fixed fully or properly. So, if you are experiencing issues with your sprinkler system, trust the professionals in the industry!

Since most sprinkler system maintenance, repairs, or installations require digging into the ground, it is best to get irrigation services done in the warm months or when nighttime temperatures are consistently above 40 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that the ground is soft enough to penetrate. It is nearly impossible to provide sprinkler system services during the cold months as sprinkler systems in Colorado should be winterized and shut off for the season as soon as freezing temperatures begin to settle in. Any water left in your irrigation system throughout the winter season will freeze and cause significant damage which will then have to be addressed the following spring.

You can also fill out a contact form to get in touch with one of our department managers.

This depends entirely on the irrigation service being provided. If you are a private residence getting a new sprinkler system installed, this could take around a week depending on the size and scope of the project. If you are a commercial establishment that has a contract with us and are having seasonal maintenance done, this usually only takes around an hour based on the size of the property being serviced. Some sprinkler system repairs can take an hour or more to complete depending on the complexity of the repair and the extent of the damage that exists. Every situation is unique, so it is impossible to know exactly how long an irrigation service will take. We will always do our best to provide an estimate for the work being done, however, please note that these estimates are not exact and are subject to change!

We take care of everything down to the smallest details in a way that is the least intrusive to you, still allows you to use your space as much as possible, and doesn't bother or annoy your neighbors.

The cost of landscaping is not a cut-and-dry number since all landscape projects vary greatly in scope and scale. Different materials and landscape features have different costs associated with them as well, which further skews any ability to provide a general range or estimate. However, our team will work closely with you to define a project budget while also making every effort to achieve your desired goals for your space. We can say that we generally do not take on projects less than $5,000. While there are exceptions, our landscape crews and equipment are set up specifically to be able to take on large-scale landscape projects, and the sheer effort that it takes to mobilize our crews and equipment makes it difficult to justify taking on projects less than this amount.

Our landscape designers will then review your inquiry and reach out to start initial discussions. We will work closely with you to design a plan for your landscaping, will come up with a proposed budget, and revise the plan until we have an end result that you are satisfied with. We will then work to schedule a start date for your project and provide you with an estimated timeframe for the project. Our team of landscapers will arrive at your home on the scheduled start date to begin work. They will keep you informed throughout the entire process, are happy to answer any questions, and it is not uncommon for our landscape designers to visit your property to ensure your satisfaction and check in with how the project is coming along.

How long a landscaping project will take to complete depends entirely on the size and scope of the project. Weather can also play a part in how long a project will take to complete. In general, most projects can be completed within a week or two, however there are always exceptions to this. Once you begin working on your project with one of our landscape designers, they will be able to set general expectations for how long your project will take to complete.

Since landscaping services are generally at the mercy of the weather, landscaping services are best done during the summer or fall when weather is most predictable. That being said though, we do live in Colorado and the weather can be hard to predict during any season. Generally, the only times we are not able to work is when it is raining or during the winter when the ground is frozen. We will always do everything we can to complete your project within the estimated timeframe, however sometimes there may be delays due to inclement weather. If you are considering having work done on your landscaping or have a project in mind, we recommend reaching out to us sooner than later! We take new projects on a first come first serve basis, and depending on our workload, some projects could take weeks if not months to finalize and get scheduled. It is rare that we are able to get plans designed and a project date set immediately. So, if you want your project completed in early spring, we recommend reaching out as early as January so that you can get on our schedule before the busy season sets in.
