"Chris and his crew were great to work with. I had a wood fence put up on the right side of my yard and an alluminum fence put up in the front of my house with 2 gates and a driveway gate. Both fences are beautiful. The work is high quality and I am 100% satisfied with the outcome. My neighbor had a vinyl fence put up by another company and they left a gap where my back neighbor's dogs could get out and Chris and his crew extended my fence to fill the gap between my fence and my neighbor's fence so the dogs could not get out. They were professional and great communicators and kept me informed. I had gotten several estimates from other companies and once the other companies gave me the estimates, they would never respond back to me to answer any questions. Chris answered all my questions and always responded to my texts. I still have 2 sides of my yard to fence in and will definitely use Chris and his crew again. I've already had several neighbors ask for his number."

"I loved that, with Hyatt, expectations were met and there was absolutely no drama. (a good thing and, sadly, more rare when working with any contractor these days). At the initial consultation, I asked for a phased plan, since I would not be able to do everything all at once. What I got was exactly what I asked for and once we broke down the scope of work, that's precisely what was performed. The guys were on time, friendly and focused. They completed their work, cleaned up and left. Expectations matched perfectly. I'll be calling on them again in the near future."

At Queen City Plumbing, we don’t have commission driven plumbers that their honesty is affected by what their paycheck looks like that week. All of our plumbers are honest, have been drug tested, background checked, and are paid a salary not commission.

"We've been using Queen City since moving to our new business location almost two years ago. The entire team is professional, knowledgeable, and excellent at communicating with us every time. This past visit, Hayden came after hours (we were desperate with a leaking toilet!) and his visit was quick, efficient, and effective. Highly recommend."

FAQs for lawn irrigation projects in Shelby, NC

While watering your lawn by hand might save you money upfront, installing and using a lawn irrigation system does save you money over time. You are less likely to overwater your lawn with a professional irrigation system, which will cause a reduction in water usage. These systems use the right amount of water without waste. In addition, watering your lawn the correct amount will also help prevent different fungi from growing, saving you money in fungi removal costs.

Lawn irrigation is the process of getting water to your lawn, grass and all, for it to grow. There are five main types of lawn irrigation methods:

  • Manual irrigation puts you in charge of the flow of water. Using a sprinkler head on your hose is best to evenly distribute the water across your entire lawn. This doesn’t take much time but requires you to be physically outside holding the hose. 

  • Above-ground sprinklers attach to your hose and rotate or oscillate around your lawn. Since these are above-ground, they’ll need to be moved when it’s time to mow, and depending on the size of your property, you might need to move it around your yard for full coverage. 

  • In-ground sprinklers are flush with the ground when not in use but pop up above the ground level when it's time to water the lawn. Piping for these sprinklers is all found underground, and there are different types of sprinkler heads for different uses and lawn sizes. 

  • Drip irrigation involves drip lines that are more efficient than sprinklers for more extensive lawns. This involves a lot of digging since they are installed underground, but it makes it easy for you to mow.

  • Rainwater collection and irrigation uses nature’s precipitation to water your lawn. This option might not be available in every area since semi-reliable rainfall is needed, though the barrels for this system can range from 15 gallons to 10,000 gallons or more.

Even though having a lawn irrigation system to water your lawn is efficient, you do not want to run it daily. It’s best to run your system two to three times a week. The length of time to run your system varies on factors like wind, temperature, and the variety of your grass, but 10 to 20 minutes each time is generally preferred. If you water too frequently, you’ll drown your grass and plants.

The cost of a lawn sprinkler system is $2,550 for the average homeowner. However, this price can range from $350 to $5,000 or more, depending on the type of sprinkler system you install, the size of your yard, and the type of sprinkler heads you choose. For example, rotating or oscillating sprinkler heads are more expensive than stationary ones, making the cost for one sprinkler head $2.50 to $30 each. Likewise, a yard that is 1/4 of an acre in size averages a total average price of $2,460; however, a one-acre yard averages a cost of $9,840.

The total time it takes to install a lawn irrigation system is roughly one to two days. This includes digging trenches for any necessary underground piping, placing the piping, wiring, sprinkler heads, and valves, and connecting your sprinkler system to your water supply. If you have a lawn larger than one acre, or if there are any municipality regulations that extend the project, you can expect the timeline to be closer to two days.
