Our experience with Creative Habitats has been great. Our lawn is coming around with your help and the Irrigation. Speaking of the irrigation, our garden really did well last year since the irrigation now covers the garden." J.B.

Here is a description of some of the principles we use when laying out an irrigation sprinkler system:
- Use heavy duty pipe. In photo 1. you can see the difference between thinner 'irrigation' pipe and what we use.
- Keep valves grouped so that future irrigation sprinkler maintenance will be as efficient as possible. It is very difficult to fix irrigation systems where the valves are spread out in the yard because after several years the smaller boxes get covered by grass. It also requires more wire to control the valves which gives greater opportunity for failure should the wire get cut or struck by lightning.
- Try to put irrigation sprinkler valves in a bed and not in the middle of the yard. This is purely aesthetic. It looks messy when there are a bunch of irrigation boxes in the turf.
- Space irrigation heads a little closer together so that if there is a drop in pressure the system will still perform well.
Irrigation Repair
Our most valuable resource in irrigation repair is Glynn O'Steen (524-8911). Before coming to work for us he was one of the top technicians in the nation for Xerox and was assigned to fixing and maintaining their newest line of million dollar machines. Irrigation repair is his retirement job. We utilize line locate devices, metal detectors, electronic multimeters and good common sense to as efficiently as possible trouble shoot and fix your system. We can also fix landscape lighting. The way we charge for this service is generally 65.00 for the first hour and 50.00 for each additional hour plus materials for homes in the Auburn and Opelika area.

"After talking with three irrigation companies we chose Creative Habitats to install our new irrigation system. Their estimate was not only very competitive but the quality of the irrigation system was better than the competition. Corey walked us through the process very carefully and fully answered all our questions. ... Their work was fabulous with perfectly placed heads. We could not be more pleased with Creative Habitats our expert irrigation specialist."
