DIY irrigation and lighting projects often look straightforward, but small mistakes can create big, expensive problems. Professional installation by our team at Evergreen Contracting & Irrigation starts with a site evaluation that factors in soil type, plant needs, slope, shade, and local watering rules. This planning phase determines zone layout, pipe sizing, head spacing, wiring runs, and controller placement so your system delivers consistent results without waste or hazards.

In irrigation, precision matters. Head-to-head coverage, pressure regulation, and matched precipitation rates prevent dry spots, runoff, and overspray onto hardscapes. Our pros design zones by plant type and sun exposure, incorporate pressure-regulating heads, and specify check valves to limit low-head drainage. Backflow prevention is vital for health and code compliance; we select and install approved devices and arrange annual testing so drinking water stays protected.

Hydraulics and materials selection are easy to get wrong. Undersized laterals, improper fittings, or shallow trenching can lead to bursts, leaks, and damage from traffic or frost. Professionals calculate friction loss, size mainlines correctly, and set burial depths that protect components. They add isolation valves, unions, and service boxes for future maintenance, and program seasonal adjustments so watering schedules match weather patterns rather than guesswork.

Modern efficiency upgrades pay for themselves when they’re configured correctly. Smart controllers that reference local weather data, flow sensors that detect hidden leaks, and soil-moisture probes reduce water bills and protect landscapes from stress. We fine-tune nozzles, incorporate drip irrigation for beds, and retrofit high-efficiency components without compromising coverage.

Outdoor lighting has its own pitfalls. Low-voltage does not mean low risk. Poor connections, incorrect transformer sizing, and unbalanced loads cause voltage drop, dimming, premature lamp failure, and nuisance trips. Our professionals at Evergreen Contracting & Irrigation use waterproof connectors, calculate total load and run lengths, and design with proper taps for even brightness. We bury cable at safe depths, route around utilities, and protect fixtures with correct IP ratings and corrosion-resistant hardware.

Lighting design is both technical and artistic. Our landscape lighting services in Harrisburg, PA position fixtures to highlight architecture, trees, and pathways while controlling glare and light trespass. They select beam spreads, lumen levels, and color temperatures that flatter materials and skin tones, and add timers, photocells, or smart controls for convenience and energy savings.
