Smart Irrigation
Martha's Vineyard
Water is Martha's Vineyard's most precious resource. We design, install, and calibrate irrigation systems that use significantly less water while building deeper, more drought-tolerant roots, protecting both your lawn and the Island's freshwater supply.

Water Deep. Water Infrequently. Water Smart.
Martha's Vineyard relies entirely on groundwater. With a single shared aquifer serving all six towns, responsible irrigation isn't just good practice. It's a civic responsibility. Yet overwatering is the single most common lawn care mistake on the Island.
Frequent, shallow watering trains grassroots to stay near the surface, making lawns vulnerable to drought and heat stress. Deep, infrequent watering — calibrated to actual evapotranspiration rates — builds drought-resilient roots that reach 6–12" into the soil.

Smart Controller Technology
Modern irrigation controllers connect to real-time weather data, adjusting schedules automatically based on rainfall, temperature, and evapotranspiration — no manual intervention needed.
Rain Sensor Integration
Automatically skips scheduled cycles when it rains. Prevents the common mistake of watering during or immediately after rainfall.
Weather-Based Scheduling
Controllers pull live weather data and adjust run times based on actual evapotranspiration rates, not just a fixed timer.
Remote App Control
Monitor and adjust your system from anywhere in the world. Ideal for seasonal residents managing Island properties remotely.
Usage Reporting
Track water consumption by zone, identify inefficiencies, and receive seasonal usage reports to optimize your program.
Leak Detection
Advanced systems detect abnormal flow rates that indicate broken heads or line breaks, before your next water bill arrives.
Seasonal Adjustments
Automatic run-time adjustments as seasons change. Watering more in peak summer heat and tapering off as fall approaches.
