Your Irrigation and Outdoor Lighting Specialists

The entire Expert Irrigation team would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank each and every single one of our customers for a great 2019 irrigation season and to tell you we greatly appreciate the opportunity to serve you! 

We genuinely look forward to doing it again in 2020 and want to let you know we always strive to improve our procedures and services.

We also want to make sure you know we are available throughout the Winter months for any needed service. Our Winterizations will continue for anyone not yet serviced. Outdoor Lighting projects can be done virtually all Winter long. Controller upgrades too! If you have any interest in discussing some Winter discounts, please give us a call and ask what we have for you. Our off-season is approaching and we can perform many services at discounted rates. 

Happy Holidays!
 
Thanks again for your business, and as always, please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you.

​Expert Irrigation​ is a full service irrigation contracting company. For over 20 years, our company has installed, maintained, and serviced in-ground irrigation and landscape lighting systems throughout Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati. Expert Irrigation uses the highest quality and newest materials available and we design for head-head coverage ensuring proper water placement. Our quality of work will not be outdone.

Our team has over 30 years of residential and commercial irrigation and landscape lighting experience. Coupled with our education in plant and soil requirements, we will provide you with an efficient system that will keep your yard looking its best. ​

We're not quite sure where the Summer went, but it's pretty clear we've reached the end of irrigation season. Our crews are currently working hard to make sure we have everyone’s system shutdown in a timely manner. If you have not heard from us yet, please call (859) 282-8101 to schedule your Winterization. 

A few reminders if an early frost or freeze occurs prior to your irrigation system being Winterized:

• Turn the controller to the OFF position
• Turn the water supply off to the irrigation system if this is located in the basement
• Take an old blanket or towel and wrap the outside backflow preventer.  This will help keep the weather off the backflow and protect it from freeze damage

Once your system has been Winterized for the year, do not turn the water back on to the irrigation system.  Also, if your backflow was removed, remember to keep it stored in a place off the garage floor.  In a shelf or the basement is preferable…just don’t forget where you put it.

Remember to ask about our Outdoor Lighting packages. As the days get shorter, you should consider adding some "Up Lights" to the front of your house. Servicing your existing lighting gives us an opportunity to repair and update your lights. Do you have a lighting system that works sporadically?  Does your lighting system not work at all? Are half the bulbs burnt out or fallen over? Curb appeal is huge and over time, these investments need some TLC. You can count on us to fix it or upgrade to LED. There are nearly endless options to beautify your home and landscape.

As the days start to grow shorter and darkness falls earlier and earlier in the Fall, now's the perfect time to add (or upgrade) your outdoor lighting system. Low voltage LED lighting has evolved to the point it's literally a "must have" for many discerning homeowners. And why not? Anything we can do to extend our days and create relaxing outdoor living areas has to be a good thing, right? Here are some additional reasons Expert Irrigation and Outdoor Lighting believes Fall is the perfect time for outdoor lighting projects:

SECURITY

Properly lighting the outside of your home plays a major role in deterring potential intruders. Long after the sun sets and you’ve gone to sleep, proper landscape lighting provides protection for your home.

AESTHETIC APPEAL

One can confidently claim that landscape lighting highlights and complements your home’s unique features. Proper lighting warms the feel of your home, making it more welcoming. Not only that, but with professional landscape lighting, you can enjoy your home’s landscape day or night.

SAFETY

Not only does lighting enhance the appeal of your home, but it also increases the safety. Frequently there are reasons we need to be outside - to walk the dog, take out the trash, grab the mail, etc. When your home is not properly lit, each of these activities can become dangerous. Any rocks, curves, stairs, or steps in your yard can be difficult to navigate in the dark. It makes sense to use proper lighting to prevent accidents from the beginning.

FUNCTIONALITY

Landscape lighting lengthens the amount of time you can enjoy your outdoor living space with family and friends. While the value from increasing your ability to use our outdoor space cannot be financially quantified, it is very real--especially so when you are able to appreciate it.

FINANCIAL BENEFIT

Professional landscape lighting can increase the value of your home by up to 20%, and the perceived value can equate a quicker or higher offer when it’s time to sell. If you have invested in your landscape, patio, or other outdoor living areas, adding outdoor lighting extends the time you can enjoy your investments.

Just like you would take time and money to invest in your landscape, professional outdoor lighting is an investment that you shouldn't take lightly. The quality you get from professional installment is far superior to any DIY project, plus your certified landscape lighting technician has the tools and experience to properly light your home.

​July showed up this year with some awfully hot weather and not a lot of rain. This combination makes for a great time to review your irrigation system. If you signed up for a seasonal maintenance package that has a Mid-Summer checkup, we will see you soon. If you haven't signed up yet, call our office and schedule an appointment with an Expert technician.

Let's face it, water costs a lot of money these days -- so let’s make sure everything is working correctly. Maybe there are damaged heads from car traffic around the curb? Maybe the controller had a power failure and the sequencing is inaccurate? Or maybe you just need to increase the cycle run times and want a professional to do it? 
​​
Also, think about the upgrades in technology that are available to you. Hunter’s Hydrawise controller is a great option. You can access the settings via any smart device from anywhere is the world. Turn the controller on while at work or a ball game. Or, have it programmed to irrigate by changes in weather patterns. This can automatically be achieved by syncing it with a local weather station. There are so many options available to homeowners now. Working together, let's be more preventative and less reactive!

Thanks again for your business and as always please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you.
