That's what Shoreline Sprinkling has been doing since 1983. And 25 years later, we are still green. That's because we care about the environment and we are doing our part to conserve water.

Smart Controllers are the new technology. Either remote or onsite weather stations collect rainfall, humidity and temperature data. This data is combined with each specific sprinkler’s type of precipitation rate and the soil type in your yard. All of this information is used by the smart controller understand when to water. Smart Controllers calculate a very precise irrigation schedule delivering water where it needs it most, on the turf & landscape, eliminating wasteful runoff or disastrous under watering results. 

Drip Irrigation is also a rising trend in irrigation. Imagine taking a dry sponge and holding it under a running faucet.  Where does most of the water go? And how fast can that sponge absorb the running water? Also look how much water has run down the drain and not into the sponge. This has been the way that we have learned to irrigate for many years. Runoff and water waste have been “accepted” for many years.  Understanding that water is not a renewable resource, we have to learn to conserve. It won’t be long until the rest of the country figures out that we in Michigan are the trustees of 1/5 of the world’s fresh water. Drip irrigation simply is simply just that, drops of water steadily applied to the soil or root zone where the water is needed. Take that same sponge example and place it under a dripping faucet, can you see the drastic improvement by using a constant dripping source of water? This is the basis of drip irrigation. We at Shoreline Sprinkling have been applying this green technology to landscaping for years, reducing the consumption and the overall cost of water. 

Shoreline Sprinkling is now leading the way with sub surface drip irrigation, drip irrigation system under the grass!  We at Shoreline Sprinkling were proud to design and install West Michigan’s first sub surface drip irrigation system in a LEEDS pilot GREEN home designed by the engineering department of Grand Valley State University. Applying the latest technology and pioneering the design and installation developed the subsurface system. Where a normal irrigation system may consume 2500 gallons a month, the sub surface drip irrigation system reduces the water use nearly 75% still achieving the same results. Consider drip irrigation for your next project.
