Underground Sprinklers
An automatic sprinkler system gives you the landscape you've always wanted: a thick green lawn, lush shrubs and plants and a beautiful garden. It adds beauty and value to your home while saving time and water. You can forget about dragging hose around the yard and fixing leaky faucets. Your lawn will enjoy the right amount of water in the right spot at the right time. Nebraska Sod is proud to be a Rain Bird Select contractor with over 30 years of experience in the lawn irrigation industry. We’re also happy to install or repair any major brand.
Our underground sprinkler systems come in three levels of sophistication:
Standard System: Our basic system includes all the features and quality you’ve come to expect from Rain Bird, the #1 name in underground sprinklers. Components include a digital, programmable Rain Bird controller, Rain Bird valves, Rain Bird spray and rotor heads as well as a rain-sensor that turns your sprinkler off automatically after a rain. As a Rain Bird Select Contractor we are able to offer a 5 year warranty on all Rain Bird Systems.
Smart System: This system includes everything listed above but features a more sophisticated controller that takes the guess work out of programming. Whereas a standard sprinkler controller waters your lawn according to a programmed schedule, a “smart” controller utilizes weather data from a built-in weather station or an in-ground moisture sensor to run your sprinklers only when your lawn actually needs water. Factors such as temperature, humidity, wind and rainfall are considered before watering commences. Smart systems are able to adjust the amount and timing of irrigation throughout the growing season so you don’t have to.
HC3 Smart System: Did you know that the typical underground sprinkler system wastes an average of 8,000 gallons of water a month due to needless over-watering? This is equivalent to turning on a faucet-- wide open-- for more than 24 hours each month! Want to cut your lawn water usage nearly in half? Nebraska Sod’s HC3 Smart System is the solution. An HC3 (Hydro Certified Conservation Contractor) Smart System utilizes all of the features of the standard and smart systems detailed above but takes the entire design process one step further to dramatically increase watering efficiency. HC3 is the most sophisticated and environmentally-friendly underground sprinkler design available today. If saving nature’s most precious resource concerns you, this may be the solution you’ve been looking for. Call us today for more details about the HC3 philosophy of irrigation design and how it can save both water and money.
“Just a 10% improvement in irrigation could conserve enough water to double the global amount of water available for drinking,” said Neil Wilson, Chairman and CEO of HYDROLogic. “We need to be proactive and rethink our daily watering habits. The HC3 Smart System is engineered to curb water waste.”
