Drip Irrigation in Boise, Idaho

Water-Efficient Drip Irrigation Systems

Drip irrigation delivers water directly to plant roots, reducing water waste and promoting healthier plants. It’s the most efficient way to water gardens, flowerbeds, trees, and landscape areas.

  • Delivers water directly to roots where plants need it
  • Reduces weed growth between plants
  • Minimizes disease by keeping foliage dry
  • Works on slopes and irregular areas
  • Low pressure requirements

Where Drip Irrigation Works Best

  • Vegetable gardens
  • Flower beds and perennial gardens
  • Trees and shrubs
  • Container plantings
  • Narrow strips and awkward areas
  • Slopes and hillsides

Drip Irrigation Components

A typical drip irrigation system includes:

  • Pressure regulator and filter
  • Drip tubing or mainline
  • Emitters (drippers) at various flow rates

  • Fittings and connectors

Installation & Maintenance

We design and install drip irrigation systems as standalone zones or integrated with your existing sprinkler system. Drip systems require minimal maintenance—mainly occasional flushing and checking emitters for clogs.

Cost Comparison
