Irrigation Maintenance

Commercial or Residential Irrigation Maintenance

LM Construction and Mechanical can help to install new irrigation system or upgrade and maintain existing systems. There are may benefits to having a drip irrigation system including time savings, water savings, and having a beautiful lush yard that will help to keep your home cooler in the summer. We provide annual system startups to check that all emitter heads are working properly and that there are no leaks in your system. At the end of the season we will use compressed air to completely drain your lines to prevent leaks caused by winter freezing. Newer systems can be easily controlled through your smartphone to setup a schedule, do a one time watering, or stop the system from running on a rainy day. These systems are inexpensive and can be installed directly at the hose bib. Enjoy the 300+ beautiful days of Northern New Mexico sunshine in a beautiful water saving yard.
