Designing & installing professional irrigation systems for residential customers is the heart of our business. First Impressions offers close personal attention to each individual customer by both the owner, and our experienced technicians. Our designers and installers are qualified and well trained in irrigation system design, and deliver the finest quality installation & service. We will create a customized irrigation system for your residence that is strategically designed to optimize and beautify your landscaping. We use the highest quality materials available, including irrigation products from industry leader Hunter.

A properly designed irrigation system can address multiple watering requirements of different plants as well as the microclimates found within your lawn and landscape including shaded and full sun areas. Our sprinkler system expertise can properly address these diverse watering needs which will inturn save you money, by not overwatering areas with a poorly designed system.

Our sprinklers are of pop-up design to retract into the ground (and out of sight) when not operating. Our sprinkler systems are installed using a trenchless process which means a seamless install, and no mess. We are experienced in designing systems for all water source applications; city water, well systems, and pump systems from lakes, ponds, and rivers. All systems include a wireless rain sensor, which is a state law. This device will shut your system down when it rains and turn it back on when the sensor dries out.

Planning:

After thoroughly walking your property and listening to all of your lawn irrigation expectations, we will design the correct irrigation system for your home. You will receive a professional presentation about our company so that you understand who is behind the name, and then explain all of the components of your irrigation system. We also offer a form that will allow you to compare many important facts about your potential contractors. We like to call this a Home Owner Checklist. It gives you a chance to compare us against the completion. As a part of our planning process, we will also:

• check your service meter size and obtain the hydrostatic static water pressure from the municipality;
• position all sprinkler heads (Head to Head) with flags for your approval, also to ensure 100% coverage to all lawn / plant areas;
• calculate friction loss in order to make correct pipe sizing selections;
• review basic hydraulics to determine the correct number of valves, heads, mainline and lateral line sizes;
• zone valves according to micro climates on property;

Install:

Proper installation will ensure correct system performance, reliability and durability. During installation we will:

• meet all local backflow prevention codes and all Electrical Licensing Laws of Minnesota. We are required to have a Technology Systems License for any low voltage electrical work. Our license is TS01645.
• leave each project site clean and orderly when the system is completed or at the end of each day where the job requires more than one day to complete.
• review the entire installation process with you for your approval and give an extensive training session on how the system operates.

Our trained staff offers you an extensive knowledge base to meet the challenges of any size project. With our fleet of crews, we have the ability service a large territory. We offer service to the entire Twin Cities metro area. We also offer extended service to the Alexandria Lakes area, Brainerd Lakes area, Cross Lake area, and St. Cloud.
