A Leak, a Bill, and a Wake-Up Call
It started with a spike in the water bill. One Tucson homeowner, Diane, noticed soggy patches in the gravel and wilting lantana—despite watering daily. After weeks of frustration, she called Sonoran Oasis Landscaping to have their irrigation professional technician check it out.
The technician found a cracked poly line, a misprogrammed controller, and a buried leak wasting dozens of gallons a day. With a few smart upgrades and proper adjustments, her landscape was thriving again—and her water bill dropped. This is the power of smart irrigation—done right.
What Is Smart Irrigation?
Smart irrigation uses technology, design, and knowledge to deliver the right amount of water at the right time—especially important in the arid Sonoran Desert. Efficient systems conserve water, save money, and improve plant health.
But no system is “smart” without a qualified professional behind it.
That’s where certified irrigation professionals come in—and why hiring the right one is essential for Tucson homeowners, HOAs, and property managers.
