Field intelligence
What does RNR look at before irrigation?
Irrigation in Sonoma, Napa, and Marin needs to reflect water pressure, plant groupings, slope, controller setup, overspray, and changing seasonal demand. Water-wise design is strongest when turf, shrubs, trees, and beds are zoned separately.
What does RNR check on the walkthrough?
- Water pressure, valves, controller condition, broken lines, leaks, and uneven coverage.
- Spray heads, drip lines, hydrozones, slope runoff, overspray, and dry spots.
- Plant types, turf areas, shade, sun exposure, soil type, and mulch condition.
- Schedules that may be wasting water or stressing plants during hot or wet periods.
Best-fit clients
- Homeowners with brown spots, overwatering, leaks, or outdated controllers.
- Commercial properties needing dependable coverage without wasteful overspray.
- Clients converting turf or planting beds to more water-wise landscapes.
- North Bay properties where irrigation affects plant health and water costs.

How irrigation moves from walkthrough to finished work.
Every RNR service has to read the property first. Grade, water, access, planting, materials, and aftercare shape the finished plan.

Free consultation
Need irrigation in the North Bay?
Call RNR or request a free estimate. The team serves Petaluma, Penngrove, Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, Napa County, and Marin County.
When should you choose another first step?
- A quick cosmetic planting change when the real problem is pressure, valves, hydrozones, runoff, or controller setup.
- Irrigation changes that conflict with current water agency or property requirements.
- Planting plans that depend on heavy water use without a maintenance or establishment plan.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating irrigation as an isolated task instead of reading the whole property first.
- Replacing plants without fixing pressure, overspray, zone timing, or drip layout.
- Using drought-tolerant plants without establishment watering or mulch.
- Watering every area on the same schedule even when lawns, shrubs, trees, and beds need different treatment.
Aftercare
How does irrigation keep working after the visit?
RNR treats the follow-up conditions as part of the scope, especially when water, soil, grade, planting, or recurring maintenance will affect the result.
- Monitor drip, sprinklers, emitters, valves, and controller settings as seasons change.
- Refresh mulch and adjust watering during plant establishment.
- Watch for runoff, dry spots, overspray, clogged heads, or leaks after the first service.

Accessibility-conscious design
This work can be planned around mobility from day one.
Smart controllers at reachable heights, drip zones that keep overspray off walkways, and fewer hoses across routes make a yard safer and easier for everyone who uses it.
RNR designs mobility-friendly outdoor spaces for wheelchair users, seniors aging in place, veterans, caregivers, and anyone who needs routes, surfaces, and controls that simply work. It never has to look institutional.
