Irrigation System Installation

[@misohoney4656]

Laying pipe always seems easier in the dark, especially when working around a thick bush.

[@johnnytest9988]

Especially if your tools aren’t covered by the plastic packaging and you can really feel the tools underground and digging around

[@bscott33]

Lmao

[@trentwood1449]

When you exerted enough pressure with your digging tool, you might notice a surge of pressure that releases a lot of moisture. She might tell you that's never happened before, but don't worry about that.

[@Lemarr02]

Leave it to a man to find a hole in the dark

[@danielbradshaw4068]

Solid joke! Love It.

[@bermudaandbeyond1125]

When I bought our house 2 years ago, the irrigation alone was a huge selling point. 😂 Welcome to a much easier life!

[@thomasgraf4631]

It’s going to look amazing! About 3 weeks ago I did this same for my new dental office. I ran 1250 ft of poly pipe and put in 49 sprinklers. Once you turn them on and can watch all your hard work running it’s a pretty incredible feeling! Props to you my friend!

[@brandonsittler6145]

As a professional utility locator, thank you for telling people to call 811.

[@OliverKlohzov]

811 is definitely a lifesaver.. Ive seen some companies hit a fiber optic and that is probably the worst thing you can do.

[@MatsDawson]

Yup good call on that. Gotta love when a bore team doesn't wait for marks and scrapes a 12 inch transmission gas line.

[@Jim-iq6bx]

Brings back memories of almost 3 years ago this July. Installed 350 feet of 2” PVC with 11 heads right down the middle of my corner lot. Pump water off of the lake in my backyard. I went with the sod cutter prior to trenching. Also, had to trench 75’ to the lake to get power to the irrigation pumps. Oh the treasures I found from construction 10 years prior. Best feeling seeing the water fly for the first time. Have mine set up with a Kasa smart plug and contactor that turns the pump on and all 11 heads, 17k sqft at once. Toughest DIY project I ever did.

[@colinridenour8361]

I’m planning to install my own irrigation, including pulling water from a lake. Would you mind providing any resources you found helpful? Thanks! Trying to find a good resource on necessary pumps, etc. for a lake water source.

[@hothmobile100]

I did an entire irrigation system for my house this summer. Dug all 800 plus feet for the zones by hand. No machine. I even moved the source of the artesian well pipe and installed a sub panel and 50 feet of conduit before I even wired timer, start relay, pump, and solenoid valves for the three zones. All on the summer humidity and heat.

[@Johnny53kgb-nsa]

Man, I'm jealous! That is going to be nice. No more dragging the hose around the yard. Nice job.

[@JimmyLewisMows]

NOICE!!! Pro tip: When connecting funny pipe, heat up the end with a small blow torch to soften it up. Will connect much easier with much less effort.

[@OmarGarcia1]

Jimmy Lewis yes! When I was watching him stick it in cold I said nooooo! Mini torch for the win. You get better every time you “lay pipe” and learn something new 😂

[@TheLawnWhisperer]

@@OmarGarcia1 sometimes you just have to stick it in cold...

[@OmarGarcia1]

The Lawn Whisperer you sure do! Btw I didn’t know you lived in Indiana too! I’m not to far from you bro. On a side note what attachment did you get for Your flowzone. Picked one up yesterday. It’s 3:16 am right now and I’m up spraying haha

[@TheLawnWhisperer]

@@OmarGarcia1 it's a teejet nozzle. I have them pinned in a comment on my get your lawn ready for guests video

[@DMSDitzz]

Im sorry but you guys must have soft lady hands if you need to use a torch at all LOL XD

[@BudgetLawns]

Dang dude. Props to you for taking on so much of this yourself. Will be extra rewarding in the end. Good job!

[@wef0711]

Awesome video man! I did ours about 5 years ago and never regretted it. I added a pneumatic fitting at our valve box so I could attach my air compressor to it and blow all the water out at the beginning of winter. Worked pretty well and was super easy to do. It was such a gratifying project.

[@fathan16]

I really enjoyed the quiet talking and explosive transition music from Spain.

[@TheLawnWhisperer]

Good that’s exactly how I planned it 👍

[@lowKut]

6:37 good info right here. I never knew of this option that would save the grass.

[@TheLawnWhisperer]

Yeah I wish I had had more time and had done that!

[@rbraz4308]

Good work man. I did the same exact install but with Orbit rotors and Rainird RVAN’s. Trenched everything as well. Now, I can control all 5 zones off of my phone. So much work but so rewarding. Now, it’s the greenest lawn on the block while everyone else’s is burnt to a crisp.

[@TheLawnWhisperer]

Awesome! I'm still trying to get mine back. I knew it would be a struggle growing new grass when it's this hot, but I can fix the rest this fall 👍

[@cwilks5592]

I’ve done 3 full installs and a bunch of renovations. Put a system in my current house last spring, about 800ft of pipe. Should have asked for help, it was a physical beat down. Well worth it, I love to sit out after a good mow and watch it run. With the app based controller, I’m able to adjust it from my deployed location in the Middle East.

[@TheLawnWhisperer]

Thank you for your service!

[@jesstaggart4159]

Best use of a baking pan that I have ever seen!!!

[@IsaacMomperousse]

Awesome, I did my system by hand, 23 heads...was a labor of love...so happy to have it done now though....you see that the lines where you trenched will get weeds but also the grasss will be the greenest on the trenches..Gonna be great when its all done

[@fabiannino4106]

I did my own 2 years ago. I used 150psi poly pipe. Its way better than working with pvc. Especially if you have lots of clay in your soil. I rototilled my lawn and leveled it before I installed it. Seeing you tearing up that great lawn is hard to watch! Welcome to the good life! Ha

[@tdotbones]

Nice lawn and I feel your pain digging up your lawn! I did the same late last summer because like you, I was tired of getting up at 4am to position sprinklers. Then I got a timer to attach to my outdoor water spigot, to alleviate some of the early morning risings. But I said to heck with all that and wanted a full automatic irrigation system, sprinkler heads, back flow preventer, control box (Hydrawise by Hunter) , yada, yada yada! But I opted for Blu-lock, no glue just push together fittings. Good Job!

[@ayy1n]

😩😩😩 I couldn’t bring myself to do this .. Speedy recovery 🙌🙏💪

[@brendandennis5868]

15:15 I laid a rainwater drain pipe under the sidewalk by using a piece of (75mm) pvc pipe and a water hose on full blast inside the pvc pipe pushed up to its leading edge. The water acted like a drill against the dirt. All the mud washed out back along the pipe. I just pushed the pipe and twisted it little by little until it was under the sidewalk. My friend's idea but I can vouch for it, it worked a treat.

[@Keith-ym3lm]

I can't believe you did this in late spring, almost summer. you're a WILD MAN!

[@TheLawnWhisperer]

I like to live on the edge 😏 it'll buff out! Wait til next vid 😂

[@Keith-ym3lm]

The Lawn Whisperer I have no doubt you will. Can’t wait to see.

[@Nyck461]

Very very god video. I am planing to do this on my house but before doing my lawn. I feel sorry for the damage on your beautiful lawn.

[@keylarosa5173]

Thank you for showing me that this is not a project I'm going to DIY.

[@christopherjames7233]

Thank you for showing us this. It's helping me make future decisions .

[@tduven]

I just installed a system myself about 2 weeks ago. I rented a vibratory plow and pulled the pipe through. It still requires digging to install the T’s between the pipes along with the heads. I felt your excitement! I’ve got my seed down and I’m loving it!

[@TheLawnWhisperer]

Oh yeah! I had grass pop up a few days ago! Love it

[@jlambo9757]

The trick to going under the sidewalk is to do it with a garden hose on a pvc pipe. It softens the dirt and bores a hole as you work it with a little patience.

[@graceortiz9494]

Wow Justin that is a lot of work to do by yourself (and some helper). But I'm proud of you for finishing the job.

[@donaldpope2155]

“I’m no good at laying pipe”. That’s what she said...... That made me laugh out loud! 😂😂😂😂 Great video!

[@snapperkc9317]

I felt your pain, it was tuff seeing a beautiful lawn ruffed up! To avoid that I hired a company during the dormant grass season, that was 5/6 years ago, the only regret was not getting one sooner. I feel this sprinkler and replacing all the windows were the best improvements we have made while living here.

[@bryantgraham1303]

To b honest that wasn’t as bad as I thought it’d b. That’s actually the best case scenario. But it ain’t my yards so..... good luck with restoring.

[@swktg47]

"If life were all about laying pipe . . . " you could have stopped right there and a nation of men would have instantly liked and subscribed. Beyond that, your admission that you, personally aren't very good at it was both stunning and brave. The fact that you have a truly beautiful lawn in spite of your admitted manly deficiency is inspiring, as is your courage to persevere anyway, knowing the holes in your game. In all seriousness, your lawn looks awesome and it hurt to watch it get torn up, but the tips and laughs I got from watching you do it made it all worthwhile for me. Great video. I'll be subscribing. Thanks!

[@daily2255]

It’s always interesting seeing how others install systems. The way we do it at my company is poly pipe not PVC and for the back flow we just have it plumbed from the utility room, or we take the spigot and extend the copper and run the back flow off that stub and put the spigot off the back flow of the copper was plumbed correctly. Enjoyed your video tho! Good work!

[@samanthaking8792]

Looks great! Your beautiful lawn will bounce back in no time!

I'd say the labor is probably the hardest part to all of this. Congrats in the system!

You’ll be thankful to have the system. I just had to raise 34 sprinklers to maintain good coverage. 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

Never used PVC with funny pipe before. We always used poly pipe up here. I have put in whole systems myself. It definitely is a process.

[@Lawnvolution]

Yo Jason G!😎👊

[@mags219_81]

Laying pipe” is the easy part. Just need rhythm, Fast or slow or combo. Either way get the job done. 🤣 Reminds me of last year on my 7,500sf reno of the front/side. Had my local sprinkler company that I work with on my jobs trench the bare soil, then had my bro (IU grad) help lay the pipe and connect heads. Then test and backfill. Graded and seeded. It was a nice Saturday!!

[@jrobertraymond]

When I had my system put in they had a machine that would pull the pipe under the ground and only made a slight scarring where they pulled the piping. They was done in like 4 hours. The machine you are using is really brutal on the lawn. I have 9 zones and 36 heads.

[@TheLawnWhisperer]

Yup

[@teamclarktrackfield]

Great job my friend. I commend you for doing it yourself. I reside in Northern VA. Got my irrigation system installed Aug 2019, in the middle of a super hot and dry Summer. What helped my lawn heal was watering each zone for 10 minutes per day, for 10 ten days in a row. By the time I over seeded the following month, the lawn had only a few areas that indicated where the pipe was trenched. By the middle of October after the new grass had been mowed for the third time, my lawn was as good as new. No need to worry, it’s worth the hard work you have put in...

[@MeisterofMyLawn]

That’s awesome. Game changer for the grass for sure. Man, I want to do that to my yard. Maybe next season.

[@donslawns1]

Y’all laid a lot of pipe. 😂 at least it’s all done now! Ready to see the comeback!

[@deliriumstatus1333]

trenching in PVC pipe is such an old-school way of installing a system. When the company I work for installs a system, we pull in poly pipe. It makes way less of a mess installing and is much easier to service in the future.

[@TheLawnWhisperer]

Great

[@atypical_moto]

PVC is "Old school"...? Poly pipe was old school 20 years ago... In the commercial irrigation industry, we call stuff like poly pipe "Home owner crap". It's one of the harshest insults you can say to an irrigator. Residential irrigators are typically the half-ass guys that mostly mow lawns but try to do irrigation on the side.

[@chadbahan7255]

My Rachio just arrived in mail today and will be installing it tomorrow. I have the same Hunter PGP rotors and will be swapping a few of them this weekend with I-20 six inch risers. I cut my TTTF at 4 inches. In some areas of my lawn, the 4 inch PGP's can't really get over the top of my grass and it throws the spray off.

Bloomington! My old home. I found using a power washer needle nozzle to cut a trench best. Slices thru dirt. Throws mud but it washes in fast. Small hole.

[@BelcastroJR]

As someone who does this all the time. My advice for future installations. Leave yourself extra room to work with on your valve boxes & piece out your plan before glueing anything. And if you’re using pop ups just don’t put a nozzle on and don’t put rotor heads on and run water through the system to flush the lines. It’ll remove any dirt or gunk that gets in there.

It's exciting to see how easy it is to plan this out. I've been wanting to try an install on my lawn and been dreading it, but this helps. Obviously the labor is still not exciting, but I knew that was going to suck anyway.

[@TheLawnWhisperer]

Honestly the worst part is backfilling all the dirt into the trenches. And it sucked worse for me because it rained that night after I finished install before I could backfill so all the dirt was hard and compacted

[@DRK_BBQ]

@@TheLawnWhisperer Did you compact and water in the dirt after backfilling? I saw that ShortCutLawn did that but I wasnt sure how necessary it was

[@TheLawnWhisperer]

@@DRK_BBQ yeah you can do that or you can kind of mound it up so that after some rain or watering it will settle. I used sand (in the next video)

Wireless valve controller will save future headaches with broken wires and/or controller. Hunter makes a good one that you can operate from your phone, though it is not cheap.

[@lalocina7630]

Only recommendation I’ll give is using marlex on spray heads . It helps with stability and avoid heads tilting.

[@anafdurrani5402]

Thanks for the video. I have seen pvc and the flex hose laid across the lawn. Why did you use pvc? Code? Preference? Quality? How deep did you go? Also, by doing a “T” off of the main water line coming into the house, aren’t you bypassing your water meter?

It grew back. No big deal

[@MichaelSmith-bl4xl]

Too late for your project so this suggestion is for those still learning through you. When marking out project consider landscape lighting. Can easily drop wire into trench before you backfill.

I would've laid poly instead of PVC. A manifold with the valves right next to the PVB would be easier for any repairs needed. Also, good luck on having that PVC on the downstream of the backflow preventer. Hopefully you used schedule 40 PVC. The sun beats down hard on that pipe and will cause it to deteriorate. Consider using copper. But overall, great job man!

[@noeeon9910]

@@mattsorenson6656 Not if the valve manifolds are done correctly. Most of the time the valve can be rebuilt anyway. However if it has to be remanifolded so be it. Sometimes its quicker to replace all valves. Especially if they are weathermatic valves.

@@mattsorenson6656 if it's a long run on a large site, then definitely. But that means you'll have a hot mainline 24/7 all that distance too, unless you run a master valve. Your rodent control needs to be on point as well, lest you be hiring me to trace your broken wires. Pros and Cons.

[@AlexB-vq8fr]

Very informative video! I've been thinking about doing one myself for a year now but my biggest hesitation is the trenching. I'd prefer to use a vibrating plow blade trencher, you make reference to it at 7:08 but the area I live is very rocky (middle TN) so I'm not sure how those things perform with that. 2 questions: did you encounter any big obstacles (rocks) during your trench digging with that big trencher you used and if so, did that trencher just plowed through it? And, question 2 is: I have a skinnier strip of lawn between the road and the sidewalk (3 feet), it runs for about 50 feet from end to end (corner lot), to save on digging and adding additional zones I was considering just placing those heads so it would water that strip section and reach over the sidewalk across the other side. I think you have a similar approach, couldn't tell very well from the video, but do you find too much water being wasted by watering the sidewalk and would you have done anything different on that setup?

[@adnantariq3346]

LOOKS AT THAT LAWN 😳😳😳👍

[@georgeakin9312]

How did the sprinklers hold up over the winter. Would you recommend the hunter heads?

[@daveborchard2019]

If you do the project yourself without a trenching machine it can be done, but it's very labor intensive and takes months. I've put in three systems in three different homes without heavy equipment. I start by installing the vacuums breaker valve and manifold boxes near the house. I temporarily connect spare zones that I can connect hoses to some of the valves in the manifold boxes. That way I could setup three different sets of hoses and sprinklers to irrigate the areas that had not being completed during the construction process. My third sprinkler system that I installed is actually two different 12 zone systems. I have a total of 24 zones. Of the 24 zones, there are 6 zones that are spare zones on different manifolds, that I can hook up hoses for seasonal garden areas for additional irrigation, or future expansion of the sprinkler systems. Each of the two systems has it's own vacuum breaker valve on each side of the house. Each 12 zone system has three manifold valve boxes. Each manifold valve box has four electric valves. One inch pipe feeds the water to the vacuums breaker valves from the water distribution pipes near the water meter in the basement of the house. I have two 12 zone controllers to operate the two systems. My system is probably much larger than most residential sprinkler systems. I installed one zone at a time. I use a large, old kitchen knife to cut sections of the sod and fold them over. I then manually dug out the dirt with very small gardening tools, including a flat wrecking bar to loosen the soil. The soil is temporarily hauled away and stored in a pile that is not laying on the grass. Then the PVC pipes and connectors are installed in the zone trench from the manifold box to the heads. After each zone is completed, the dirt is returned to the trench, a little compost is added to liven up the sod that may have been folded over for several days. The sod is place on top of the thin layer of compost. Occasionally, I would run into rocks that were in the way of my trenches. The rocks would have to be dug out of the ground. The rocks were usually up to 6 inches in diameter, but the largest rock was about 2 feet in diameter. The rocks were removed by digging and prying with my two 6 foot very heavy duty metal wrecking bars. One of my former homes had clay soil, which makes the digging dramatically more difficult. The other homes were loam soil, which makes the digging much easier. I use the thicker PVC in the system, and I connect the heads directly to the 3/4" risers from the 1" PVC pipes. I'm not sure why you would need the flexible pipe to connect the sprinkler heads. I have 3 heads per zone, so I can get a lot of water pressure out of each head. I screw down the set screws in each head to diffuse the water, which reduces the water throw distance, but dramatically improves the water coverage. It took me several months, after workdays and on weekends to complete the sprinkler systems for each home I've lived at over the years. It's a tremendous amount of manual labor to do the job without heavy equipment, or destroying the yard, but it is possible to do. It saved a huge amount of money for my two 12 zone systems, but it consumed a huge amount of my free time to do the installation for each home. The cost for my system was only the parts, plus many hundreds of hours of my free time. If you haven't done so already, you might also do a video about blowing out your sprinkler system with compressed air. Every year, you have to be very careful to throughly blow out your sprinkler system before the weather gets too cold, if you live in a cold climate that gets below 32 degrees for long time periods. Frozen water in system system will destroy your sprinkler system.

[@Dieselprescott]

Great video and congrats on your system..... we just did ours at the end of last year and had to winterize it..... could not wait to use it this year almost like buying a new car...... you should work on your pipe laying skills!! It can come in handy!!
