Keeping your lawn healthy and green in Warrenton’s variable climate can be challenging. The Oregon coast brings heavy rain in winter and unexpected dry spells in summer, which makes proper watering essential—and tricky. That’s where smart irrigation systems come in.
At Alejo and Construction and Landscape, we install advanced irrigation systems that adapt to your yard’s exact needs, saving you time, water, and money.
💡 Why Smart Irrigation Makes Sense on the Coast
Traditional timers don’t account for rain, soil conditions, or seasonal changes. Smart systems do. These systems monitor:
- Local weather forecasts
- Soil moisture levels
- Plant type and sunlight exposure
This data allows the system to automatically adjust your watering schedule, helping you avoid overwatering and reducing waste.
🛠️ Installation Process: What to Expect
- Site Assessment – We inspect your property to determine sun/shade areas, slopes, and current water usage.
- System Design – Zones are mapped based on plant type, exposure, and drainage.
- Equipment Setup – We install underground piping, valves, and Wi-Fi-enabled controllers.
- Calibration & Training – The system is programmed for your landscape and connected to your phone for easy monitoring.
🌱 Benefits of a Smart Irrigation System
- Saves Water – Automatically avoids watering before/during rain
- Healthier Landscape – Prevents root rot and dry patches
- Remote Control – Use your smartphone to make adjustments from anywhere
- Lower Water Bills – Most customers reduce usage by 30–50%
💵 Cost & Rebates
The cost of a smart irrigation system in Clatsop County varies depending on property size and complexity, typically starting at $1,800–$3,000 for a fully installed system.
Some local municipalities may also offer rebates for water-efficient systems—we can help you check availability.
📍 Local Showcase: Irrigation Overhaul in Astoria, OR
We recently upgraded a ¼-acre backyard in Astoria with a 6-zone smart irrigation system. Within two months, the homeowner reported a 40% drop in their water bill, and their lawn looked better than ever. The system now runs itself, adjusting daily based on forecast data.
