Fleming designs and installs new systems, then keeps them running: spring start-up, repairs, RPZ certification and winterization.

Eight full-time irrigation employees, two full-time service technicians and a service manager with more than 25 years at Fleming. Our job is to keep the lawn and landscape looking right; yours is to sit back and enjoy it.
Illustrative sheet. Every Fleming installation gets its own drawing, kept in the permanent file.
Sheet notes
This drawing is how we think about every yard. Each note is a step our crews follow on residential installs, with an experienced site manager on site from start to finish.
The layout is designed to fit the site and to follow building and water-use codes. Heads are spaced head-to-head, so every head throws to the next one and coverage holds in wind and at peak demand.
The layout is marked out on your lawn with each head flagged in position, and you approve it before installation starts.
A machine pulls the pipe underground instead of trenching the yard. Holes for the heads are dug by hand, and shrub and perennial beds are hand dug too.
Valves are assembled on site and each head is adjusted so it waters turf and beds, not the driveway, the walk or the siding.
A state-of-the-art controller waters zone by zone, and a rain sensor puts the system on standby when it rains. Before the crew leaves, you get a walk-through of the controller, the water supply and the sensor.
When the system is finished, a final as-built drawing goes into Fleming's permanent files, so whoever services it years from now knows where every line runs. Parts and labor carry a full warranty.
After the install
An Iowa system needs attention at both ends of the season. We run it up in spring, fix it whenever something breaks, certify the backflow device and blow the lines out before the ground freezes. You get a notice before winterization; you do not have to remember.
