Drip that waters roots, not leaves.
Drip irrigation for flower beds, foundation plantings and shrub borders, with filters and pressure regulators, laid under mulch and on its own zone.
- Components: Filter, pressure regulator, tubing, emitters
- Zone: Separate from lawn zones
- Pressure: About 25 PSI at the tubing
What it is, and why it matters.
Spray heads waste a lot of water on beds: it lands on leaves, evaporates and drifts. Drip delivers water slowly right at the roots, which is better for most perennials and shrubs and keeps foliage dry, which helps with disease. A drip zone needs a filter and a pressure regulator, since drip tubing runs at far lower pressure than spray.
We lay tubing under mulch with emitters spaced to the plants, and cover or stake it so it stays put. In Nashville, where clay soil drains slowly, drip's slow application soaks in deeply without puddling. Because beds usually need different water than lawn, we always put drip on its own zone.

Drip Irrigation for Beds: common questions
Is drip better than sprinklers for flower beds?
Usually yes. Drip puts water at the roots, wastes less and keeps leaves dry. Sprays are better for lawn.
How long should a drip zone run?
Typically longer than a spray zone but less often, such as 30 to 60 minutes a few times a week, adjusted to your plants and the weather. We set it for you.
