Ever drive by and see a sprinkler system creating an excessive amount of mist and spray? Well that home or property owner is probably spending more money to water air than grass due to inefficient sprinkler heads. That’s because the water evaporates before it ever reaches the soil, especially on very hot days.

What’s the cause? Probably water pressure and inefficient sprinkler heads. What’s the fix? Our Watering Tip Video #2 on Misting & Fogging explains and tells you how you can save on your water bills.

According to research, children who enjoy playing outdoors and are exposed to grass and greenery have improved health and function more effectively. For example, green spaces help them:
Reduce stress… “A study published in Environment and Behavior (Vol35:311.330) indicates that ‘by boosting children’s attentional resources, green spaces may enable them to think more clearly and cope more effectively with life’s stress.’”

Reduce ADHD symptoms…“Researchers at University of Illinois report findings that children who regularly play in outdoor settings with lots of green (grass and trees, for example) have milder Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms than those who play indoors or in built outdoor environments.”

Function more effectively… “Contact with nature helps children to develop cognitive, emotional, and behavioral connections…Nature experiences are important for encouraging imagination and creativity, cognitive and intellectual development, and social relationships.^”

Cope with peer pressure… “…girls exposed to green settings are better able to handle peer pressure, sexual pressure and other challenging situations as well as perform better in school.”

Improve overall health…“There is growing evidence that horticulture is important on a human level. Plants lower blood pressure, reduce muscle tension related to stress, improve attention and reduce feelings of fear and anger or aggression.^”

Recently we were informed that for a third time in a row, Omaha has voted us Best of Omaha in Irrigation. Soon after that we were presented with our fourth Angie’s List Super Service Award. For a small business such as ours, that’s like winning an Oscar and an Emmy repeatedly!

That kind of customer support is what drives us here at Quality Irrigation. If you were ever to sit in on some of our weekly meetings you’d discover that we never forget that Quality is in our name, that we constantly strive to live up to the principles and core values of our business, and most especially, we try hard to listen  to our customers and to meet and even exceed their expectations.

If you visit the Rain Bird® website this month you’ll see Quality Irrigation’s president, Ryan Jardine, featured on their Professionals landing page. That’s because Quality Irrigation was selected  by the irrigation industry leader to participate in a new, national marketing campaign promoting Rain Bird’s PGA series valves. Built for high-end residential and light commercial applications, the PGA valves are “the toughest, most reliable valves for their class.”

The Q crew is featured in a video on the PGA series product page illustrating the benefits of the PGA valves. Created and produced by Lincoln-based marketing firm, Swanson-Russell, the promotional campaign is titled, “We Don’t Just Build Products, We Build Reputations.”

“Rain Bird is recognized worldwide as a leader in our industry,” says Jardine. “To be included in one of their campaigns and featured on their website is very much an honor for us.”

Rain Bird offers the industry’s broadest range of irrigation products for farms, golf courses, sports arenas, commercial developments and homes in more than 130 countries around the globe.

Swanson Russell is a marketing communications agency with a few key areas of focus: outdoor recreation, agribusiness, construction, health care, regional brands and the green industry.
