Grading, Landscaping & Equipment Rental in Northeast Georgia
Irrigation Installation
Our irrigation installation puts water where your lawn and plants need it, in the right amount. A well-planned system helps prevent dry brown patches and soggy low spots. We lay out zones so grass, shrubs and flower beds each get their own schedule. The controller runs the schedule for you.
Weather Tech Roofing is based in Elberton. We install irrigation for homes and businesses in Athens, Hull and Bowman. We put in systems across Northeast Georgia, often alongside a new sod lawn or landscape. One team can build the yard and the system that waters it.

What's Included
We plan the layout first, based on sun, slope and what is planted. Lawn areas get spray or rotor heads set so their patterns overlap. Beds get drip lines that soak the soil slowly at the roots. Irrigation zones laid out this way give Northeast Georgia yards even water in dry summer weeks.

Lawns grow best with long soakings once or twice a week in dry weather. Light daily sprinkling keeps roots shallow and weak. A timed system makes that deep, steady schedule easy to keep.
Before trenching, buried utility lines are marked for free through Georgia 811. We lay pipe, set heads and wire each zone to the controller. Then we run each zone and adjust the heads. Water should cover the area without hitting the house or street.
Georgia's normal watering hours run from 4 p.m. to 10 a.m., so we set the controller to run then. New plantings get a 30-day exception, and drip lines are exempt.
Where We Work
We are based in Elberton. We work on homes, farms and job sites across Northeast Georgia.
View All Service AreasA new sod lawn is a natural time to add irrigation, before grass covers the ground. Shrub and flower beds do well on drip lines that keep water off the leaves. Sloped yards need shorter run times so water does not race downhill. Business owners use irrigation to keep entry beds watered without daily hand work.
Shade and sun change how much water each part of a yard uses. A sunny lawn dries out faster than a bed under trees. Putting them on separate zones keeps one area from drowning while another stays dry. Each zone gets its own run time instead of one schedule for the whole yard. Weather Tech Roofing can add irrigation to new landscaping or an existing yard.

251-947-0767Most lawns grow best with about 1 inch of water a week. That total counts rain plus what the sprinklers add. In dry spells, give it in one or two deep soakings.
Georgia's normal watering hours for landscapes run from 4 p.m. to 10 a.m. Early morning is a good choice, since less water is lost to heat and wind. New plantings, drip lines and private wells have exceptions under state rules.
A rain sensor is a wise add-on for any automatic system. It shuts off watering after rain, so you do not water a soaked yard. UGA Extension recommends them as a simple way to save water.
No, lawns and beds work better on separate zones. Grass uses spray or rotor heads, while beds do well with slow drip lines. Each zone can then get the water it needs.
Set a few rain gauges or straight-sided cans in the zone. Run it for an hour. Then compare how much water each one caught. Big differences mean some heads need adjusting.
