Irrigation for Hennepin County's shaded old yards
Minneapolis-area yards are a patchwork: deep shade under boulevard trees, blasted-sun boulevards, established gardens, and narrow side yards, often all on one lot. Watering that patchwork evenly is a design problem, and tree roots make trenching an art of its own.
An experienced local installer zones the yard by what each part actually needs and routes lines around mature roots without wrecking them. Garden beds get drip, turf gets coverage without overspray on the siding, and the whole yard thrives on a system you never notice.
