Sprinklers & Irrigation
An irrigation system that runs on a fixed schedule regardless of rainfall and season isn't saving your plants — it's wasting water and potentially overwatering them at the same time.

Water-Efficient Design
Drip Irrigation Changed What's Possible in Southern California Gardens.
Drip systems deliver water directly to root zones with minimal evaporation and no overspray onto hardscape or non-planted areas, making them the most water-efficient option available for planting beds, shrubs, and trees. Combined with rotor and spray heads for lawn areas and a smart weather-based controller, a well-designed mixed system can reduce water use by 30–50% compared to traditional spray-only systems without any compromise to plant health. AJ Criss designs these systems from the hydraulic calculations up, ensuring every zone has the right pressure and flow to operate as designed.
Irrigation That Responds to Your Landscape, Not Just a Timer.
The standard residential irrigation setup — a fixed spray schedule running six days a week regardless of season, recent rainfall, or actual plant demand — is the primary reason most San Diego landscapes are both underperforming and using more water than they need to. Smart irrigation design starts by understanding what each zone of your landscape actually requires, then builds a system capable of delivering that precisely — and adjusting automatically when conditions change. AJ Criss designs and installs irrigation systems that serve your landscape rather than just watering it.
