Residential and Small Commercial Irrigation
We’re aware that when people have irrigation installed for their lawn and landscape
– they want green and healthy plants. We’re also aware that landscape plants are often
killed with two much water.
The key is being able to control the timing and amount of water that each part of the
landscape receives. That’s where the careful planning we do at PTM comes into play. We
take time to discover your requirements, your plans for future landscape changes and your
budget – then we design the system that gives you the control you want.
We’re proud to offer Toro Components. The benefits
of Toro quality has been enjoyed by customers across
the nation for nearly 100 years.

PTM Installation means low impact on existing
turf. Using our high floatation vibratory plow for
installation of pipe, we are able to complete our
installation with a minimum of damage to existing turf.
The cut made by the plow is generally healed over
in 2 to 4 weeks. In bare ground applications the
plowing method works better as it allows us to
avoid digging trenches that may settle in the
future.
We drill under the walk and drives as needed
access closed areas. This method saves times
and causes minimal disruption.
Installation of sprinkler heads is done with minimal
digging. A four piece swing joint is used under each
head for support as well as adjustment.
Valve manifolds are preassembled off site
to insure tight assemblies and ease of service
for the future quality and save time on the job.
On residential and light commercial systems
we use the Toro E-Z Flow valves.
Our controllers are equipped with a host of features
that will provide the control and flexibility you need.
The Toro GK 212 controller features three programs,
with up to four start times per day per program. Zone
run times allow for as little as 1 minute, up to 4 hours.
A rain delay settings prevent water waste. The seasonal
adjust feature gives you the option of adjusting all zone
run times at once, on a percentage basis.
The list goes on – Here’s a link to the full feature list.
GK 212 Controller
Many of our customers ask us to
install at rain sensor to shut the system
down in the event of rain. We have a wireless
model that can be installed at the eve spout in
a matter of minutes. No wires to fasten to
the house – just dependable wireless control.

To achieve accurate control of water applied to
landscape plants we use Netafim (Link to PDF) brand drip
irrigation components in most situations. While the Netafim
name might not be familiar in the US – However Netafim
irrigation systems irrigate more than 6 million arces world wide.
Their in line pressure compensating emitters deliver precise
water volumes to plants regardless of elevation or position
in the zone.

Another option for landscape plants and flowers
is high pop fixed spray heads. The Toro 570 accepts
dozens of different nozzles so covering odd shaped
areas is handled with ease.
When PTM systems are finished, the owner can
sit back and relax. The watering gets done when and
how they wish.
Athletic Field Systems
If you are considering athletic field irrigation – be sure to check out the Toro 640
sprinkler head. The 640 has proven dependable under constant use on many of our installations
of the last 20 years. We’re aware of 640s still going strong after nearly 30 years of service.
When the 640 head is used in combination with the Toro Custom Command controller and Toro 252
valves, you have a cost effective and dependable system.
