Sprinkler System Parts

I get emails and phone calls all the time from people looking to purchase lawn sprinkler and irrigation system parts. However, I do not currently sell parts, but I have found a great, reliable irrigation parts supplier that has the best prices, warranties, and customer service.

You can find the website by clicking the link below:

Sprinkler System Parts

Chas with Evergreen Sprinklers is a very nice guy to work with. Him and his staff treat people well and provide quality irrigation/ lawn sprinkler system parts. You can find everything from replacement parts to brand new items. They sell brands such as Rain Bird, Hunter, and Toro. They carry all kinds of sprinkler materials such as spray heads, rotor heads, swing assemblies, funny pipe, pvc fittings, timers/controllers, wire, electric valves, and other accessories.

Give this site a shot, I highly recommend them based on price comparison and customer service. You can always go to your local irrigation wholesaler, but ordering over the Internet has become convenient and price comparable.

Spared from Hurricane Irrigation Landscape Good

I feel very sorry for the people in Louisiana & Mississippi right now as they have taken the brunt of Hurricane Gustav. There will no doubt be a mess to clean up and some destruction to construction projects in the middle of production. This is the bad part about living on the Gulf Coast, but it is still a beautiful place to live.

We were spared in my are in Northwest Florida, we just got a few wind gust of maybe 30 mph and a few heavy rains at times, but nothing major compared to what we have been through before. The storm surge predicted last night was lower than expected which is good for those in low-lying areas, such as houses on the water or those in flood zones.

This should prove to be very minimal damage and should not affect our direct area as bad as the previous storms we have endured in the past such as Hurricane Ivan, Hurricane Katrina, and Hurricane Opal.

Hurricanes are serious things and not to be taken lightly. Those who haven't been through the aftermath of horrible storms don't quite understand the importance of preparation. Even if you prepare and nothing happens, at least you are one step closer to being ready for the next big storm, which is bound to happen in this region of the U.S.A.

My heart goes out to all of those who caught the direct hit and devastation of the storm. For those of you who were spared, be thankful and be prepared for the next one. We are in the prime of Hurricane Season!

Hurricane Gustav Storm Surge

Hurricane Gustave is in the Gulf of Mexico and quickly approaching land with a projected patch with Louisiana right in the middle. Much of Louisiana and certain areas in Mississippi have had mandatory evacuation.

It doesn't appear that we'll be nailed dead on here in Niceville, Bluewater, Fort Walton Beach, Navarre, Pensacola, Santa Rosa Beach, and Panama City Beach Area, bu there will still be tropical storm force winds to deal with, along with a projected 3' - 6' storm surge from Hurricane Gustav. That surge can put houses that are on the water in danger as there irrigation pumps can get easily damaged once submerged in, or even heavily sprayed salt water. Also, if trees come up-rooted, many pipes will also come up-rooted and have to be repaired. We stocked up on ice today, canned goods, water, propane, charcoal, and more. We topped off gas in all the work trucks and personal vehicles yesterday before the prices went up too much

Hopefully we are all spared from major damage as I want everyone to remain safe. Just remember to always be prepared.
