- I Installed TWO Irrigation Systems The HARDEST Lawn Renovation I Have EVER Done!
Check out the Irrigreen system for yourself - design.irrigre...
I went with the Irrigreen irrigation system for a couple reasons
1 - It's VERY cool technology and I love technology!
2 - To save a ton of water
3 - To be able to water as perfectly as I possibly can
This has been the hardest lawn renovation I have ever done before. The work itself wasn't that hard but the heat index was absolutely BRUTAL! I can not get over how hot it was. I installed two irrigation systems. One is a "makeshift" or "temporary" system just to water the seed. I will use the irrigreen exclusively once the Blue Heat KBG is up and running. I did not want to take a chance on the irrigreen system moving my seed around due to the very heavy water drops the irrigreen produces.

You have to be one on the hardest working guys I know.
They might outsmart me but they won’t out work me…
I’ve binged watched a bunch of your videos and I’m glad to say the lady who went out for a jog is right! I can see you grass is definitely now greener. GREAT WORK
You know them neighbors are thinking - “there goes crazy Pete again with the yard”
We all aspire to be that guy! 😎
It's been a long time coming for tech like this to be introduced to the home owner. I appreciate videos like this - you show us something new and cool, something we might actually be interested in, but not overly pushy or trying to sell the product. Keep it up!
Pete, not a huge deal but this video only has left channel audio. Reno is taking shape man. That sprinkler is amazing. Wish I would have that so I'm not watering the road driveway. That can also get that little space that never gets water by the mailbox.
Check your audio, only coming out of the left channel. Awesome video as always.
That Irrigreen system is off the hook! Great video Pete.
2 Seconds In - had to pause and like the video - now I will watch! Love you, Pete!
Man I wish our ground was looked that !
I’m in Ct and you can’t dig , pull pipe or anything without hitting tons of rock
Nice job ! Your yard grading looks beautiful
What a nice compliment from that woman running by
This is a system for the Future for me, Right now im doing more of a DIY system but definitely a system to keep in mind when ready to spend the big bucks. Thank you Sr. for the great video.
There's that ABI that I was looking for! Butter smooth!
I've always installed sprinklers before fine grading. That way any rocks that you dig up can be re-burried. Compact the trench, leave flex pipe exposed and fine grade away. Then once grade is perfect you can dig out the flex pipe and install the heads to grade. There is more than one way to skin a cat. Looks like a solid piping install.
Woo!!! You are working hard hard hard! Looks fantastic! The system you chose sounds great! And that temporary system is an excellent idea as well. Pete, no words to describe how awesome you are!!!
Hey Pete , I just recently found out about the irrigreen sprinklers so when I seen you were going to install one I knew that it wasn't no junk. I'm loving my new hat and shirt. 🇺🇲
What a great environmental and sustainable system that is Pete.
That Irrigreen system is pretty cool. One day I may just upgrade to that. Thanks for sharing Pete 👊🏼
Wow! Total game changer! Can’t wait to buy stock
I just got off the phone from talking to these Irrigreen guys a few minutes ago. I’m in the same boat right now. Just get done regrading this weekend.
Another great video and can't wait to see the finished results. Fascinating irrigation system. One thing I have to say though is you need to work on the microphone placement or check the settings / Audio portion of the video editing. All the audio from your mic only plays in the left earpiece/speaker. Other than that still great content and thanks for taking the time to share and inform.
I am installing 18 Irrigreen heads in my yard. Going to water 32,000 square feet with just 18 heads. Amazing!
If I lived closer I’d help out free of charge! Doing any yard work, or farm work for that matter, it’s therapeutic for me honestly! This hard and smart work you’re doing will pay off tenfold in the long run Pete!👊🏽
Pete! Myyyy brotha. If your yard was a vehicle, this would be your third frame off restoration! You are relentless my man! That new irrigation is so cool! Andni love that you are bringing the pump into the shed. Hey what ever happened to the all black mower? I think you should black out all of your equipment and really mess em up! All black F350 all black Ven Trac! What what???!!! I guess not the most practical in that North Cackalack heat but you gotta admit it would be cool!! Keep it up man.
Would be nice if you centered that mic so my right ear could hear better next video. Appreciate ya
Pete you’re a proper grafter, big time. ✊
Man brother you've been missed. That's some hard work. As always love that music. Love the water system. Truly amazing.
Awesome work!!! I agree 100 percent with Jeffrey, you have to be one of the hardest working guys I know. I was glad to see the trencher, because at first I thought you were digging the irrigation in with that trenching shovel. LOL!!! I will say, I know the feeling of working in 100 degree days and having to change clothes or take a shower a couple times a day. At one point last week, my plants were all wet and I thought I spilt my gallon of drinking water on me that I carry in my truck, but it was all sweat. Pants were soaked, shirt and my hat. I'm glad we are heading into the cooler months, because August here in Maryland was brutal with the heat and heavy rain (plus the tornado here in Annapolis and Edgewater). I can't wait to see the complete irrigation video install. Have a great day!!!
I have an acre lot here in Texas and the thought of irrigating the entire acre always scared me due to cost of the system and then the monthly water bill. I heard of this system a week or so again and now you’re installing it. I think this is a more viable option for me then expanding my current system and changing all the heads to Hunter MP Rotators. Keep up the great videos!
Great job
Wow, this is cool. Saves water, saves money. Looking forward to the completed project. Thank you for sharing. John
It's amazing how I mentioned something similar to this, and I got berated in the comment section about how there would be "too many wires and too many faults" and blah blah blah.
Almost like people just don't want to try new things. I'm glad you did it this way, honestly.
Hard graft Pete........keep going pal.
Morning!
Good morning George!
Mowing at night and filling ditches at night too. 👍
All your hard work will pay off! Fantastic job Pete!! 👍
Look at you working after dark. Wow
That's really cool that they have heads now that can do that. This eliminates watering pavement and sidewalks.
If only Toronto was closer to you Pete, I’d love to help you on some of these projects.
He’ll pay your round-trip airfare! 😉
Problem is, Canada is not letting anybody in their country. You might have to stay here and become one of Pete’s roommates! 😂🤣
Hey Pete, so glad you made this video. I just found out about Irrigreen and did the build your system. I love the concept and think it’s gonna be a game changer. Please keep us all posted on how they work out. I’m thinking of pulling the trigger for next year. I value your opinion and look forward to your results.
Great Job Pete!! That irrigreen system is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.. I’m looking at getting them for my property.. definitely will save on water waste that we pay for
The Irrigreen is the future for underground irrigation. Simply amazing.
I'm working to irrigate my lawn and now I'm going to have to look into that Irrigreen
I was just researching the Irrigreen system last week and hadn't thought of the new lawn establishment issue from that head design. Good catch thinking about that!
Impressive work as usual!
I saw the Irrigreen system a few years ago, and thought it was fascinating technology. I'm super excited to see how this works out for you!
Pete my man you wear me out just watching you work. great job. Hope you get some rest soon.
Sweet system Pete! Shoulda emailed me! Ill come help ya anytime!!! It sure as heck has been hot the past few weeks like you mentioned. Glad the cooler weather finally rolled in few days ago!
I didn’t even think about you bro. My bad. I will next time
Incredible technology and exactly what I need. Thanks for sharing and showing this
I was hoping you'd cover this Irregreen system. Seen it on another channel and was like, dang, Pete needs to try this! Hope to see more. Thanks, Pete!
You would be one awesome Dad, Pete.
The things a son could learn from you, is inspiring.
I have 3 kids. They could care less about yard work.
Late bloomers like me 😉
That hit me in the feels tho pete.
I had no farther growing up, witch is probably why I would of loved having someone with your work ethic around.
Work hard, sleep hard lol. You looked beat in ya laying seed video today. Have a day off please.
You have so many cool “toys”…how about one of those nifty little hand trenchers if nothing else 😝
I started at 7:30 this morning on my back yard renovation and got down around 3 gonna get back on it tomorrow and finish up
WOW your one hard working dude . Cool stuff .
The Irrigreen is something im looking at for our new house in a few years.
I'm very interested in this irrigation system Pete. Glad I found you to do all the testing for me!! 😁
Man…. Talk about cutting edge stuff! Tanks for sharing this awesome tech bro!
MAN! I've missed so much. What happened to the parcels? LOL! I definitely need to catch up. Bless you Pete.
Over the weekends we just keep getting a little older but we are still bad ass enough.
Man I picked up a few yards of premium top soil to use to level and seed my renovated fescue yard....the dang top soil is full of what I just killed off..BERMUDA....dang it
Surprised you didn't use a trencher machine. That's some grueling labor Pete.
Hope seed is now down so you can relax and recoup. Weather is cooling too.
Have a great Labor Day weekend!
A ton of the value in Irrigreen is reduced costs through less materials and less work because less trenching required. Impressive the amount of work and dedication, but it would probably be great to just have a temporary above ground system... maybe some staking to keep the hoses off of the ground, or something. Regardless, I am hoping you have great results. I love watching your videos.
Oh, and on the Irrigreen... the square system is super cool, however, hexagonal pattern would likely be better for larger yards. You would end up needing fewer Irrigreen boxes because it will be closer to the maximum throw at more times, but still eliminate the overlap of a completely circular pattern.
Really cool stuff. Thx for sharing
Man brother I wish I could help you I wanna do my own in ground irrigation in because its so expansive here but its such a blessing to have it!!!
God bless my friend. Just to advise to give a disclaimer before recommending Lawn Services.
I have been buried doing it.
People's have been ripped off.
God Bless
I don’t know man I think I like rotors a lot better. Your work ethic is A+ though.
I've been seeing a lot of videos on the irragreen system and they look amazing. I would love to upgrade my system to that but don't wanna tear my yard up.
Can’t wait to see that new system work!!👍
been looking at the irrigreen for about a month now. great video, the others i saw didnt actually show the app being used.
Wish we would have thought to save some of that sod to lay around those Irrigreen heads. Might have saved a bit of labor and pipe! At least I know to do that before I install my Irrigreen system! 👍 Great project!
Good Texas mornin' to ya!
I’d love to come to Texas!!!
You're always welcome, just let us know.
I got an idea. I always like modifying things to make them work and I’ve seen you do the same. I think if you take some screen from a window screen and cut it just bigger than
orifice and either tuck it inside the main housing or secure it so it can be removed later. Put that over the bottom jet or bottom two and it’ll be a little lighter if a mist. Might try it. Let me know what you think
I installed mine front yard and backyard. I hand dug everything and my neighbor didn’t help either 🤦🏾. It was a haaaarrddd job. But I had to get it ready for cool blue. Wish I would’ve known about this irrigation system last year
I feel you brother on the brutalness. I'm in the process of building a patio and I've been building since July without any fancy machinery. The weather is butal!
Please tell me you broke out the ventrac trencher between takes 😂.
Lord yes
6:52 This embodies my exact thoughts since I'm in the same situation
Pete you know I'd come down from New Jersey anytime to give you a hand ( free labor) and im extremely meticulous myself !! Just another neighbor from another state lol anytime bud .
Can't believe ventrac hasn't made you a trenching attachment! Great video! Can't find a well driller in my area or I would irrigate my 2 acres in a heartbeat!
I used the ventrac trencher. I clean the ditches out with that shovel. I didn’t dig all the ditches with a shovel 😂
Asks neighbor: « Can you help me? » Neighbor: disappears from the frame🤣🤣🤣
But good shit man. I feel ur pain. I do gravel yards for fresh installs
Hello Pete follow you for years I am a born again Christian. Just wanted to say you should have a disclaimer before recommending lawn services
I have done that several times and have gotten burned. The company's have ripped people off and than they call me about it. God Bless my friend.
Blue diamond
Great vid, Pete. Look forward to see if that bottom nossle will eventually create dips in the lawn...
Yeah I did notice that too.
Looked like it make a big puddle in just 10mins.
Doesn’t create dips. When you program the shape it’s obviously spraying in one direction for much longer than it would while it’s running a cycle. It’s definitely gonna create a puddle when you set it up because you’re gonna be playing with the tech. Trust me, I reprogrammed mine several times the first week just showing the neighbors 😂
How do you keep water lines from freezing during winter?
Pete, Labor Day weekend man. Take the 3 days and relax. Watch the grass grow.
And we know Pete won't stop. I agree though, I'd love to see a short video of Pete sitting in a lawn chair, drinking his favorite soda, watching the seed pop up. Queue time-lapse video
Awesome effort Pete, will the Irrigreen system self compensate for the difference in pressure for if/when you use the booster pump?
💥🇺🇲🖐😎 Get your sprinklers right!
This new system looks incredible. Hopefully it will be reliable.
PS: I have a irrigation system like you use to have. hose and sprinkler then move it to next spot. LOL You really looked hot brother be safe and smart. Your not 20 anymore. LOL Man I remember when I could work like that but not any more. They would have to call 911 for me
Pete there’s something wrong with audio lately. It only comes out on left side when wearing headphones
I hate using pvc for running irrigation lines. I only use 1 ¼ black polly lines
Pete, what is your current booster pump that you have in your building for your sprinkler system?
Hey Pete, first off I'm jealous of the irrigation system..
Second. Your last couple of videos have had only Left channel for sound. I'm not sure if you are aware of that.
Kickin your Butt Son ! Hahaha. You should try it at 63 yeras old. Well, thanks to your vidoes, I've purchased all this fertilizer, Bio Stimulants, Sprinklers, Back pack sprayers, Adjuvant, PH testing equipment, and on and on. SO...guess who killed off their front yard, cut it, cut it more, dethached it, cut it some more, brought in topsoil, etc. Guess who is getting ready to Aerate, and run a split seeder on Thursday? YOU GUESSED IT... This 63 year old :) I didn't realize my neighbors kept up with my yard so much until I killed it, Hahahaha They've come out of the woodwork. But, it's going to look great when I'm finished. GCI Cool Blue Bluegrass baby! Here's to Kickin your Butt! PTL oh my Soul. Don / Salem, Va.
Really cool sprinkler. Pete i live in south Alabama and have warm season grass. I watch all your videos and wonder why Don't more people use hydro seeding ? It eliminates most of the problems you run into when seeding. Just curious
I had to bust through sod and dig a 96 ft trench around 42 inch deep for a drywell. I died 3 times during the process. Realized that 100 fee for a trencher was well worth it.
Great video Pete. What irrigation pump are you using?
Pete use quick disconnect at the pump for winterizing the system for cooler weather
Pete gushing over his irrigation system is like me getting new Jeep parts..
Is there a ditch witch shortage or something? Hard work. Thanks for the content
This system is crazy cool but super expensive. Easily 3X. But very cool
