Innovative Water Management Techniques

The DeSantis Landscapes water management program uses advanced irrigation technology to promote water conservation. As a Weathermatic Premier Partner, we integrate smart irrigation systems that provide real-time monitoring and data-driven insights to optimize water usage. This is done to protect healthy plant growth and will hopefully result in significant cost savings for you. 

By minimizing waste and employing drought-tolerant strategies, our approach also benefits the community by reducing resource strain. We're determined to help landscapes thrive while responsibly managing water resources. 

• Smart Irrigation Controllers: We utilize advanced controllers that adjust watering schedules based on weather data, reducing waste and promoting plant health.
• Drought-Resistant Landscaping: Our designs incorporate drought-tolerant plants and materials that conserve water and maintain aesthetic appeal.

Plant Healthcare & Sustainability

Our experienced team emphasizes the use of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to enhance plant health and vitality. IPM employs a strategic blend of biological controls, proactive monitoring, and cultural practices to effectively prevent and manage pest and disease issues. This method has minimal risk to people and the environment while fostering the long-term health of plants. 

By utilizing natural and organic alternatives, such as compost tea, our program maintains balanced soil nutrition, proper pH levels, and robust root health. We designed this holistic approach to serve two goals-- support resilient plant growth and to create a safer, chemical-free landscape for families and wildlife.

• Regular Assessments: We conduct regular health checks for your plants to detect early signs of issues and address them promptly.
• Sustainable Treatments: Our solutions use natural ingredients to ensure the safety of both the flora and the surrounding ecosystem.

Snow & Ice Management Services

When winter comes, businesses need peace of mind that their snow and ice will be removed in a timely and thorough manner. Icy lots are a risk to safety and can become a major source of liability exposure. 

Our proactive approach includes pretreating surfaces, efficient snowplowing, and effective de-icing practices, all aimed at preventing hazardous conditions like slippery entrances and icy parking lots. With 50 years of experience in managing Oregon's winter weather, we provide 24/7 monitoring and emergency preparedness to maintain operational continuity. 

• Prescheduled Management: We work with clients to arrange preemptive snow removal plans that ensure timely action.
