About Baseline

Thank you for considering Baseline for your irrigation project. We’re confident Baseline will not only save you time and money on the installation of your irrigation system, but you’ll also conserve a lot of water while maintaining a beautiful landscape.

As you know, water conservation is a significant issue.  Each day, 58% of domestic water used is applied to landscapes and the EPA estimates that up to half of that water is wasted! Billions of gallons of water are wasted every day. It’s no wonder that conservation-focused irrigation has become a priority for the irrigation industry. Consumers and organizations are demanding products that increase watering efficiency without sacrificing the health of their landscapes. Baseline is at the forefront by developing technologies that conserve water, are easier to install and maintain, and promote the healthiest and most beautiful landscapes possible.
