Every yard I design starts with the water.

Where it runs. How much. What it feeds. Get that right and the rest holds up.

For that, I work with Taylor Allgood of Allgood Irrigation. He's the irrigation specialist.

Taylor does repairs, new installs, clocks and valves. I design the yard. Taylor builds the water side. We work jobs together around Napa Valley.

Taylor's a close friend too, and, like me, the dad of a toddler boy.
