testimonials
We take pride in the feedback received from businesses acrosss Connecticut.
I have worked with Mark Twiss for many years. I have great respect for his knowledge, commitment and oversight of our landscape irrigation system. He is responsive to our questions and any need for service work. Seasonal maintenance optimizes the function of the system. Repairs by his well-trained crew are taken care of in a timely fashion, and I am always kept informed of the status of the system overall. Mark recognizes our desire to have healthy, watered lawns, but he is also committed to water conservation and offers insights into how we can best control the water usage on our property. He has helped us lower our overall water usage, saving us funds for other needs throughout the community. We are currently in the process of getting a newly dug well operational, and his input has been extremely helpful in making sure it will provide optimal service. It is a pleasure working with Mark throughout the year.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the tremendous service you provide to The Greens at Gillette Ridge. In the summer, the grounds are pristine and the lawns finely manicured. During the snowy winters, your crew quickly and efficiently makes our roadways and sidewalks safe and passable. Two other local companies have preceded you in servicing the grounds and none have been able to accomplish what you have achieved on a daily basis. Thank you for your continued excellence.
Mark Twiss and the crew at D.W. Burr have helped me greatly in the management of water conservation for the past couple of seasons. The new technologies such as the Irritrol Climate Logic System that he introduced to us have shown significant water savings in a short period of time, in turn helping save money. The crew from D.W. Burr have been very easy to work with and Mark’s knowledge of irrigation systems has been a great tool for me to use when trying to improve the quality of the properties.

Custom Lawn & Garden Systems
Tailored irrigation sustains custom lawn and garden systems by precisely delivering water, optimizing growth with efficient techniques and smart technologies such as web based smart controllers and sensors.
Drip & MicroIrrigation
These systems provide targeted water delivery directly to plant roots, minimizing waste and promoting water efficiency in custom lawn and garden setups.
Two-Wire Irrigation Systems
Two-wire irrigation systems offer several advantages in water management, primarily due to their flexibility, efficiency, and diagnostic capabilities. They allow for precise control over irrigation zones, enabling more efficient water use and potentially reducing water waste. This is achieved through features like smart decoders that provide feedback to the controller, enabling better irrigation decisions
and diagnostics.
Two-wire systems often include diagnostic features that can identify issues like leaks or damaged wires, allowing for quicker and more effective repairs and reducing water loss.
Rid O Rust & EZ Flo Fertigation Injection
The Rid O Rust prevention formulas prevent well water rust staining.
EZ Flo provides simple, automatic, proportional injection systems.
Evapotranspiration Systems/Weather Station Systems
Evapotranspiration systems calculate temperature, solar radiation, relative humidity, and wind speed. The amount of water that evaporates from the soil surface or is used by the plant. The Davis weather station system calculates ET AND rainfall.

What we do
Rain Harvesting Systems
A rainwater harvesting system consists of a method to collect, divert, store, filter and distribute water into the landscape. Systems are designed to collect the amount of water required for landscape irrigation minus rainfall or if not, enough collection surface is available to supplement with municipal water or groundwater.
Of course, using an efficient irrigation method and resource efficient plants will greatly reduce the amount of irrigation required.
Automatic Organic/Sand Filtration System
When sand and dirt get inside your home’s water supply it restricts flow, clogs faucets and plugs sprinkler heads. The easy solution to removing sand and dirt is to install a Sand Separator. These separators remove sand and dirt continuously with no moving parts, cartridges to change, or screens to clean. Equipped with an automated purge valve flushes sand out of the separator automatically; Zero maintenance!
