Q: What is Rain Bird Services Corporation?
Rain Bird Services Corporation is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rain Bird Corporation, a privately-held company founded in 1933 and the leading manufacturer and provider of irrigation products and services.

For more detailed product and service information, please contact us.
Q: Why do I need help from Rain Bird Services Corporation?
Today's economic climate and environmental pressures require many companies to save money and water. We've found that many of our customers haven't fully optimized their irrigation central control system, which can result in lost opportunities to save time, money and water. In addition, when landscapes are over-watered, pests and diseases thrive, which requires using chemicals to treat the problem. These fertilizers and chemicals will run off with the excess water, which could pollute riparian environments. We can help you maximize the effectiveness of your irrigation system, which can result in cost savings as well as water conservation, while having less impact on the environment. In addition, we offer training services to help your staff get up to speed on maintaining and operating your irrigation system.
Q: What economic benefits will I realize using Rain Bird Services Corporation?
Saving water will save money. An optimized irrigation system will help you save on repair and maintenance costs. We do apply fewer pest- and disease-control chemicals; however, if their application is necessary, we make sure these chemicals stay where they are without running off, which makes them more effective. In addition, we make sure to minimize the amount of water runoff onto asphalt paving, which extends its life and could save you significant repair costs. Finally, a fully-trained staff can help eliminate miscues that cost time and money.
Q: How much water will I save if I use Rain Bird Services Corporation?
The percentage of water savings will vary from site to site and installation to installation. However, our results often show water savings of 20% (and sometimes even more) with an undeniable improvement in the look and quality of the landscape.
Q: How much do these services cost?
Costs will also vary depending on circumstances, your needs and your installation. You could get started for as little as a few thousand dollars. However, the services we provide quickly pay for themselves in money saved or improved landscape performance.
Q: Currently, I don't have any Rain Bird products. Can I still take advantage of your services?
Absolutely. We provide products and services to customers who use Rain Bird products as well as other brands of irrigation equipment and central control systems. Our employees are fully trained and experienced in maintaining a large number of these systems.
Q: Do I have to purchase any Rain Bird or other products to qualify for your services?
No. Depending on the results of an on-site evaluation, we may make product and system modification recommendations that will improve the efficiency of your system and the look and quality of the landscape.
Q: Can I maintain the relationship with my distributor and contract with Rain Bird Services Corporation?
Yes! Rain Bird Services Corporation has close working relationships with distributors in California, Arizona and Colorado. You can always purchase products from any distributor, including central control products from the authorized distributor for your area.
Q: Can I select different services “`à la carte” or am I obligated to buy all the services?
You can select different services “`à la carte"—many of our current customers began their relationship with us by doing exactly that. On the other hand, many customers will commit to a full program because of their requirements. The system you use, your budget and a system assessment will help us determine which products and services will work best for your situation.
Q: How long before I realize the benefits of your services?
This depends on your particular situation. Many customers have seen benefits almost immediately; others see benefits within several months. Our data collection service will help us understand your situation and provide a better estimate of when you will begin to see cost and water savings.
