Services
Alpenglow Sprinkler and Landscaping Inc. was started in June of 1985 when Brad and his wife Michelle moved to Fort Collins after a four-and-a-half-year stint in the Roaring Fork Valley.
There Brad learned the irrigation trade installing and servicing sprinkler systems from Glenwood Springs to Aspen, CO.
During the off season, he pursued his true passion of skiing while working as a lift operator and bus driver for the Aspen Highlands Skiing Corporation.
Although the young couple moved to Fort Collins in April of 1985, Brad decided to do some research to become better prepared to enter the Fort Collins irrigation market.

Alpenglow Sprinkler has always held in high esteem the industry's attempt to standardize the qualifications of technicians in the field.
The certification opportunities the Irrigation Association (IA) and the National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP) offer are an attempt to lend a more professional image to an otherwise unregulated industry.
In doing so, you, the consumer, can be assured that at least a minimum industry standard requirement was met by a given certified candidate who was able to prove a certain degree of professional proficiency in doing his/her job.

Manufacturers of irrigation products have achieved significant results in water conversation through technological advances in the recent past.
Advances in nozzle design, "smart" controller technology, rain and soil moisture sensors and pressure regulating heads have lead the way in this water conserving effort.
Fortunately, the City of Ft.
Collins is being proactive and has extended for another season the rebate program for having these water saving products installed in your yard.
The amount of the rebate depends on the type of products installed and the dollar amount involved.

Rain Bird Sprinkler Manufacturing Corporation has been a leader in the design and manufacturing of sprinkler components dating back to 1935 when it first bought the patent for the horizontal action impact sprinkler from it's inventor, Orton Engelhart.
The company was founded in Azusa, CA by Clement and Mary Lafetra whose descendants still own the privately held company.
In the early 1980's Rain Bird developed one of the first plastic spray heads on the market which was spring loaded with a stainless steel spring.

If you are at all "weather aware" then you have probably noticed that very little, if any, irrigation was needed to supplement Mother Nature's rainfall until well into June in 2019.
If you had your sprinkler system turned on prior to mid-June and didn't turn it "off" nor have a working rain sensor, then you most likely had the opportunity to pick mushrooms in your yard between mowings.
This made for interesting ice formations caused by any lawn irrigation systems that weren't turned off or didn't have a working freeze sensor attached to their system.
