Design Guide

Narrow, linear tree and shrub plantings require narrow, linear sub-
surface grids consisting of two to four laterals. More intense plant-
ings that provide a complete foliage canopy at maturity require a
grid design that applies uniform moisture levels within the foliage
canopy (turf, groundcover, and dense shrub and tree plantings).
Use the Spacing Guidelines Table (Table 1.2) to determine the
proper emitter and lateral spacing.
