Experience

Keesen has extensive experience with every aspect of landscape irrigation systems. Larry designed, constructed and serviced irrigation systems for 22 years prior to establishing his design, evaluation and consulting firm in 1982. This experience has provided Keesen with a better understanding of system function and maintenance problems. This helps Keesen Water Management to design a better system that uses less water, has lower maintenance costs and reasonable construction costs. Larry is one of the founders of the Xeriscape program, has authored many publications and presented numerous seminars and design schools.
