About Irrigation System Solutions
Irrigation System Solutions was co-founded by Phil and Debbie Sheppard. After acquiring over 30 years of landscape irrigation experience and 20 years of graphic design expertise, Irrigation System Solutions was founded to provide landscape irrigation training to new and seasoned irrigators. Landscape irrigation classes for state licensing, as well as continuing education units (CEU’s) classes are offered. Our goal to provide unparalleled landscape irrigation training by combining experienced professional teaching skills with our own personally developed training books and resources. One of the many reasons our company excels in training is our genuine care and dedication to teaching students. Our book, the “Landscape Irrigation Training and Reference Manual” is used by over 80% of Texas for professional irrigation training.
A large part of our training is focused on the education, promotion, support and practice of water conservation by promoting landscape irrigation designs with greater uniformity. This includes proper head selection and spacing, hydrozoning, pressure regulation, use of freeze, rain, wind and soil sensors, and proper scheduling and maintenance.
Training aids include state-of-the-art power point presentation slides, digital photos of products, professional irrigation training video (produced exclusively by our company), and actual product samples for hands-on learning. Each student (after classroom training) will has access to our email and phone if extra assistance if needed.
Phil’s dad, Homer Sheppard (Texas License #247), was a driving force that inspired our training classes. He was devoted to unmatched excellence in irrigation and customer service, introducing Phil to the irrigation business. We can still picture him wearing his safari hat and saying, “Continue to march, boys,” or “Great day in the morning,” when confronting a particularly difficult irrigation situation.
Thanks to this business, we have been able to work with family and best friends. I sincerely hope we can instill our passion and enthusiasm for this industry to you and make for an enjoyable training experience and subsequent career working with water.
