About UsUnderhill International Corporation has been a familiar name to irrigation industry professionals since 1980. Headquartered in Irvine, California, USA, the company is an innovative manufacturer of water-saving irrigation products for golf courses, sports fields, commercial and residential installations.
The company was founded by industry professional Gary Underhill. He was well-known in landscape irrigation and had been affiliated with Rain Bird since the 1960s. Underhill had an ambitious goal: to lead in the formation of a consortium of major international companies dedicated to the development of large-scale agricultural projects around the world, utilizing modern irrigation technology and products. This forward-thinking consortium participated in the successful development of nearly 100,000 acres of efficiently irrigated farmland in many third-world countries.
Since the mid-1980s Underhill International has exported products from leading U.S. companies, including Hunter Industries, Bear Irrigation, Weathermatic, Chapin Watermatics, Nelson Irrigation, Bucker Irrigation and Vista Professional Outdoor Lighting. In addition, Underhill has distributed many other complementary products through an international network that includes hundreds of distributors.
In 1996 the Underhill commitment to the industry was expanded when Ed Underhill joined the company. Working his way through the ranks, today Ed Underhill heads up the firm as President and partners in the company’s sales and marketing activities with Ken Newcomb, who came on board in 2021. Newcomb has been affiliated with the golf, turf, and landscape irrigation industry for more than 20 years.
Underhill expanded into manufacturing in 2005 and has developed an extensive line of water-saving products for golf courses, sports fields, commercial and residential installations. The company has become an industry leader in 2Wire control systems with the introduction of controllers, programmers, and decoders. The Underhill name is also well-known in the golf world as the manufacturer of Profile golf nozzles, proven water-savers now installed on prestigious courses across the U.S.
As the Underhill product line continues to grow, the company’s sprinklers, valves, controllers, and irrigation accessories are widely recognized in the industry and installed at many prestigious facilities from high schools to private universities, Little League to Major League Baseball fields, municipal golf courses to Top 100 private country clubs, and individual homes to Fortune 500 facility headquarters.

"We had donuts around our Toro 670 heads, so I gave Underhill a call and the rest is history! |

Charles Hadwick |
"Anyone irrigating with Toro® Model 690 sprinkler would be foolish not to consider upgrading to Underhill Profile™ spreaders, we have seen a dramatic improvement in coverage since installing them" |
|
|
Bruce Williams,CGCS |
"Underhill Profile™ replaced the nozzles on 2000 heads at Los Angeles Country Club, we have no more donuts since then. Quality work and we are very pleased." |

Clint - Irrigation Technician |
"Since installing the Undrhill Profile™ nozzle in our Toro® 670 & 750 sprinklers we have nearly eliminated the black layer in our greens because we can manage our water so much more precisely" |
|

Phil Fitzgerald Superintendent |
"...with the Underhill Profile™ nozzles, we don’t have a single ring around sprinklers like we had before." |
|
|
Doug Jones |
"We just completed aerating fairways and in the past we would always see dry spots in several of the same spots. Those areas where we had installed the Underhill Profile™ nozzles in our RB51 heads didn't show the same historical hot spots as in years past, I'm a believer now!" |

Jack Mackenzie |
"From all indications so far, your nozzles kick butt! Combining an increased pressure at the pump of 10 psi with your tips has reduced my "donuts" and almost eliminated my wet centers. Thank you so much for your help. Look for an endorsement in the Turf-Net forum" |
|
|
DJorge ( George) Bartolomeu |
"The Proof is in our turf quality, no more wet areas next to the heads and dry centers of patterns" |

"Installing Underhill 2Wire doesn't require any special equipment or tools. We use the same valves that we are familiar with ...even the line is typical irrigation wire... and we're happier pulling just two wires, rather than old school multi-wire." | |
| Paul Pankow General Superintendent, Byrom Davey San Diego, CA |
"...it's more economical to install, easier to maintain and easily expands. Our crew prefers working with Underhill 2Wire... it took just a day of training and they had it figured out." | |
| DEEP DRIP |

| Bonnie Higgins Baker's Nursery Owner Phoenix, AZ |
Just wanted to let you know that I love your "Deep Drip" Tree Watering Stakes. Recently, one of the trees on my property was not doing well, and the main issue was that it was planted on a berm which made it very difficult to keep water around it. The water kept running down the berm and away from the tree. I came across your Deep Drip Tree Watering Stakes and I pounded two of them into the ground - one on either side of the dying tree. I also added tree fertilizer into the shaft and connected my drip line to the stakes. It was easy to use and I will have you know that the tree has never looked better! What was once a sickly looking tree, is now a healthy, vibrant, leafy green tree. I am so impressed with your tree watering stakes that I just had to write and tell you my experience. Now, all the water goes down to the roots instead of down the hill. Way to go Deep Drip! I got my tree back - thank you so much. | |

I can't say enough about how well Deep Drip works. Our newly planted tree was dying shortly after planting it, and we just could not get it to come back. We live in Arizona where it is HOT, so something needed to be done. One of the guys at our nursery introduced us to Deep Drip and our tree has never looked healthier and continues to flourish. I would recommend this product to anyone. Thanks. |

I was introduced to Deep Drip at the recent Water Expo hosted by the local water/power company and purchased a couple of your 'minor miracles' for a tree that was fading a little. To put them to the torture test I used my trusty 3 pound sledge hammer to drive it into completely dry soil – ‘Arizona Pack’ infused with small rocks. I pounded until my arm was very tired and the device was about 18-inches in and nary a crack appeared in the cap, then I added water through a hose to finish the process. The second one I got started about 4 inches in and then added water, this one went in very quickly, I highly recommend the second procedure, saves on arm fatigue. |
