Avocado Water Demands
Avocados are thirsty trees:
- Mature tree: 40-70 gallons per day in summer
- Per acre: 4-6 acre-feet per year
- Critical periods: Fruit set and sizing
A reliable well is essential for profitable avocado production in San Bernardino County.
Well Systems for Avocado Groves
- High-capacity agricultural wells
- Storage tanks for peak demand periods
- Drip irrigation systems for efficiency
- Micro-sprinklers for young trees
- Pressure regulation for uniform coverage
Chloride Sensitivity
Avocados are highly sensitive to chloride in irrigation water. If your Mentone well has elevated chloride:
- Blending with lower-chloride water source
- Leaching irrigation to flush salts
- Rootstock selection for salt tolerance

We test well water for avocado-critical parameters.

Avocado Grove Well Service Solutions for Mentone Properties
As a Mentone property owner with a private well, you rely on your water system daily. The local geology in San Bernardino County — deep alluvial basins and mountain granite — creates unique challenges that require experienced, local technicians who understand the area.
