Why we exist.

We live, work, and raise our children in Central Oregon. We love what Central Oregon is.  We believe resilient communities can be created without sacrificing the green spaces that bring comfort and balance to high desert living. The beauty, tranquility, and function they provide can be maintained through smarter processes.

We are stewards of this land, and we believe that passing a healthy, thriving community on to the next generation is a basic responsibility. We exist to provide the tools, and guide property owners and decision makers who embrace this responsibility.

We are all in this together.

Our foundation

Deep Green was founded by Chad Knight in 2023, out of a strong desire to make a lasting impact on the future of water in the west. A lifelong Oregonian and US Navy veteran, Chad has an engineering degree from Oregon State University – Cascades, and has lived in Central Oregon for over 15 years.

Chad also owns Deschutes Backflow & Irrigation (DBI), which has been servicing and installing high-quality irrigation systems in Central Oregon for over 12 years. DBI’s experience is the foundation behind Deep Green. Years of working directly with homeowners, HOAs, and stakeholders in the high desert have provided deep insight into the real-world challenges of irrigation here — from variable soils and bedrock, to freeze cycles and long-term system reliability.

Deep Green wasn’t built in a lab. It was built from the field.

Because of this connection, Deep Green customers are not simply purchasing technology.  They are supported by a seasoned team of irrigation professionals who understand how systems perform over time. Installation, service, troubleshooting, and long-term optimization are backed by a company that has been solving irrigation challenges in Central Oregon for more than a decade.

Deep Green is more than a technology platform. It stands on a proven operational foundation.

OUR VISION

With a passion for solving the hard problems, Deep Green is shaping the future of sustainable, water-wise landscapes in the west.  Through new technologies and innovative processes, we are empowering the stewards of this land we call home.

And creating a better future for those who come next.
