Four Ways We Work on Irrigation
From one clogged emitter to a new system across an HOA common area, the same crew that maintains your landscape can run the water to it.
Irrigation Repair
We run every zone, trace the problem to its source, and replace only what has failed.
✓ Leak locating and pipe repair
✓ Valves, solenoids and wiring
✓ Clogged, sun-rotted or chewed drip line
✓ Controllers that skip days or will not shut off
✓ Freeze-damaged backflow and risers
Irrigation Installation
Complete systems for new landscapes, plus tie-ins when plants are added to an existing property.
✓ Drip for trees, shrubs, cacti and pots
✓ Spray and rotor heads for turf
✓ Smart, weather-aware controllers
✓ Converting thirsty spray zones to drip
✓ Pressure regulators and filters at every valve
Irrigation Design
A Mesquite, a Bird of Paradise and a patch of lawn all want different water. The layout should say so.
✓ Zones grouped by how much water plants need
✓ Emitter count and flow sized to each plant
✓ Pressure and flow checked before pipe is sized
✓ Room to move emitters outward as trees grow
✓ A drawn plan of valves and lines that you keep
Irrigation Maintenance
Small leaks waste water for months before anyone notices. Scheduled visits catch them early.
✓ Controllers reprogrammed each season
✓ Lines flushed and filters cleaned
✓ Every emitter and head checked while running
✓ Valve boxes opened and inspected
✓ Backflow wrapped ahead of winter freezes
Leak Signs
What Your Landscape Is Telling You
Most irrigation calls start with one of these. If something on the left looks familiar, the right column is where we usually look first.
What you notice
Likely cause
A wet spot that never dries
Cracked pipe or split drip tubing below the surface
One zone keeps running after the others stop
Debris or a worn diaphragm holding a valve open
A zone will not come on at all
Failed solenoid, cut wire, or a controller fault
The water bill jumped with no change in schedule
An underground leak or a valve that weeps around the clock
Plants at the far end of a line are wilting
Clogged emitters or pressure lost to a leak upstream
Spray heads put out fog instead of drops
Pressure too high for the heads; the zone needs regulation
Water dripping from the backflow preventer
Worn seals, or a crack from a hard freeze
Seasonal Scheduling
Watering Changes With the Season
A controller left on its July schedule in January wastes water and rots roots. This is the general pattern we program for the Sonoran Desert.
Mar to May
Spring
Step the schedule up as days warm. Good time for a full system check.
June
Dry summer
Peak demand. Run before sunrise and water deep so roots follow it down.
Jul to Sep
Monsoon
Skip cycles after a good storm. A rain sensor does this for you.
Oct to Nov
Fall
Step the schedule back down as nights cool.
Dec to Feb
Winter
Least water of the year. Protect exposed pipe and backflow from freezes.
Bars show relative water use, not exact run times. We set the actual schedule on site for your plants, soil and sun exposure.

FAQ
Common Questions
Drip or sprinklers?
Drip for trees, shrubs, cacti and pots, because it puts water at the roots and loses little to evaporation. Spray heads are for lawn. Mixing both on one valve is a common mistake we correct.
How often should desert plants be watered?
Established desert trees do best with deep soaks spaced well apart. New plantings need water more often until they root in. We set a schedule for what is on your property.
Can you work on a system someone else installed?
Yes. Most of our repair work is on systems we did not build. We map the valves and zones first so nothing is a guess.
Do you handle HOA and commercial properties?
Yes, that is most of our work. We can fold irrigation checks into a regular landscape maintenance contract so common areas are inspected on a schedule.
