Question 1

How much does irrigation system installation cost in Dallas?

Accepted Answer

Installation costs typically range from $3,500-$8,500 for residential properties, depending on lot size, landscape complexity, and system specifications. Factors include property square footage, number of zones needed, controller type (basic vs. smart), soil conditions, and drainage requirements. We provide transparent, itemized quotes with no hidden fees. Financing options are available for qualified customers.

Question 2

What's the difference between basic and smart controllers?

Accepted Answer

Basic controllers operate on fixed schedules that you manually adjust seasonally. Smart controllers (like Hunter Hydrawise and Rachio) automatically adjust watering based on real-time weather data, temperature, humidity, rainfall, and seasonal changes. They provide remote smartphone control, leak detection alerts, and water usage tracking. Most clients save 25-40% on water bills with smart controllers, paying for the upgrade within 2-3 years.

Question 3

How long does installation take?

Accepted Answer

Most residential installations take 2-5 days depending on property size and complexity. Our process includes trenching and pipe installation (Day 1-2), head placement and wiring (Day 2-3), controller setup and calibration (Day 4), and final testing and training (Day 5). We provide an exact timeline in your proposal and work efficiently while maintaining our precision installation standards.

Question 4

Do you offer financing options?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we partner with leading home improvement financing providers to offer flexible payment plans for qualified customers. Options include 12, 24, and 36-month plans with competitive rates. Financing is available for installations over $3,000. Apply online or during your consultation-approval typically takes minutes.

Question 5

Will installation damage my existing landscape?

Accepted Answer

Our technicians take great care to minimize landscape disruption. We use specialized trenching equipment that creates narrow, clean cuts. Turf is carefully removed, saved, and replaced after pipe installation. We always restore your property to pristine condition, removing all debris and repairing any disturbance. Most lawns show no trace of installation within 2-3 weeks.

Question 6

How do smart controllers save water?

Accepted Answer

Smart controllers eliminate water waste through several features: (1) Weather-based scheduling adjusts for rainfall, temperature, and humidity; (2) Seasonal adjustment automatically increases/decreases run times; (3) Soil moisture tracking prevents overwatering; (4) Rain delay automatically skips scheduled watering; (5) Leak detection alerts you to problems immediately. These features combine to reduce water usage 25-40% compared to traditional timers.

Question 7

What warranty do you provide?

Accepted Answer

We provide a comprehensive 2-year warranty on all installation labor and a 5-year warranty on major components (pipes, valves, controller). Sprinkler heads and nozzles carry a 2-year warranty. All equipment also includes manufacturer warranties (typically 3-5 years). We stand behind our work-if issues arise, we'll fix them promptly at no charge during the warranty period.

Question 8

Can you work with my existing irrigation system?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We frequently repair, upgrade, and expand existing systems. During our assessment, we'll evaluate your current system's condition, identify issues, and recommend solutions. Common upgrades include smart controller retrofits, nozzle replacements (MP Rotators for efficiency), adding zones for new landscaping, pressure regulation, and leak repairs. We can work with any brand or system type.

Question 9

How often should irrigation systems be serviced?

Accepted Answer

We recommend professional service four times per year aligned with North Texas seasons: (1) Spring startup and calibration; (2) Summer mid-season tune-up; (3) Fall comprehensive audit; (4) Winter freeze protection/winterization. Regular maintenance prevents costly repairs, ensures optimal performance, and maximizes water efficiency. Our maintenance clients receive priority scheduling and free seasonal adjustments.

Question 10

What happens if my system freezes in winter?

Accepted Answer

North Texas freeze events can cause severe irrigation damage-cracked pipes, broken backflow preventers, and damaged valves. Professional winterization (system blow-out and backflow protection) is essential before the first freeze. If damage occurs, we provide emergency repair service. Our installations include freeze-resistant components and proper insulation. Winterization is included in our annual maintenance programs.
