Customized Systems Built Around Your Landscape


Watering your yard should feel effortless—and when your system is properly installed, it is. We take the time to understand your property’s layout, sun exposure, soil type, and plant selection before designing your irrigation system.

New Sprinkler System Design & Installation

Installing a sprinkler system is a long-term investment in the health and beauty of your yard. Our expert team handles everything from planning to post-installation testing.

  • Zone mapping based on plant needs and layout
  • Above-ground or in-ground systems
  • Rotor heads, spray heads, or hybrid systems
  • Full system pressure balancing
  • Clean, non-invasive installation

We make sure your new system is not only effective but also built to last with minimal maintenance.

Irrigation Repair & Efficiency Upgrades

Leaks, overspray, and uneven watering can waste gallons of water and leave your plants stressed. We provide fast diagnostics and long-term fixes.

Our repair services include:

  • Sprinkler head replacement or adjustment
  • Leak detection and pipe repair
  • Valve troubleshooting
  • Pressure regulation
  • Wiring and controller issues

If you’ve inherited an outdated or poorly installed system, we’ll bring it up to modern standards—with options for smart upgrades that reduce both waste and water bills.

Drip Irrigation for Drought-Resistant Landscapes

Drip irrigation is ideal for California’s dry summers and water restrictions. It delivers moisture directly to the root zone, minimizing evaporation and runoff.

We install and maintain systems that work for:

  • Vegetable gardens
  • Flower beds
  • Potted plant zones
  • Native and drought-tolerant landscapes

Our systems include timers, filters, and pressure regulators to ensure even distribution and minimal clogging.

Our process includes:

  • Lawn tear-out or soil prep
  • Grading and drainage assessment
  • New irrigation lines or drip tubing
  • Sod delivery and installation

A new lawn isn’t just about looks—it’s about healthy root systems, proper watering, and long-term growth. We make sure you get all three.
