How it works
- 01
Step 1: Walk the zones
We run each valve, note what the old heads watered and find any leaks.
- 02
Step 2: Cap, convert or remove
Spray heads come out. Lines that are sound convert to drip, and the rest are capped.

Step 3: Lay the drip
Emitters go at each plant, sized to the plant and where it will be when it's grown.
- 04
Step 4: Test and set the schedule
We run every zone, check each emitter and leave a controller schedule written out in plain words.

Questions about this job
Can I keep my old sprinkler pipes?
Often, yes. Where the pipe is sound we convert the line to drip. The estimate says which lines stay.
How often should new plants be watered?
New plants need more water until they settle. We leave a written schedule that steps down over time. Follow it, and ask if a plant looks stressed.
Do you work on backflow devices?
We note where yours is and what condition it's in. If it needs testing or repair we say so in the estimate.

We measure, look at the valves and send a written estimate.
