Irrigation System Installation & Repairs

Installation covers planning the zones, laying the lines, setting heads and controllers, and testing the system so coverage matches what the landscape actually needs. Zoning is the part that determines whether the system works well over time, since lawn areas, planting beds, and newly installed material all have different water demands. Southern Love Landscaping & Design designs the layout around the property rather than dropping in a standard grid. Once the system is running, our team walks you through the controller so you know how to adjust it through the seasons.

Dry patches next to soaked areas, heads that don't pop up or spray in the wrong direction, pooling near a zone, and an unexplained jump in the water bill are the most common signs. Systems also drift out of adjustment over time as soil settles, planting fills in, and heads get knocked out of position. In Central Texas, a system running inefficiently through summer wastes a significant amount of water before anyone notices. Our team diagnoses the cause rather than replacing parts and hoping the symptom clears.

Repairs are handled on existing systems regardless of who installed them. Our team evaluates the current layout, zoning, and condition before recommending work, since in some cases the original design is the real problem rather than any single broken component. Where that's true, we'll say so and explain what reworking a zone would involve instead of patching the same failure repeatedly. Ongoing checks are covered through our irrigation maintenance and audits service.

Irrigation is planned alongside the landscape and installed before planting and finished surfaces go in. Running lines after a yard is complete means cutting into new beds, sod, or hardscape, which adds cost and disturbs work that was just finished. Planning both together also produces better zoning, because the system is built around what's actually being planted. On design and build projects, our team sequences the two so the landscape gets proper coverage from day one.

Southern Love Landscaping & Design installs and repairs irrigation systems throughout Austin, Cedar Park, Lakeway, West Lake Hills, Tarrytown, Steiner Ranch, Leander, Round Rock, and Georgetown. Central Texas heat and periodic watering restrictions make efficient zoning and proper coverage more consequential here than in most regions.
