In Phoenix, outdoor watering accounts for 60-70% of residential water use—and much of it is wasted through inefficient systems, broken components, and poor scheduling. Modern irrigation technology can cut your water consumption by 30-50% while keeping your landscape healthier than ever.

Required annual backflow preventer testing for code compliance. Winterization services to protect systems during freezing weather.
A modern, efficient irrigation system pays for itself:
For most desert landscaping, yes. Drip irrigation is 90%+ efficient compared to 50-70% for sprinklers. It's especially beneficial for xeriscape, shrub beds, and native plantings. Some homeowners keep spray for small turf areas and use drip everywhere else.
Studies show 20-40% water savings from weather-based smart controllers. They skip watering after rain, reduce schedules during cool weather, and prevent overwatering—all automatically. Many pay for themselves in 1-2 years through reduced water bills.
Annual spring check-ups catch issues before peak summer demand. This includes testing all zones, checking for leaks, adjusting heads, and updating seasonal schedules. Backflow testing is required annually by most municipalities.
Yes. Most systems can be retrofitted with drip zones, upgraded controllers, or repaired components without complete replacement. Your irrigation specialist will assess what can be salvaged vs. what should be replaced.
Drip emitters release water slowly at ground level (1-2 GPH) for deep root watering. Micro-sprays distribute water in a small pattern at low pressure. Both are more efficient than traditional sprinklers; choice depends on plant type and coverage needs.
Stop wasting water and money on outdated, inefficient irrigation. Modern systems keep your landscape healthier while dramatically reducing water consumption and costs.
