Lawn Sprinkler Inspections
The Texas heat makes lawn maintenance an extremely time-consuming task. If your home has a sprinkler system, it's essential to ensure complete yard coverage. While basic sprinkler repairs are typically inexpensive, adding a new zone can be more costly. Therefore, as long as your system provides full coverage, most necessary repairs can be done affordably.

Benefits of a Well-Maintained Sprinkler System
Healthy Lawn and Garden: A well-maintained sprinkler system helps ensure a healthy and vibrant lawn and garden. The heat in DFW will quickly destroy any unwatered lawn.
Water Efficiency: Properly functioning systems are more water-efficient, saving on utility bills and conserving water. Fort Worth in particular has a pretty accurate water meter reader and loves sending high bills out to residents.
Preventing Damage: The number one cause of sprinkler damage is due to lawnmowers and then foot traffic. If you mow your own lawn, you should protect those sprinkler heads and mow around them. If a company most your lawn then you can put sprinkler guards around your sprinkler heads to make sure the mower avoids that area.
