What we do
A sprinkler system in East Texas has one job: put the right amount of water on each part of the yard and nothing on the driveway. Sun and shade, turf and beds, flat ground and slopes all drink differently, so we lay out zones around how the yard actually behaves instead of running one big loop and hoping. Lawns get heads spaced for full coverage, and beds get drip so the water goes to the roots instead of the leaves and the siding.
Texas treats irrigation as licensed work. A licensed irrigator has to design and install a system put in for hire, systems tied to city water need a backflow prevention device, and new automatic systems need a rain or freeze sensor so they don't run in a storm or a hard freeze. Our irrigation work is done under a Texas licensed irrigator, and we pull whatever permit the city or county requires before we dig.
Already have a system that isn't working right? We fix broken heads and lines, leaking valves, zones that won't come on, heads spraying the street, and controllers nobody has set since the house was built.

How the job goes
New systems go in best in spring or fall, when the ground is workable and the lawn recovers fast from trenching. Repairs happen year-round. Before the first hard freeze, make sure the system has a working freeze sensor or is shut off, and check every zone again when you turn it back on in spring.
Walk the yard
We look at the lawn, the beds, the slope and the water source, or at the system you have and what it's doing wrong, then send a written quote.
Design the zones
Turf, beds, sun and shade each get their own zones so every part of the yard gets the water it needs and nothing more.
Permit and install
We pull the permit, trench, lay pipe, set heads, drip and valves, and tie in the backflow device and controller.
Check every zone
Every zone is run and adjusted for coverage, and the licensed irrigator checks the system before we call it done.
Set the schedule
We program the controller for the season and show you how to change it, so you aren't watering in the rain.
Sand on top, clay underneath, and water that won't wait
Most East Texas yards are sandy loam over red clay. The sand takes water fast and dries out fast, then the clay underneath stops it and pushes it sideways. A system that runs one long cycle floods the low corner and leaves the high side dry. Shorter cycles that let the water soak in, with zones split by slope and sun, keep the whole yard even.
Beds are the other mistake we see. Spray heads in a flower bed soak the leaves, the mulch and the side of the house and still leave the roots thirsty. Drip puts the water at the roots, wastes almost none, and keeps foliage dry, which matters with the fungus that shows up here in a wet, warm spring.
Irrigation & Sprinkler Systems questions
Something else on your mind? Ask us in the quote form.
Are you licensed to install sprinkler systems in Texas?
Yes. Our irrigation work is designed and installed under a Texas licensed irrigator, licensed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, who checks every system. We pull the permits the job requires.
How much does a sprinkler system cost in Longview, TX?
It depends on how much of the yard you want watered, how many zones that takes, whether beds need drip, and your water source. We price irrigation after a free walkthrough and send a written, itemized quote, usually within a day.
Do you repair sprinkler systems you didn't install?
Yes. We fix broken heads and lines, leaking valves, zones that won't come on, bad wiring and heads spraying the street, on systems we put in and systems we didn't.
Do I need a permit for a sprinkler system?
Many East Texas cities require one for a new irrigation system, and the rules vary by city. We check what your address requires and pull the permit before we start.
Should my flower beds be on drip or spray?
Drip, almost always. Spray heads in a bed wet the leaves, the mulch and the house and waste water to wind and evaporation. Drip puts water at the roots and keeps foliage dry, which helps keep fungus down in our humid springs.

“I recently hired Miller to clear out my ditch area, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the results. From start to finish, the service was professional and efficient. They cleared the area quickly, removing overgrowth, debris, and ensuring proper drainage. Highly recommend Miller for any type of lawn care!”
