Irrigation & Sprinkler Systems for Big Sandy yards
Big Sandy earns its name: deep sand that takes water fast and gives it up fast. We water the part of the property you actually use, zone it by sun and shade, and put beds on drip, rather than trying to irrigate acreage that does fine on rain.
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.
What's included
- New sprinkler system design and installation
- Zones laid out by sun, shade, turf and beds
- Drip irrigation for flower beds and shrubs
- Backflow prevention device on city water
- Rain or freeze sensor on new automatic systems
- Permits pulled where the job requires them
- Repairs: heads, lines, valves and wiring
- Controller setup and seasonal schedule
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.

More we do in Big Sandy
Lawn Maintenance
Big Sandy lawns are often big and open, with fence lines, outbuildings and a long drive to work around.
Sod Installation
On a big lot, sodding the whole thing is rarely needed, and we usually recommend sodding the front and the area around the house where it shows and gets used.
Drainage & Grading
Big Sandy drainage problems tend to sit at the bottom of the lot: the low corner near the creek or ditch, or the side of the house where a downspout dumps into flat sand over clay.
Leaf Removal
Country lots around Big Sandy collect leaves and needles from the tree line every fall, and the wind pushes them across the open lawn and into the beds.
Flower Bed Installation
Big Sandy beds on open lots take full afternoon sun, so we plant what likes it: lantana, salvia, plumbago and annual vinca, which goes in once the soil warms up in mid-May.
Christmas Lights
Big Sandy is well inside our Christmas light range, and most homes start at $900.
Fertilization
On a big Big Sandy lot, it rarely makes sense to feed every acre.
Hedge Trimming
Around Big Sandy, hedges tend to be either foundation shrubs on the house or long screens along a property line.
