Irrigation & Sprinkler Systems for Carthage yards
Carthage has the classic East Texas profile, sandy loam over red clay, so long cycles flood the low side of the yard and leave the high side thirsty. Shorter cycles, zones split by slope and shade, and drip on the beds fix most of it.
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 Carthage
Lawn Maintenance
Carthage lawns are often a mix: St. Augustine under the trees out front, Bermuda in the open back, and on bigger lots a pasture edge that never got sodded.
Drainage & Grading
Carthage soil is the classic East Texas setup, sandy loam on top and red clay underneath, so rain soaks in fast, hits the clay and moves sideways toward the slab and the low corner of the yard.
Sod Installation
If your Carthage lawn thinned out as the trees grew in, or you are starting from bare dirt on a new build, sod is the fast fix.
Landscaping
On older Carthage homes, the usual story is good bones and tired beds: overgrown foundation shrubs, edges that melted into the lawn, and plants that quit years ago.
Leaf Removal
Between the pines, post oaks and pecans in older Carthage yards, leaf season starts in October and does not really end until February.
Christmas Lights
Carthage sits inside our standard Christmas light range, so most homes start at $900.
Fertilization
On Carthage lots that run St. Augustine under the trees and Bermuda in the open, one bag rate across the whole yard does not work, because shaded St. Augustine needs a lighter hand while sunny Bermuda can use more.
Hedge Trimming
Older Carthage homes often have foundation hedges of holly, ligustrum or boxwood that were sheared into boxes for years and went thin at the bottom.
