Tailored Irrigation Solutions for Arlington Properties
Sprinkler installation in Arlington is critical for maintaining lush, green landscapes amid the city's humid subtropical climate, where summer highs often reach the upper 90s and occasional winter freezes threaten sprinkler components. Whether you're watering turf around Globe Life Field or irrigating foundation plantings in the Viridian community, a custom-designed system ensures even coverage, water efficiency, and healthy growth. Arlington's native soils—ranging from heavy clay in South Arlington to sandy loams near Lake Arlington—have unique infiltration and retention characteristics, so precise head selection, zoning, and scheduling are key to preventing runoff and overwatering.
Arlington's Unique Irrigation Challenges
Clay Soils & Runoff
Much of western Arlington features expansive clay soils that hold water but seal off when compacted, causing surface runoff. To address this, we begin with a percolation test to determine infiltration rates. We then specify matched-precipitation spray nozzles (e.g., Rain Bird MPR series) spaced 15–20 feet apart for turf zones, combined with short-cycle scheduling that allows water to soak in before the next round.
Sandy Loam Zones Near Lake Arlington
Properties closer to Lake Arlington often sit on sandy-loam soils that drain quickly, risking drought stress in turf and ornamentals. We integrate deep-root drip lines and micro-spray emitters for planting beds, delivering slow-release moisture to roots without evaporative loss. Turf areas receive rotary stream rotors with lower precipitation rates to encourage deeper root growth.
Watering Restrictions & Drought
The City of Arlington enforces odd/even watering days year-round and bans irrigation between 10 AM–6 PM from June through September. Our WeatherTRAK and Hunter Pro-HC controllers sync automatically with local weather stations to adjust schedules based on rain, temperature, and evapotranspiration data—ensuring compliance and maximizing efficiency.
Freeze & Storm Protection
Arlington's winters can briefly dip below freezing. We install freeze sensors that automatically suspend irrigation when temperatures approach 35 °F, protecting pipes and heads. Heavy summer storms can shift heads or clog filters; our systems include debris screens on each zone and quick-connect nozzles for easy cleaning and realignment.
Permitting & HOA Compliance
Most Arlington neighborhoods—Paine Davis, The Parks at Arlington, and others—require irrigation permits and adherence to setback rules. We handle all utility locates, permit submittals, and HOA reviews, ensuring your installation meets City Development Services requirements without delay.
Benefits for Arlington Property Owners
Boosted Property Value
A professionally installed sprinkler system can elevate curb appeal and market value by up to 7%, particularly in high-demand neighborhoods near Six Flags or Arlington ISD campuses. Prospective buyers appreciate low-maintenance, water-smart landscapes.
Water Conservation
Smart controllers and matched-precipitation nozzles cut water use by 25–35% versus manual watering—critical when Arlington's summer demand strains municipal supplies. Automated rain and freeze shutoff further eliminate waste.
Aesthetic Excellence
Even coverage eliminates brown patches and puddling. Deep-root irrigation promotes resilient turf that withstands Texas heat, while drip and micro-spray zones keep flower beds vibrant without overspray onto sidewalks or driveways.
Our Installation Process
Site Assessment
We conduct a detailed survey, mapping soil types, slope gradients, existing irrigation, and plant palettes. Our comprehensive property analysis identifies Arlington's specific conditions, including local water pressure variances and landscape features.
Custom Design
Using pressure/flow data and GIS mapping, we create a multi-zone plan tailored to Arlington's topography—rotors for open lawns, sprays for tight spaces, and drip for beds. This precision design approach accounts for Arlington's varying soil conditions and water regulations.
Professional Installation
Crews trench color-coded mainlines, install PVC or polyethylene piping below the standard 12-inch frost line, and fit quick-connect zones with built-in check valves to prevent low-point drainage. Our careful installation preserves your landscape while ensuring system durability.
Controller Integration
We mount smart controllers in sheltered locations, connect to Wi-Fi if desired, and program odd/even schedules aligned with Arlington's ordinance. Our technicians ensure your system is properly configured to meet local watering restrictions while maintaining optimal landscape health.
Testing & Training
Zones are tested for uniformity; nozzles adjusted to eliminate overspray. Homeowners receive a walkthrough of the control panel and maintenance tips specific to Arlington's seasonal irrigation needs.
