Sprinkler System Installation in Middle Tennessee

We measure the property, note sun exposure and slope, identify planting beds and check your available water pressure and flow. Those numbers determine how many heads can run per zone, which head types make sense, and how the zones get grouped.

Head to head coverage is the standard we aim for, meaning spray from each head reaches the next one. Skipping that is what produces the brown arcs you see in poorly designed lawns by mid July.

Trenching or pulling lines through an established lawn always looks worse on day one than it does two weeks later, but technique matters. We keep trench lines tight, pull pipe where the yard allows it, sleeve under hardscape rather than cutting it, and restore the surface as we go.

On new construction we prefer to install before sod, which is faster, cheaper and leaves no scars at all.

The best system in the world fails if the controller is set to water fifteen minutes on every zone forever. We program a starting schedule based on your zones and season, walk you through adjusting it, and run every zone with you so you can see the coverage yourself.

Smart controllers with weather based adjustment are available if you want the system to handle seasonal changes on its own.

On a new build, the ground under your sod was driven over by heavy equipment for months. Water hits it and runs off rather than soaking in, so a single long watering cycle mostly waters the street.

The fix is in the schedule rather than the hardware. Cycle and soak programming runs a zone in shorter bursts with rest between them, letting each application absorb before the next. We set that up at handoff and show you how to adjust it as the lawn establishes and roots deepen.
