  • How often should I service my irrigation system in Missouri?

    For optimal performance in Missouri's climate, we suggest the following schedule: a spring start-up inspection in March or April, a mid-season check in June or July, fall winterization in October or November, and an annual backflow test, which is required by law.
  • What are signs my sprinkler system needs repair?

    Several indicators suggest your sprinkler system may need repair. These include unexpectedly high water bills, uneven lawn watering, reduced water pressure, leaking sprinkler heads, brown patches in your lawn, sprinklers that don't rotate properly, and water pooling in certain areas.
  • Do you offer emergency irrigation repair services?

    We do provide round-the-clock emergency irrigation repair services across Springfield and nearby areas. Our certified technicians are ready to respond swiftly to urgent issues such as major leaks, system failures, or damage that could potentially affect your property.
  • How long do retaining walls last in Missouri's climate?

    When constructed with high-quality materials and proper drainage systems, retaining walls can last between 50 to 100 years. Our walls are specifically designed to endure Missouri's freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rainfall, utilizing materials such as concrete blocks, natural stone, or brick.
  • What types of sprinkler heads are best for different areas of my yard?

    We generally recommend rotary heads for expansive lawn areas, spray heads for smaller spaces, drip irrigation for gardens and flower beds, multi-stream rotators for sloped areas, and bubbler heads for trees and shrubs.
  • How does backflow testing work, and why is it required?

    Backflow testing is an annual safety inspection mandated by City Utilities to safeguard the public water supply from contamination. Our certified technicians conduct thorough testing and provide the necessary documentation to the city authorities.
  • Are irrigation systems worth the investment?

    Irrigation systems typically offer a strong return on investment through various benefits. These include water savings of 30-50% due to efficient distribution, increased property value, healthier and more attractive landscaping, reduced maintenance time, and prevention of over or under watering.
  • Do you offer financing for irrigation and hardscaping projects?

    We do offer flexible financing options through our trusted partners. This makes it more convenient for you to invest in your property improvement projects. We can discuss various payment plans during your consultation.
