Not Houston Black. Heads still get mowed. Wells still starve rotors.
Sprinkler System Maintenance in Magnolia is a local job: the grass, the clay, and the houses on those streets decide the repair. Magnolia’s Woodforest walks sit on sandier soil than Houston Black. Heads still get mowed. Wells still starve the last rotor. The HOA walk is the same political problem as Bridgeland with a different cut.

Sprinkler System Maintenance in Magnolia
A Houston sprinkler tune-up is a full wet check: every zone, every head, the rain sensor, the box, and the clock. We catch the mower-hit and the clogged nozzle before the St. Augustine writes a brown circle.
Spring and early fall are the right times. August is when people notice. We still come in August — we just tell you the grass will take a week to answer.
Maintenance is not a contract that mows. It is a listed wet check with repairs priced as we find them, or a not-to-exceed if you want that. No surprise manifold replacement hiding in a “tune-up.”
HOA front yards in Cinco Ranch and Bridgeland get the parkway heads raised before the mowing crew beheads them again.
Grass, soil, and housing on this side of town
Grass. St. Augustine, Woodforest HOA turf, sandier lots St. Augustine wants a deep soak. Bermuda forgives a miss for a day. Mixing them on one valve is how one strip stays swampy and the other crunches.
Soil. sandy loam, pines, wells on acreage Houston-area clay heaves shallow PVC and keeps valve boxes wet. We pack repairs so the next shrink-swell cycle does not walk the coupling off.
Housing. acreage and 2000s–now subdivisions Typical irrigation failures here: sandier trench walls, wells, Woodforest parkway heads
Not Houston Black. Heads still get mowed. Wells still starve rotors.

Questions we get on this pairing
Do you offer monthly irrigation service?
Tune-ups and on-call repair. We are not a mow crew.
Should I winterize in Houston?
Blowouts are for real winters. Here we insulate the backflow before a rare freeze and drain what the city tells us to.
How often?
At least twice a year. After a freeze warning, add a look at the brass.
Keep reading (different streets, different repairs)
- Water restrictions and a clock that still runs noon — Harris County odd/even and drought rules change. The builder program does not. We set the clock to the current rule.
- Apartment phasing so residents keep a dry walk — Do not shut a whole loop. Sequence buildings. Check valves on heads that drain onto stairs.
- A filter on drip or you own the clog — Houston mains and wells both carry grit. Unfiltered drip is a punch-fitting graveyard.
- The Woodlands: sun and shade on the same station — A pine lot is not a Katy parkway. One valve watering both drowns the shade and starves the sun.
- Lake Jackson canopy is the town — Full-sun programs under oaks waste water and the turf. Zone to the shade.
