Commercial Irrigation Repair in Katy, Texas

Parking islands, apartment walks, and HOA commons in Katy. Evening work and photos for the property file when needed.

Katy HOAs planted St. Augustine in four-foot parkways and then water it like a farm. Cinco Ranch, Firethorne, and Cane Island show the same pattern: too many heads on one valve, a mower that takes the top off every Saturday, and a controller still on the builder’s six-minute cycle. We repair the heads, split a zone when it is starving, and set shorter watering cycles so clay can soak it in so water does not sheet down the driveway.

77494 clay plus daily irrigation keeps underground pipes shallow. Bamboo on west-side fences is a drip/bed problem, not a lawn-head problem. We say which.

Property managers call when a walk is a slip or the water bill jumped. We start with a controller map if one exists, then a we turn the system on and watch after hours if the lot is busy.

Islands get rotors that throw onto cars if nobody has touched them in three years. We drop nozzles, add check valves on heads that drain onto the sidewalk, and split zones that were never designed for the live oak the architect left.

We invoice with before/after photos. That is the job as much as the wrench.

Why Katy lawns fail this way

Katy HOAs planted St. Augustine in strips that get mowed every Saturday. Summer watering keeps the top of the soil wet, so pipes stay shallow and heads hide in the grass. Builder timers still run six minutes every morning. Night watering with rest between cycles is the fix — plus heads that match each other.

Soil. Katy fine sandy loam over tight clay; irrigation keeps the upper 18 inches wet all summer

Grass. St. Augustine on HOA parkways, Bermuda on some newer Cinco Ranch pads

Houses. 1990s–2010s master-planned two-stories with HOA sidewalks and thin parkway strips Typical failures: dry parkway strips, overloaded zones, Rain Bird sprays beheaded by mowers, daily summer run times

Katy HOAs photograph grass and runoff. We match sod, keep water off the street, and write the quote so the committee sees a finished parkway.
