Power on is not a tune-up. Run every zone. The winter they skipped is hiding in zone 5.
Sprinkler System Maintenance in The Woodlands is a local job: the grass, the clay, and the houses on those streets decide the repair. The Woodlands was sold as a forest. Irrigation that treats a pine lot like a Katy parkway drowns the shade and starves the sun. We split sun and shade, raise heads out of the duff, and keep water off the Waterway-side walks.
Creekside Park and Cochran’s Crossing want rotors on the open lawn and sprays that do not mist into the pines. Town Center pads are commercial. Nearby landmarks we actually use to find the lot: The Woodlands Waterway, Hughes Landing, Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, Lake Woodlands.
Sprinkler System Maintenance in The Woodlands
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 in sun, thin shade grass under pines, some zoysia on village 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. Conroe loamy fine sand over clay; pine duff on top, moisture at the clay contact 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. village homes built into existing pine-oak canopy; Town Center condos and office pads Typical irrigation failures here: shade vs sun on one zone, pine straw clogging heads, slopes that drain onto village paths
Power on is not a tune-up. Run every zone. The winter they skipped is hiding in zone 5.

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.

- Shadow Creek swamps are leaks, not rain — Brazoria clay holds water. A quiet lateral leak looks like a wet season. The meter still tells the truth.
- Conroe lake lots and April Sound laterals — Water runs downhill. A leak on a lake lot is a neighbor problem fast.
- South Houston: 811 is not optional — Original walks, original utilities, a two-foot strip. We do not guess.
- The rain sensor jumper is still in from install — That is why it waters through a thunderstorm. Pull the jumper. Put the sensor where rain hits.
- A rotor stuck at 90 on a half-circle lawn — Kids twist turrets. A 180 that became a 90 is a dry half-yard. Two minutes if the stem is not sanded stuck.
