IRRIGATION & DRAINAGE IN PROSPER
Prosper's go-to team for sprinkler repair, drainage, and irrigation upgrades.
YOUR LOCAL PROSPER IRRIGATION TEAM
Prosper is one of the fastest-growing cities in North Texas, and we're one of the most active irrigation repair teams working here. Most of our Prosper calls are sprinkler repairs on 1–5 year old builder-grade systems that are already showing problems: broken heads from mower damage, zones that won't fire, coverage gaps the builder never accounted for, and controllers that can't keep up with Prosper-sized lots. We diagnose on-site, quote before we touch anything, and fix the problem the same visit whenever possible.
WHERE WE WORK IN PROSPER
From new master-planned communities to established lakeside streets, we cover all of Prosper.
FROM EVERY STREET TO EVERY SUBDIVISION
We run Prosper routes multiple times a week and know every major subdivision: Windsong Ranch and Star Trail on the west side, Whispering Farms and Gentle Creek in the central master-planned communities, Brookhollow along 380, and newer developments like Lakes of Prosper, Rhea Mills, and Artesia. Whether your system was installed last year or ten years ago, we've worked on the same builder-grade equipment in your neighborhood and know exactly what to look for.
Most of our Prosper work is sprinkler repair on builder-grade systems that are 1–5 years old. Broken heads, stuck valves, coverage gaps, and controller issues are the top calls. We carry replacement parts for every major brand on every truck.
Prosper lots are bigger than typical North Texas suburban lots, which means more zones, more heads, and longer mainline runs. Builder installs often cut corners on coverage for the far corners of these lots. We fix that.
Heavy North Texas clay throughout Prosper, especially in newer subdivisions where topsoil was scraped during construction. Freeze-thaw cycles crack shallow pipe runs and shift heads, which is why so many Prosper homeowners call us after their first winter.
We pull Prosper permits, coordinate the town's required final inspections, and handle backflow registration in-house. You don't deal with the town hall on anything we do.
Prosper's water rates are tiered aggressively, which makes smart controller upgrades one of the best ROI moves on a big lot. We install Rachio and program it for your actual landscape, not a generic schedule.
LOCAL PATTERNS WE KNOW
The issues that come up unusually often on Prosper systems, and what we do about them.
Broken Sprinkler Heads From Mower Damage
"Sheared-off or cracked heads along mow lines, water geysering from a broken riser"
This is the single most common repair call we get from Prosper. Lawn crews hit heads every week on big lots. We replace with the same brand and model, or upgrade to more durable pop-ups that sit lower and are harder to clip. Most repairs take 15–30 minutes per head.
Builder-Grade Coverage Gaps On Big Lots
"Brown patches in the corners or along fence lines on Windsong Ranch, Star Trail, or Lakes of Prosper homes"
Builder installs on Prosper's big lots are almost always under-zoned. The original head spacing was designed to minimize cost, not to cover every square foot of your yard. We redesign with proper head-to-head coverage, matched-precipitation nozzles, and rebalanced zones so the entire lawn gets even water.
Zones That Won't Turn On Or Won't Shut Off
"Controller clicks but nothing happens, or a zone keeps running after the cycle ends"
Usually a bad solenoid, a stuck valve, or a wiring issue at the valve box. On newer Prosper homes this often traces back to builder-grade valves that weren't installed cleanly. We diagnose with a multimeter and valve locator and fix it on the spot.
Smart Controller Upgrades
"A basic dial timer on a brand-new house, water bills climbing every summer"
Most Prosper builders install the cheapest possible controller. A Rachio or Hydrawise smart controller pays for itself in 12–18 months on a Prosper-sized lot through water savings alone. We swap the old controller, program every zone to your actual landscape, and walk you through the app.
Drainage Problems From Lot Settling
"New low spots forming after the first year of settling, water pooling against the foundation"
New construction lots in Prosper settle over the first 12–24 months as the fill compacts. Low spots that weren't there at closing start collecting water after a few heavy rains. We install French drains and channel drains to catch the water before it reaches the foundation.
Freeze Damage On Young Systems
"Cracked backflow, split lateral lines, or heads that won't pop up after a hard freeze"
Prosper systems that weren't winterized properly take damage every year. We see cracked backflow preventers, burst lateral lines, and frozen valve diaphragms. We repair or replace on-site and can winterize the system properly before the next freeze season.

PROSPER FAQs
We charge a $50 service call fee that covers the full system inspection, diagnosis, head adjustments, and controller programming. That fee is applied toward any repair work you approve. Most single-issue repairs (broken head, stuck valve, solenoid replacement) are straightforward and quoted on-site before we start. Call us for a visit.
Yes, every neighborhood. Windsong Ranch, Star Trail, Whispering Farms, Gentle Creek, Brookhollow, Lakes of Prosper, Rhea Mills, Artesia, and everywhere in between. We're 25 minutes from our Little Elm shop and our trucks are in Prosper multiple times a week.
About 25–30 minutes from our shop. Call before noon and we can usually be there the same day or next day, depending on our schedule. For emergencies like a broken mainline or a zone that won't shut off, we prioritize.
Broken heads from mower damage on big lots. After that: coverage gaps from under-zoned builder installs, stuck valves, and controller issues. All are quick, on-site fixes. We carry parts for every major brand on the truck.
Unfortunately, yes. Builder-grade irrigation in Prosper is installed to pass inspection, not to perform well for years. Under-zoned coverage, cheap controllers, and minimal-grade valves are standard. The good news is that most of these issues are inexpensive to fix once someone who knows what they're doing looks at the system.
Yes. The Town of Prosper requires permits for new irrigation installations and backflow replacements. We pull the permit, coordinate inspections, and register the backflow. You never deal with the town hall.
Almost always yes. Prosper-sized lots use a lot of water, and Prosper's tiered water rates mean the more you use, the more each gallon costs. A Rachio or Hydrawise smart controller cuts usage by 20–30% by skipping cycles after rain and adjusting for temperature. ROI is typically 12–18 months.
