Drip Irrigation for Beds, Trees and Gardens in Flower Mound

Spray heads are the wrong tool for flower beds, shrubs and foundation plantings. They soak the leaves, miss the roots, and in Denton County they lose a large share of the water to wind and evaporation before it reaches the soil. Drip irrigation puts water at the root zone slowly, which plants prefer and water utilities reward.

What we install

• Bed conversions: an existing spray zone is converted to drip by capping the heads and running a pressure regulator, filter and drip tubing from one of them. No new valve or wiring needed in most cases.
• Dedicated drip zones for new landscaping, with their own valve and schedule.
• Tree bubblers and deep-root rings for new trees that need slow, deep watering through their first two summers.
• Vegetable garden drip on inline emitter tubing that can be moved as beds change.
• Foundation watering lines where soil movement is a concern. Slab foundations on the Blackland clay in the eastern part of Denton County move with soil moisture, so consistent watering around the perimeter during dry months matters, and a dedicated drip line is the controlled way to do it.

Drip repair

Drip systems fail quietly. Emitters clog with mineral scale, tubing gets cut by a shovel, and a missing end cap can run a whole zone onto the sidewalk. We flush, replace clogged emitters, repair cut tubing, and reset pressure regulators that have drifted. If the zone was installed without a filter, we add one so you stop replacing emitters every season.

Water savings

Drip typically uses 30 to 50 percent less water than spray for the same bed. Several Denton County cities have paid rebates on controllers and sensors in recent years; ask and we will check what is current in yours.
