Sprinkler Installation
We design and install custom sprinkler systems for new construction and existing lawns. Using Rainbird equipment and self-draining technology, our installations minimize grass damage and eliminate annual blowout costs. Commercial and residential projects receive tailored layouts for optimal water coverage and efficiency.
Repairs
Our technicians service all sprinkler brands, fixing leaks, replacing damaged heads, and repairing control valves. We address drip irrigation issues, backflow problems, and controller malfunctions. Emergency repairs prioritize same-day solutions for residential and commercial clients across the Omaha metro area.
Spring Start Ups
Professional system activation includes checking water pressure, adjusting sprinkler heads, and testing all zones. We ensure proper backflow function and optimize coverage patterns. This service prepares your irrigation system for efficient summer operation while identifying potential issues needing repair.
Winterization
We protect systems from freeze damage by draining backflow devices and blowing out lines when necessary. Our self-draining installations reduce long-term costs by allowing homeowners to complete winterization independently using our step-by-step instructions for added convenience.
New Construction
Specializing in large-scale projects, we install irrigation systems for schools, parks, and commercial developments. Our team handles design, code compliance, and installation coordination with builders. Hundreds of annual residential and commercial installations demonstrate our capacity for complex, high-volume projects.
