Irrigation Systems Services in Houston, TX
Healthy landscapes start below the surface. Swain’s Services, LLC designs and installs irrigation systems that match your plants, soil, and sunlight—delivering the right amount of water with minimal waste. From new builds to retrofits, we set up zones, pressure, and coverage so lawns stay green, beds stay healthy, and hardscapes stay dry.
Every property is different, so we group plants by water needs (hydrozoning) and choose delivery that fits: high-efficiency spray for turf, MP rotators for even coverage on larger areas, and drip lines for beds, trees, and narrow strips. We size pipe correctly, regulate pressure at the valve or head, and add rain/freeze sensors and smart controllers to cut runoff and lower your bill.
Our process starts with a free on-site assessment. We check water pressure/flow, meter/backflow location, grade, soil type, sun patterns, and plant palette—then map zones, head counts, and controller placement. Once approved, we trench or vibratory-plow lines, install valves and wiring, set heads to grade, flush the system, program run times, and walk you through the app.
We build for Houston’s clay soils and big rain swings. That means cycle-and-soak programming to prevent puddling, drip in beds to keep foliage dry, check valves on slopes to stop low-head drainage, and proper setbacks from drives and structures. Need more control? We can add moisture sensors, flow monitoring, and master valves for leak detection and auto-shutoff.
Choosing Swain’s means clean installs, neat valve boxes, labeled zones, and clear instructions. We leave straight lines, flush heads, and tidy beds—plus a simple care guide for seasonal tweaks. From the first pressure test to the final program, we focus on reliability, water savings, and plant health.
