Smart WiFi Controller Upgrades
One of the most common upgrades we perform is replacing old timer boxes with smart controllers.
We install:
-
- Hunter Hydrawise controllers
- Rain Bird ESP-TM2 with LNK WiFi module
- Rain Bird ESP-Me3 smart controllers
These systems allow you to:
-
- Control watering from your phone
- Adjust schedules remotely
- Automatically adapt to weather
- Monitor zones individually
- Reduce unnecessary watering
In our experience, once clients switch to a smart controller, they rarely want to go back to a manual timer. Utah weather changes fast. Smart controllers adjust for that.
Valve & Zone Upgrades
Older irrigation systems often have failing valves or poorly divided zones.
Our client concerns are usually:
-
- One zone won’t shut off
- A zone won’t activate
- Water pressure seems inconsistent
- Coverage is uneven
We replace worn valves, rebuild manifolds when necessary, and reorganize zones to improve performance. Sometimes the fix is simple. Sometimes it requires reworking sections of the system. We evaluate that on site.
Converting Spray Zones to Drip
We’re doing more spray-to-drip conversions every year.
As homeowners replace lawns with drought-tolerant landscaping, traditional spray heads in shrub beds become inefficient. They overspray rock. They create runoff. They waste water.
We convert those zones to drip irrigation for:
-
- Garden beds
- Decorative gravel areas
- Parking strips
- Xeriscape projects
If you’re planning a water-wise landscape upgrade, this typically ties directly into your irrigation changes.
Why Upgrading Your Sprinkler System Makes Sense in Utah
Utah soils are heavy and compacted in many neighborhoods. Spray systems often run too fast, which leads to runoff instead of absorption.
Older controllers also don’t adjust for seasonal changes. They water the same in April as they do in July.
In our experience, upgrading the controller and correcting a few zones can dramatically improve efficiency without rebuilding the entire system.
Who We Upgrade Sprinkler Systems For
We upgrade irrigation systems for:
-
- Homeowners in established neighborhoods
- HOAs with aging infrastructure
- Commercial properties
- Properties transitioning to xeriscaping
We are licensed and insured. We use professional-grade Hunter and Rain Bird components. And we design upgrades to work long-term, not just get through this season.
