Good to know in Houston

Houston clay shifts and cracks sprinkler lines, and mowers break heads in summer. A broken head can waste hundreds of gallons a day. Rain sensors keep sprinklers from running in a storm.

In Texas, installing or repairing a sprinkler system for hire must be done by a TCEQ-licensed Landscape Irrigator or a tech working under one. The license number must be on the truck and on every estimate and invoice. New systems need a rain or freeze sensor and backflow prevention.
