Sprinklers & Irrigation for Carrollton Homes
Many Carrollton homes in Country Place, Rosemeade and Highlands of Carrollton still run sprinkler systems that are decades old. Heads break under mowers, pipes crack when clay shifts and controllers get set once and forgotten. The result is dry patches, soggy beds and water running down the street. A repair visit can find leaks, replace heads, fix valves and adjust spray so water lands on the lawn instead of the driveway.
Carrollton has its own rules. From April 1 through October 31, automatic systems may not run between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. The city also publishes a voluntary twice-weekly residential schedule, so check the suggested schedule on the Carrollton water conservation page. Sprinkler runoff that travels well past the property is an ordinance violation, and rain and freeze sensors are required on new systems. Drought stages have been declared in dry years and can tighten rules.
Upgrades save water and plants. Smart controllers adjust for weather, and drip irrigation works well for beds, shrubs and foundation plantings. On clay soil, Cycle Soak watering helps water soak in before it runs off. Carrollton offers Save Water by the Yard irrigation inspections and a rain and freeze sensor program, and you may qualify, so check rules. Before trenching for a new system, Texas 811 needs two business days notice. Call to schedule sprinkler service.
