Brian was extremely thorough, honest, and communicated exactly what needed to be done... I'd highly recommend him for sprinkler service!

In 20 minutes Kyle offered 2 permanent solutions to 2 long term problems that the other company had not thought of
Keni R.
Their Expertise is worth paying for. In 20 minutes Kyle offered 2 permanent solutions to 2 long term problems that the other company had not thought of. Sprinkler work is expensive (but so are groceries) but Kyle offered a very fair price for the work described, lower than I expected for the combination of physical labor and technical expertise required.
Komal D.
Sprinkler Guru Brian is very generous man. He gave me his very honest and right advice for the job that I was looking for. I know I was keep asking him and every time without any fail he responded me. Thank you so much Brian. I really appreciate it.
Robyn G.
Brian was great to work with! He responded right away when I initially informed about his services. It was easy to set up an appointment and he kept his appointment as scheduled. He discussed the cost up front and did a great job inspecting our irrigation system. He left recommendations with me and the cost was reasonable. We will use this company again in the future and also recommend to family and friends!
Kyle V.
They came out today and actually did more work than required to find a valve before giving me an estimate on the job. They also offered to fix an unresolved issue I have when I needed it done quickly. I will definitely use them in the future for any irrigation repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tarrytown Irrigation
How do you install new sprinklers without damaging the roots of my massive Live Oaks?
Tree preservation is our highest priority in Tarrytown. Standard trenching machines can devastate a mature tree's root system. We utilize careful, low-impact installation techniques, often hand-digging around major roots or routing our lines entirely outside the critical root zone. We also heavily utilize subsurface drip irrigation in heavily rooted areas to completely bypass the need for deep trenches.
Will upgrading my old system help me comply with Austin Water restrictions?
Absolutely. Many historic homes still rely on outdated, manual timers that waste thousands of gallons of water and risk citations during drought stages. We upgrade your system with Wi-Fi-enabled smart controllers that pull real-time weather data. These systems automatically adhere to Austin Water's watering schedules and pause during rain events, keeping you compliant and dramatically lowering your utility bills.
How do you water the grass under the trees without causing Oak Wilt?
Oak Wilt is a severe threat in Central Austin. Standard pop-up sprinklers that spray water directly onto tree trunks create a damp environment where fungal diseases thrive. We solve this by creating separate hydro-zones. We use targeted bubblers or drip rings at the tree's drip line (the outer edge of the branches) to water the tree, and highly calibrated, low-angle nozzles for the turf that keep the tree trunk perfectly dry.
Can you protect the pier-and-beam foundation of my older home?
Yes. Many historic Tarrytown homes have pier-and-beam foundations that are highly sensitive to moisture changes. Overwatering near the house can cause soil expansion, leading to shifting and cracked drywall. We design our sprinkler zones to keep water spray safely away from the immediate perimeter of your home, and we can integrate discreet surface drainage to ensure rainwater routes away from your crawlspace.
