Irrigation Work Liberty Hill. Can a well designed irrigation system cut your water bill by 30% while growing healthier turf? Absolutely—custom zoning, smart controllers, and seasonal audits deliver head to head coverage without runoff or waste. For Liberty Hill’s clay soils and masonry landscapes, proper irrigation prevents erosion around stone beds too.
Why Is Irrigation Design Critical for Texas Clay Soils?
Liberty Hill’s heavy clay holds water but drains poorly—overwatering drowns roots, under drowns. Zoned systems (turf vs. shrubs vs. beds) apply exact needs: 1″/week deep. Rain/freeze sensors comply with Williamson County restrictions, avoiding fines.
Corey Perfection Landscape’s maintenance includes irrigation tweaks—ensuring spray doesn’t hit masonry walls, preserving rockwork.
What Components Make a High Performance Irrigation System?
Controllers & Sensors
Wi Fi smart (Hunter/Rain Bird): Weather adjusts, app control. Rain/freeze sensors save 20–40%. $300–$800.
Heads & Valves
Pop ups (12–15′ radius) for turf; rotors trees. Anti siphon valves prevent backflow. Hunter MP Rotators 30–50% efficient vs. impact.
Pipes & Backflow
PVC Schedule 40; Hunter ASV backflow (tested yearly). Drip for beds conserves 60%.
Design: Head to head overlap, 30–45 PSI pressure.
When Should You Install or Upgrade Irrigation?
New construction: Pre landscape. Existing: Spring audits reveal leaks (30% waste). Signs: Brown patches, pooling, high bills. Upgrades: Smart retrofit $2k–$5k.
