Every question we get. All in one place.

$90 flat within our service area. Covers diagnosis and small in-truck parts. Larger repairs are quoted before we start.

Most leaks are a cracked riser (mower or foot traffic), a worn wiper seal on the pop-up, or a lateral line break downstream. We diagnose in the service call and replace on the spot when we can.

Yes if you have four or more zones. A Hunter Hydrawise or Rachio pays back in 12–18 months on water savings alone in Phoenix, because it dials down as ET drops in fall and winter.

Every day. Bring us in for the audit and we'll tell you what's actually wrong before you sign anything else.

An 8-fixture package runs $1,600–2,400. A 16-fixture package runs $2,800–4,000. Custom scopes are quoted after the design consult.

Yes. Every design consult happens after dusk with a temporary kit so you approve the actual effect, not a rendering.

LED only. Uses 80% less power, lasts 15+ years in Phoenix conditions, and doesn't cook the fixture housing.

Usually yes — we size transformers with headroom so future adds don't require repulling wire. Bring us in for a walk.

Simple pot-in-basin bubblers start around $2,500 installed. Boulder waterfalls and koi ponds run $8,000–35,000+ depending on scale, stone, and filtration.

A well-designed feature is quarterly maintenance — pump check, filter clean, water top-off. Koi ponds need weekly filter service in summer bio-load.

Not if it's built right. We size UV clarifiers, biological filtration, and circulation for our peak summer load — not for a Portland climate.

Yes. Spillover walls, cascading rock waterfalls into pools, and integrated spa spillovers are common. Coordinate early — pool plaster color matters.

Natural gas if you can reach a meter — cheaper long-term, no tank swaps. Otherwise a buried propane tank.

A pre-fab gas fire bowl on a plumbed line runs $1,800–3,200 installed. Custom masonry fire pits run $3,500–8,500. Full outdoor fireplaces run $7,500–22,000+.

Yes. Every gas run gets a permit and inspection. We handle it.

Yes — spillover bowls with a fire ring above is a favorite. Corten steel bowls read especially well.

20–30 years if the base is right. We compact 4–6 inches of road-base over geotextile — that's the whole game.

Yes. Regulation is 13×90 feet but we've built scaled-down 8×60 backyard courts that play beautifully.

Basic bar-and-grill scope runs $8,500–15,000. Full kitchen with side burners, fridge, storage, and stone counters runs $20,000–55,000+.

Ramada if you want real shade and rain protection. Pergola if you want dappled light and lower cost. Both are engineered.

$250 for a site walk and concept plan, credited to install.

Mostly. We lean on natives and desert-adapted species — but a well-placed non-native (bougainvillea, olives, citrus) earns its water.

Xeriscape is layered planting designed for low water. Rockscape is a driveway pretending to be a yard. We do the first.

Not the way we design. Three-height planting reads as lush as anything with a lawn — see the gallery.

Kurapia if you look at the lawn more than you walk on it. Tahoma if you have kids, dogs, or entertain — it handles traffic.

Installed over proper base with drainage: $9–15 / sq ft. Putting greens with cup and fringe run $14–22 / sq ft.

Yes — sod install with sub-base amendment and irrigation. Bermuda / rye or Tahoma 31.

See our watering schedules page — different head types need very different run times. Bermuda 3x/week deep in summer.

High-pressure misting (1,000+ psi) drops ambient air 20–30°F. The hose-bib kits at the hardware store do not.

No — the water atomizes into fog that evaporates before it lands. That's the whole point of high pressure.

A typical 400 sq ft ramada system runs $1,800–3,200 installed. Larger patios with multiple zones run $3,500–7,500+.

Phoenix hard water clogs mist nozzles. Every install has an inline sediment filter. Annual service keeps them clean.

Short irrigation cycles with soak periods between so water infiltrates hard caliche soil instead of sheeting off. If you see puddles, your per-cycle time is too long.

Daily watering trains roots shallow. Shallow roots brown fast and die in a summer heatwave. Deep infrequent watering trains roots 6–12 inches down.

Spray heads throw a fan. Rotors rotate a single stream. R-VAN nozzles throw multiple thin rotating streams. See the section above for run times.

Yes — $130 audit covers head ID, run time by zone, and controller programming. $350 invasive audit adds catch-cup precip measurement.

Most leaks in Phoenix are a cracked riser from mower or foot traffic, a worn wiper seal on the pop-up, or a broken lateral downstream. Replacement heads run $15–30 installed; a seal service is typically covered by the $90 flat service call.

An 8-fixture home package runs $1,600–2,400. A full 16-fixture package runs $2,800–4,000. Night design consult $250 (credited to install).

Layer three heights: canopy shade trees (mesquite, palo verde, ironwood), understory shrubs (agave, Texas sage), and living groundcovers or tall grasses. Reads full and lush with 40–60% less water than turf.

A new 4-zone residential system runs $4,500–6,000. Per-zone (R-VAN or drip) runs $800–1,500 with a smart controller add of $385.

3x per week deep, cycle-and-soak. Head type dictates run time — see our watering schedules page.
