Residential yards and commercial grounds across Laredo and Webb County.
Tell us roughly how big it is and what it needs.
We'll get back to you to talk the job through.
A system is designed to the property before any of it goes in the ground — zones worked out around what is actually being watered, so the lawn, the beds and the trees are not all fighting over one valve.
Then it gets installed, and — the part most people actually ring about — diagnosed when a zone stops working.
A locator finds the valve and traces the wire, so the bed gets opened in one place instead of being dug up looking for it.
A backflow preventer is what stops irrigation water being pulled back into the drinking supply, and it has to keep working for the system to be safe to run.
TM Lawn & Irrigation is licensed to test them — backflow licence BP25853 — and to repair or replace an assembly that fails its test.
Because the same crew looks after the irrigation system itself, a failed test does not mean going and finding somebody else to do the repair.
Regular mowing, and the first cut on a yard that has got well away from you. The two photos are the same garden, same visit.
Edged and blown down before we leave, because half of what makes a cut look good is what happens after the mower stops.
New turf over ground that gets opened up first. The old lawn comes out, the soil is tilled and leveled, and the sod is butted up tight so the seams close instead of settling into lines.
The two photos are the same strip. A lawn burnt down to thatch and weeds is quicker to replace outright than to nurse through another Laredo summer.
Beds drawn out and then built: gravel and decomposed granite with the stone set rather than dropped, and drought planting that will still be alive in August.
The design is the part that stops a strip of ground along a wall looking like leftover space — where the bed lines run, what goes in them, and what will still look deliberate in three summers.
Trees and shrubs set out with room to grow into, staked where the wind needs them staked, and watered in off the system that was put in with them.
Beds shaped, edged and finished in rock or mulch so the planting reads as deliberate.
Entrances, frontages, warehouse surrounds and the long strips along a boundary wall — the ground a property is judged on before anyone gets out of the car.
Kept on a schedule so it never gets to the point where somebody has to complain about it.
Rock caged and laid into a channel so the water slows down and stops carrying the bank away with it.
For the swale that scours out a little more after every storm.
A brown patch can be the mowing, the soil or a dead zone on the sprinklers, and it is usually quicker for us to come and look than for you to work it out. Send a photo and we will tell you what we think before we price anything. On the bigger jobs — a new system, a sod replacement, a full install — financing is available through Synchrony with approved credit; ask about it when you get the estimate.
Had us out for a mow, a sod job or a sprinkler repair? Tell us how it went — it helps a local outfit more than you would think.
