Pressure and flow
Available water at operating conditions establishes how many heads or emitters can run together and which components are suitable.

Irrigation Systems
Irrigation plans and complete residential systems designed around available pressure, lawn coverage, garden zones and long-term performance.
The scope
Built as a complete system.
A dependable residential irrigation system starts with a plan—not simply placing sprinklers around a yard. We assess pressure and flow, then map lawn, garden and specialty zones, pipe routes, valves, head spacing, drip lines and controls around the site and finished landscape.
- Site-specific irrigation plan
- Pressure and flow assessment
- Pipe routes, valves and zone layout
- Lawn spray, rotor and drip coverage
- Controllers and rain sensors
- Testing, programming and owner walkthrough
Planning the work
What we account for before construction.
An irrigation system should be planned from measured operating pressure and flow, then divided into practical zones that match lawn, garden and specialty watering requirements.
Hydrozones
Lawns, gardens, planters, slopes and sun exposures are separated where their watering methods or schedules differ.
Routes and sleeves
Mainline, valves, laterals, control wire and hardscape crossings are mapped before finished surfaces limit access.
Controls and protection
Controller capacity, sensors, backflow requirements, isolation and winterizing access are considered as part of the complete system.
The RiverCity difference
Designed before it’s buried.
Installing irrigation as part of the landscape construction lets us coordinate pipe routes, sleeves, grades, planting and head placement before finished surfaces limit access. The result is cleaner installation and more purposeful coverage.
Our process
Clear from first walk to final review.
Measure and plan
We assess available pressure and flow, measure the site and prepare a practical plan showing zones, pipe routes, valves, heads and drip areas.
Install and test
Main lines, valves, laterals, heads, drip components and controls are installed and pressure-tested.
Program and review
Coverage is adjusted, the controller is programmed and the system is reviewed with the owner.
Preparing an accurate quote
Information that helps us understand the real scope.
Good early information reduces assumptions and helps identify the right site visit, measurements and construction approach for your irrigation project.

Common questions
Good to know.
Do you install complete new irrigation systems?
Yes. We install complete systems for new landscapes and major landscape renovations, including valves, lawn zones, drip zones, controllers and final setup.
Do you prepare an irrigation plan before installation?
Yes. We plan zones, pipe routes, valves, sprinkler spacing, drip areas and controls around the site measurements, available pressure and flow, and the finished landscape.
Can irrigation be installed with a new lawn or garden?
Yes. That is the best time to coordinate pipe routes, sleeves, head locations and planting zones before sod, hydroseed, gardens or hardscape are finished.
Can you improve an existing irrigation system?
Yes. We can assess coverage, replace worn components, improve zone control and update controllers when the existing system can be upgraded practically.
