Zone capacity
The controller needs enough stations for the present system and reasonable future additions without unnecessary complexity.
Better control for every zone
Irrigation Controllers & Sensors
Controller, rain-sensor and scheduling upgrades that make residential irrigation easier to manage season by season.
The scope
Built as a complete system.
The controller is where an irrigation design becomes a workable watering schedule. We install and configure controls around the actual zones, local conditions and the way the homeowner wants to manage the system.
- Controller replacement and installation
- Zone labeling and setup
- Rain-sensor integration
- Seasonal scheduling
- Start-time and run-time review
- Owner walkthrough
Planning the work
What we account for before construction.
Controller and sensor selection should fit the number of zones, field wiring, available power, connectivity and the level of scheduling control the owner will actually use.
Power and wiring
Indoor or outdoor mounting, transformer requirements, field-wire condition and valve compatibility are confirmed before replacement.
Weather response
Rain, freeze or weather-based sensors can pause or adjust schedules when installed and configured for the site.
Owner operation
Programming, app access, seasonal changes and manual operation should remain understandable after the installation is complete.
The RiverCity difference
Designed before it’s buried.
A controller only saves water when zone information and schedules match the system in the ground. We pair the control upgrade with testing and practical programming.
Our process
Clear from first walk to final review.
Check compatibility
We review the existing wiring, valves, zone count, mounting location and desired control features.
Install and label
The controller and applicable sensor are installed, connected and organized by zone.
Program and explain
Schedules are entered, each zone is tested and the controls are reviewed with the homeowner.
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 controllers & sensors project.

- Indoor or outdoor mounting location
- Available power and Wi-Fi signal
- Number of active and spare zones
- Sensor or smart-control preferences
- Any known wiring or valve problems
Common questions
Good to know.
Can you replace an older irrigation controller?
Yes. We first confirm wiring, zone count and valve operation, then select a compatible controller and test every connected zone.
What does a rain sensor do?
A compatible rain sensor can interrupt scheduled irrigation during wet conditions so the controller does not run unnecessarily.
Will you program the controller?
Yes. We set up the zones and an initial practical schedule, then explain how to make seasonal adjustments.
