Cedar Park's clay-heavy soil, summer heat, and watering restrictions from the local utility make a properly built irrigation system less of a luxury and more of a way to keep a lawn alive without wasting water or money. This category covers new sprinkler installs, drip irrigation for beds and foundations, controller and smart-timer upgrades, backflow testing, seasonal start-up and winterization, and repairs for broken heads, leaks, and zones that won't turn on. We've identified 12 businesses in the Cedar Park area doing this work.
What to look for before hiring
Ask whether the company pulls permits and performs backflow testing, since many Texas municipalities require it annually. Check that they design zones around your yard's actual sun, slope, and soil rather than using a generic layout, and that they separate turf zones from shrub or drip zones so you're not overwatering one to satisfy the other. A written estimate with head count, pipe depth, and controller brand beats a vague lump-sum quote. Ask how they handle warranty callbacks for heads that sink, drift, or fail within the first season, since that's the most common issue with new installs.
How our scoring works
We weigh review consistency, how a company responds to complaints, licensing and insurance where applicable, and the range of services offered (install, repair, drainage, backflow).
