Franklin lots, soil and slopes: what they mean for sprinklers
Older lots have mature trees whose roots are in the way of every trench and whose shade changes the zones; the design routes around the roots and waters the shade lightly.
New subdivisions were sodded on graded clay, and the irrigation the builder installed — if any — was the minimum; a redesign by zone is often the difference between sod that lives and sod that does not.
In a fast-built town the builder’s irrigation, if any, was the minimum, and a redesign by zone is the difference between sod that lives and sod that does not.
On a sloped yard the water runs downhill before it soaks in, and the zones on the slope are run in short cycles; the low corner gets less water than the controller thinks.
Where limestone is near the surface the trenches meet rock, and the design routes the mains where the digging is possible; the crew allows for it in the quote.

Why Franklin yards need us
Backflow prevention is the regulatory constant. Most Middle Tennessee utilities require a backflow preventer on any irrigation connection and an annual certified test on it, because an irrigation line is a direct path from standing yard water into the drinking supply. It is not paperwork for its own sake, and a contractor who does not mention it is a contractor to ask more questions of.
- Heads watering the driveway, the sidewalk or the road
- A water bill that jumped with no change in habits
- One zone that has stopped coming on at all
- Heads that have sunk below grade or been clipped by a mower
Mixing head types on one zone. Rotors and sprays apply water at completely different rates. On the same zone, one half is drowned and the other is dry.

How much does irrigation cost in Franklin?
Irrigation in Franklin is priced by the zone for a new system — the heads, the valves and the pipe for each — plus the controller and the backflow; a repair is priced by the part and the hour, and the leak is found before the part is named. New subdivisions were sodded on graded clay, and the irrigation the builder installed — if any — was the minimum; a redesign by zone is often the difference between sod that lives and sod that does not.
Who issues permits for irrigation in Franklin?
City of Franklin Building and Neighborhood Services and the water utility require a backflow preventer on every irrigation system and an annual test by a certified tester; the paperwork goes to the utility, and the technician files it.
