New Sprinkler Systems in Nashville, Tennessee
Designed zone by zone for head-to-head coverage, your water pressure and the way your yard actually drains.

How new sprinkler systems goes, zone by zone
Zone count is not a preference, it is arithmetic. Available flow and pressure determine how many heads can run at once, and a system designed with too few zones simply delivers less water than any of its heads need.
Head-to-head coverage is the principle that makes a system work. Sprinkler output falls off toward the edge of its arc, so heads have to throw far enough to reach each other. Spaced to the edge of their range, you get rings of dry grass between them.

FAQ
People ask us about new sprinkler systems
How is a sprinkler system designed?
Zone by zone, from the water pressure and flow available at your house — which is measured, not assumed — and the shape, slope and sun of each area. Heads are spaced head-to-head so every spot is covered by two, lawn and beds are on separate zones because they want different water, and the controller is set for how each zone drains. A system designed from a catalog leaves dry arcs and wet corners.
Do I need a backflow preventer on a sprinkler system?
Yes — every Middle Tennessee utility requires one on any irrigation connection, and most require it to be tested and certified annually. It stops water from the yard being drawn back into the drinking water supply. It is installed with the system, and the annual test is a scheduled visit.
