Old Hickory 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.
Lakeside lots sometimes draw irrigation water from the lake with a pump, which is a different system with its own filtration and rules; the contractor should know both.
The house and its hardscape — the drive, the patio, the beds against the foundation — set where the heads go and what they must not water.
The ground is the irrigation design — clay that takes water slowly, rock in the trench, a slope that sheds water — and the zones and the schedule follow it.

Why Old Hickory 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.
- One zone that has stopped coming on at all
- Heads that have sunk below grade or been clipped by a mower
- A system that has never been winterized before a hard freeze
- Dry patches that stay dry no matter how long the system runs
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 Old Hickory?

Lakeside lots sometimes draw irrigation water from the lake with a pump, which is a different system with its own filtration and rules; the contractor should know both.
Who issues permits for irrigation in Old Hickory?
Metro Nashville Codes and Building Safety 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.
