The overview

What it is, and why it matters.

Backyards are larger, sunnier and busier than front yards: patios, play sets, garden beds and sometimes a pool. We design zones around how you use the space, use rotors on large open lawn and sprays on small or irregular areas and keep water off the patio, the deck and the pool equipment.

In Nashville's hot summers, a south-facing backyard can dry out in days. We tune the zones for full sun, partial shade and slopes, and add drip for the vegetable bed or the flower border. A smart controller then keeps the lawn thick without watering during rain.

Good questions

Backyard Sprinkler Systems: common questions

Are rotors or spray heads better for a backyard?

Rotors apply water slowly over longer distances and suit larger lawns. Sprays suit small or odd-shaped areas. We use each where it works best and never mix them on one zone.

When should the backyard run?

Early morning, before sunrise to mid-morning, is best for most lawns. It limits evaporation and wind and gives grass time to dry during the day.
