Irrigation & Drainage in Clovis, CA: Past the Builder's Basic Sprinklers
The System the Builder Left Is Rarely the One You Want
New homes in Clovis's subdivisions almost always come with an irrigation system, and it is usually the basic one the builder put in to get the landscaping signed off: a few spray zones on a simple timer that water the whole yard the same way, whether it is lawn, a planting bed, or bare ground. It keeps things alive, but it wastes a lot of water and gives every plant the same drink regardless of what it needs, which shows up in your water use and in patchy, over- or under-watered spots.
We rework those systems into something that actually fits the yard: drip where planting beds and drought-tolerant areas belong, efficient spray only where a lawn calls for it, and a smart, weather-based controller that waters based on real need rather than a fixed clock. Because we design and build entire landscapes, we set up the irrigation to match the planting plan, not the builder's shortcuts.

What a Clovis Lot Asks of an Irrigation System
Watering a Clovis yard comes down to a few local realities:
Builder systems water everything the same
The basic system on a new Clovis tract home usually runs a few spray zones on a simple timer, giving the lawn, the beds, and everything else the same water. That wastes water and leaves some plants soaked and others thirsty, so the fix is zoning the system to the planting and putting drip where spray is just overspray.
New-tract ground that will not take water in
The lots in Clovis's newer subdivisions were packed down hard during construction, so the ground takes water in slowly and spray runs off before it soaks. Drip and proper zoning meter water in where roots can use it, which suits that dense soil far better than a system blasting spray across it.
A hot valley summer and metered water
Clovis bakes through a long, dry summer, and water here is metered, priced, and rule-bound, so a system that wastes it costs you on the bill and against the limits. We design the watering to keep the yard healthy on as little water as the planting allows.
Irrigation Work We Do on a Clovis Lot
From a full retrofit to targeted upgrades, we handle the watering system in-house:
Zoning the system properly
Splitting the yard into zones that match how each area is planted, so beds, drought-tolerant areas, and lawn each get the right amount instead of one setting for everything.
Drip conversion
Converting spray in beds and drought-tolerant planting to drip that delivers water to the roots with almost no waste.
Smart controllers and sensors
Weather-based controllers and rain and moisture sensors that water on actual need rather than a fixed schedule, where much of the water savings comes from.
Repairs and coverage fixes
Correcting the dead zones, overspray, and dry patches a basic system leaves, and replacing heads and valves that are not doing their job.

Why Clovis Homeowners Have Us Redo Their Irrigation
We match the system to the planting
Because we design and build the whole landscape, we set up the irrigation around the plan: drip where beds and drought-tolerant plantings belong, and spray only where a lawn needs it. A system zoned to the planting waters efficiently and keeps the yard even, which a one-size builder setup never does.
Smart control is where the savings live
A weather-based controller with rain and moisture sensors waters only when needed, rather than a dumb timer, and that is where much of the water savings come from in a market with conservation rules and rising costs. We install and program it so the system runs itself sensibly.
One licensed company, backflow handled right
We hold an active C-27 license (CSLB #1058363), a bond, and workers' compensation. We run the outdoor water lines, and backflow-preventer installation and certified testing are handled through our plumbing partner, with any required permit or water-district test flagged, so the system is done right and testable.

Clovis sits right against our Fresno base, so scheduling is quick, and we are easy to reach. Our own crews do the install, and we answer for how the system runs long after it goes in.

Clovis Irrigation & Drainage FAQs
Is my builder's sprinkler system worth upgrading?
Usually, yes. Most new-tract systems in Clovis are basic spray on a simple timer that water everything the same and waste a lot. Zoning the system to the planting, converting beds to drip, and adding a smart controller cuts water use and keeps the yard even.
What is drip irrigation, and where does it go?
Drip delivers water slowly directly to the roots, with almost no overspray or evaporation, making it far more efficient for beds and drought-tolerant plantings. For a lawn, efficient spray or subsurface drip makes sense. We match the method to how each area is planted.
Will a smart controller really cut my water use?
It helps a lot. A weather-based controller with rain and moisture sensors waters only when needed, rather than on a fixed clock, which is one of the easiest ways to stop wasting water. We install and program it so it runs sensibly for your yard.
Who handles the backflow preventer?
We run the outdoor water lines, and backflow preventer installation and certified testing are handled by our plumbing partner. We flag any required permit or water district test so it is all done right and on record.
