Austin's Licensed Irrigation Experts
Water is a precious resource in Central Texas, and a properly designed and maintained irrigation system is one of the most important investments you can make in your Austin property. Grass Works Austin holds a State of Texas Irrigator License (#LI19556), meaning all of our irrigation work meets the highest professional and legal standards in the state.
We design irrigation systems that deliver the right amount of water to every zone of your landscape. Our systems are engineered for Austin's clay and limestone soils, the region's variable rainfall patterns, and Austin Water's tiered pricing and restriction schedules. A well-designed irrigation system can reduce your water bill by 20–40% compared to manual watering or poorly calibrated systems.
Beyond new installations, our team provides comprehensive irrigation repair, seasonal startup and winterization services, and water efficiency audits throughout Austin, Cedar Park, Round Rock, and the Highland Lakes area.
Austin Water's Stage 1 and Stage 2 restrictions require homeowners to water on specific days and times. Our irrigation systems are programmed to comply with current restrictions, and our smart controller upgrades automatically adjust watering schedules based on local weather data — so you're never watering during or after rain.
If you have an existing system that isn't performing well — dry spots, soggy areas, broken heads, or a controller that's difficult to program — our repair and audit services can diagnose the problem and restore your system to peak efficiency. We service all major brands including Rain Bird, Hunter, Toro, Orbit, and Irritrol.
Texas law requires all irrigation contractors to hold a state irrigator license. Grass Works Austin is fully licensed and compliant. Verify our license at the TCEQ website. We also carry full general liability and workers' compensation insurance on all crew members.
