Irrigation in the Desert

Water in Las Cruces is expensive and getting more so. The city enforces mandatory watering schedules that change by season, and violations come with fines. A poorly designed irrigation system wastes water, costs you money, and can damage the landscape it's supposed to support — overwatering in caliche soil creates standing water that rots roots and attracts pests.

A well-designed system does the opposite. It delivers the right amount of water to the right zones at the right times — spray heads for turf, drip emitters for beds and trees, smart controllers that adjust automatically based on weather and season. Everything stays within the city's watering schedule without you having to think about it.

David is NDS Pro Certified and has been designing and installing irrigation systems in the Mesilla Valley for over 19 years. He knows which heads work in our water pressure, which drip emitters hold up in the heat, and how to zone a system so nothing gets too much or too little water.

Irrigation FAQ

How much does a sprinkler system cost in Las Cruces?
It depends on yard size, number of zones, and whether you need drip, spray, or a combination. Most residential systems in Las Cruces run between $2,500 and $6,000 installed. David will give you an exact quote after seeing your property — no ballpark guessing.
How often should I service my irrigation system?
At minimum, twice a year — a spring startup to check for winter damage and adjust run times for summer, and a fall adjustment to cut back watering before winter. Systems with smart controllers need less hands-on attention, but a visual check of heads, valves, and drip emitters each season catches problems before they waste water.
Should I switch from sprinklers to drip irrigation?
For xeriscape beds, native plantings, and trees — yes, drip is far more efficient and keeps water off hardscape and walls where it causes damage. For turf areas, spray heads are still the right tool. Most Las Cruces properties end up with a combination of both, which is what we typically design.
What are the Las Cruces watering restrictions?
Las Cruces enforces mandatory watering schedules that vary by season. During summer, residential properties are typically limited to three days per week. Smart controllers can be programmed to comply automatically. We set all our installs to the current city schedule and show you how to adjust when the schedule changes.
Can you fix a sprinkler system someone else installed?
Yes. We repair and retrofit all brands and system types. A lot of our repair calls are for systems with poor coverage, stuck valves, or broken heads from age and sun damage. David will diagnose the issue on-site and give you a straight answer on whether it's worth repairing or replacing.
