Your Hill Country Lawn Is Dying—But Your Water Bill Is Skyrocketing
You're watching brown patches spread across your Spanish Oaks property while the water bill hits $400. The builder-grade irrigation system sprays half its water onto limestone rocks and the street, missing the root zones entirely.
The real cost of waiting: Without pressure-regulated zones designed for Bee Caves' rocky terrain, you'll burn through 30% more water while your foundation plantings wilt from shallow root development.

Irrigation Installation & Repair questions from Bee Caves homeowners
Frequently asked questions
My sprinklers work fine—why do I need a Bee Caves irrigation specialist?
Generic systems ignore your 50-foot elevation change from front to back yard. Hill Country pros install pressure regulators per zone, preventing the flooding at the bottom and misting at the top that wastes 40% of your water.
Can irrigation be installed in solid limestone without destroying my yard?
Yes—experienced Bee Caves installers use rock saws and horizontal boring to route lines around bedrock obstacles, avoiding the moonscape trenching that inexperienced crews leave behind.
How do watering restrictions affect my new irrigation system design?
Smart controllers auto-adjust to Austin Water's twice-weekly schedule and skip cycles during rain. Drip zones for beds aren't restricted, so we shift high-water plantings to drip for flexibility.
