Arizona's #1 Smart Irrigation Experts
The Science of Water in the Valley of the Sun
Irrigation in the Sonoran Desert is not a chore; it is a complex science of biology, physics, and geology. We don't just fix sprinklers; we engineer ecosystems.

Arizona Water Conservation Requirements
Mandatory Conservation: Arizona enforces year-round water conservation for the majority of water users across the state.
Scottsdale Specific: City of Scottsdale provides detailed water conservation guidelines and resources for residential properties.
50-Year Success: Despite population growth, Arizona's overall water use remains similar to 50 years ago thanks to conservation investments.
Smart Technology: Conserva systems integrate with local weather data and soil moisture sensors for precision watering.
Why Scottsdale Lawns Fail
Most systems in Maricopa County are designed for Ohio, not Arizona. They spray water at plants, not to the roots.
The Evaporation Tax
Spraying at 2 PM loses 40% of water to the dry air before it hits the ground.
The Pressure Fog
High pressure turns water into mist. Mist doesn't water grass; it waters the wind.
The Soil Mismatch
Troon North has granite. Fountain Hills has clay. If you water them the same, you kill the landscape.

Expert solutions tailored to the unique challenges of desert landscaping

Technical Engineering Specifications
Every Conserva system is engineered using precise measurements and calculations specific to Scottsdale's unique desert environment. We don't guess—we measure, calculate, and optimize.
Precipitation Rate Optimization
Matched to soil infiltration rates for zero runoff
- •Sandy soils (North Scottsdale): 1.5 in/hr capacity
- •Clay soils (Fountain Hills): 0.5 in/hr maximum
- •Loam blends (Paradise Valley): 1.0 in/hr optimal
- •Prevents pooling and erosion in Sonoran Desert terrain
Evapotranspiration Management
Summer ET rates in Greater Scottsdale area
- •Peak July ET: 12+ inches (extreme water loss)
- •Optimal watering: 4-6 AM (lowest evaporation)
- •Wind factor: 10-15 mph average affects spray patterns
- •Smart controllers adjust for real-time weather data
Soil Percolation Analysis
Infiltration testing for hydro-zone design
- •Decomposed granite (Troon): Fast drainage (2.0 in/hr)
- •Caliche layers: Requires modified watering cycles
- •Clay content testing: Determines cycle-soak intervals
- •Root zone depth mapping for native vs turf areas
Cycle + Soak Programming
Short burst watering prevents runoff
- •15-minute cycles with 30-minute soak intervals
- •Reduces runoff by 60% vs single-cycle watering
- •Allows deep root penetration in desert hardpan
- •Customized per station based on slope and exposure

Precision Diagnostics: We Don't Guess, We Test.
Most "repair guys" just replace parts until the problem stops. We use forensic tools to find the root cause of the failure, saving you money on repeat visits.

The "Band-Aid" vs. The Cure
A wet spot on your lawn is a symptom, not the disease.
Electrical Troubleshooting
We don't dig up your yard looking for cut wires. We use Pro-800 Wire Tracers to pinpoint the exact location of the break underground.
The "Fogging" Test
If your sprinklers look like a mist machine, your pressure is too high (80+ PSI). This destroys valves and evaporates water. We install Pressure Regulators to bring it down to a healthy 40 PSI.
See why cheap retail valves fail under pressureBeyond the Broken Head
Stuck Valves
Debris in the diaphragm causes valves to stay open, flooding your yard. We rebuild the manifold with commercial-grade scrubbing filters.
Drip Line Blowouts
High heat expands poly tubing, popping emitters off. We retrofit with positive-locking clamps.
Controller Confusion
Programming errors are the #1 cause of dead plants. We wipe the slate clean and program a "smart schedule" based on evapotranspiration.
Repair FAQ
Q: How much does a repair cost?
A: Our service call fee captures the diagnostic. Most standard repairs (valve replacement, line breaks) are quoted flat-rate upfront. No hourly surprises.
Q: Do you fix low voltage lighting too?
A: Yes. The wiring logic is similar. If we are already digging for a pipe, we can repair your path lights simultaneously.
Irrigation Design for the 21st Century Desert
Your landscape has evolved. Has your irrigation kept up? We replace 1990s "spray and pray" systems with precision "soak and save" technology.
The 3 Pillars of Design
The Engineering Behind the Install
Hydro-Zoning
We never put a Citrus Tree and a Cactus on the same valve. They have biologically opposing needs. We group plants by water requirement, not just location.
Why Citrus needs its own dedicated zoneMatched Precipitation
We use Hunter MP Rotators. These multi-stream nozzles deliver water at a slow rate that the soil can actually absorb, eliminating runoff onto sidewalks.
Smart Brains
Every new install comes with a Wi-Fi controller that adjusts for local rainfall and wind.
Compare the best controllers hereStop Watering the Concrete
An old PVC system with leaking glued joints can waste 5,000 gallons a month.
The Retrofit
We don't always need to dig up the whole yard. We can often "Retrofit" your existing pipes with high-efficiency heads and valves, giving you a new system at half the disruption.
Installation FAQ
Q: Will the installation ruin my grass?
A: We use a "vibratory plow" for pipe pulling which slices the turf rather than trenching it. Within 2 weeks, the scar is invisible.
Q: Is there a warranty?
A: Yes. 5 Years on all Hunter/Rain Bird Pro-Grade parts, and 2 Years on our labor.
Commercial Water Management: Protect Your Bottom Line
For HOAs and Property Managers, water is often the #2 expense after landscaping labor. We turn that expense into a managed asset.
The Risk of "Wet Concrete"
In a commercial setting, a misaligned sprinkler isn't just a puddle; it's a slip-and-fall lawsuit.
The Night Audit
Our crews inspect systems between 2 AM and 5 AM, ensuring no overspray hits walkways or parking lots before residents wake up.
Tier 1 Shortage Compliance
We manage your water budget to keep you compliant with Scottsdale and Phoenix drought contingency plans, avoiding heavy fines.
Protecting the Investment
A dead palm tree costs $2,000 to replace. A washed-out slope in Fountain Hills costs $20,000 to re-grade.
The Strategy: Flow Sensors
We install master valves with flow sensors. If a main line bursts at 3 AM, the system detects the high flow and shuts itself off instantly, preventing catastrophic erosion.
See how we manage high-volume estate systemsCommercial FAQ
Q: How do you handle billing for HOAs?
A: We provide detailed "Zone Maps" and photo documentation with every invoice. The Board knows exactly what was fixed and why.
Q: Can you help us get a rebate?
A: Yes. We handle the paperwork for City of Scottsdale "Water Efficiency Rebates" for smart controller upgrades.
