San Antonio Pro Landscape installs, repairs, and maintains irrigation systems for homes and businesses across San Antonio and Bexar County. A good system here does more than water your lawn and beds. It stays within SAWS Stage 1 through Stage 3 rules, uses water smartly to cut your bill, and is built for the soil and root-zone conditions that caliche creates.
SAWS Compliance: The Starting Point for Every Installation
Every system we install in San Antonio is built and programmed for full SAWS compliance from day one. SAWS runs seasonal watering stages from Stage 1 to Stage 3. Stage 1 allows watering twice a week on set days. Stage 2 cuts it to once a week. Stage 3 allows hand watering only. Our installs use smart controllers with SAWS-ready programming, rain sensors that pause watering after rain, and zone schedules that water only on your allowed days and hours — before 10am and after 8pm.
We update your controller for free whenever SAWS shifts between stages. You do not have to manage the schedule yourself.
Drip Irrigation vs. Spray Heads: What Performs Better in Bexar County
For beds and foundation plants, drip irrigation is almost always the better choice in San Antonio. Drip sends water right to the roots, cuts the evaporation that spray heads lose in our dry heat, and fits SAWS water-wise rules better. Spray heads suit turf areas on a regular lawn care program that need even coverage. The most efficient San Antonio systems use drip for all beds and pop-up spray for the lawn. This mix usually cuts water use by 30 to 50 percent versus all-spray systems.
Caliche and Irrigation Installation: What It Changes
Caliche affects irrigation in two ways. The same caliche issues that affect hardscape base work through caliche apply to irrigation trenching. Running mainline pipe and valve boxes through caliche needs pneumatic breaking or directional boring, not standard trenching — we include this in every Bexar County estimate. Second, caliche blocks water from moving below the hardpan. That concentrates roots above it and can waterlog the soil if you water too much. We set zone schedules around the caliche depth on your property. This is the same caliche layer that needs special prep for hardscape installation across Bexar County.
Irrigation Repair: All Brands, All Systems
We repair all brands and setups of home and commercial irrigation in San Antonio. Common repairs include broken spray heads and pop-up bodies, failed zone valves, cracked or leaking mainline pipe, bad rain sensors, and controller errors that cause SAWS violations. We diagnose the system right on the first visit and fix it fully. We do not patch problems that need a real fix.
Smart Controller Upgrades: The SAWS Savings Opportunity
If your San Antonio property has an old controller without weather-based scheduling, a smart controller upgrade is one of the best-value irrigation moves you can make. Smart controllers tied to local weather cut watering by 30 to 50 percent versus fixed-schedule units by skipping or trimming cycles after rain or when evaporation is low. SAWS offers rebates on smart controllers — we help you document the install for the rebate.
Confirmation point 1 before Water-System What’s included: Water-System Observations
A new irrigation system for a standard Bexar County home runs $2,500 to $5,500, based on lot size, zone count, and whether caliche breaking is needed. Smart controller upgrades run $350 to $600 installed. Annual spring startup and audit runs $85 to $150. Repairs are quoted after we assess the system.

Drip runs Monday and Friday under Stage 3. Our watering rules and efficient irrigation guide covers the hours and how to set a controller.
